  [SPEAKER_03]: My friends and I will be back tomorrow, and the next day and the next day and the day after that.
• 2:08
  [SPEAKER_03]: I use women came into Thursday night's late game at USC on a three game winning streak, but without their potential all big tin performer Shesky, they were beaten 79 to 73.
• 2:21
  [SPEAKER_03]: but the Hoosiers are playing much better later in the season.
• 2:24
  [SPEAKER_03]: They hung with USC all night, and the Trojans were the beneficiary of 35 free throw attempts.
• 2:31
  [SPEAKER_03]: You may hear the frustration and Michelle's voice coming up.
• 2:34
  [SPEAKER_03]: Of course, we do try to avoid talking about officiating.
• 2:36
  [SPEAKER_03]: We didn't talk about it too much, but she was frustrated.
• 2:39
  [SPEAKER_03]: And they also got 24 points from Jazzy Davidson.
• 2:43
  [SPEAKER_03]: IU Freshman, Maya McAleski from Hamilton, Southeastern, had a game high 29 points.
• 2:49
  [SPEAKER_03]: Bright future for her.
• 2:51
  [SPEAKER_03]: Michelle and I talked about it following the game on Thursday night.
• 2:55
  [SPEAKER_03]: Michelle really good effort tonight out in Los Angeles without one of the conferences best players.
• 3:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think the best player, the best scoring guard in the conference anyway.
• 3:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought you played sensational, and they were bothered by, you know, foul trouble.
• 3:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: They, I think we're like 14 to 17 at the long, where you UCLA was like 25 to 30, or 20 something 35.
• 3:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: They got that many more free throw attempts, and that's literally where they won the game.
• 3:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was the free throw line, because they outscored.
• 3:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: You at the free throw line.
• 3:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I you a few turnovers, but I more in the second half, which I think came from fatigue.
• 3:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: No shay means You just shortens your bench.
• 3:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Look 70 Really basically five deep with shit now.
• 3:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Shay in there.
• 3:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just so time.
• 3:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think she played well times.
• 3:47
  [UNKNOWN]: I
• 3:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I hate to say this very angry, I don't think she's met expectations this season.
• 3:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think she's got comfortable in this system yet.
• 3:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: But that said, I used to play a really good basketball right now and it's not going to show it.
• 4:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think they'll make the big tournament because I looked and they'll lose the UCLA.
• 4:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: I figured they'd lose these two matches and UCLA without Z they can't match up with UCLA inside.
• 4:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: but they can win the rest of those games, and that will put them in the big tin tournament.
• 4:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I use dangerous enough, and they can get a winner too in the big tin tournament.
• 4:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're playing very well right now, and that's very excited about, I think you're very excited about the future.
• 4:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Back in the last one.
• 4:36
  [SPEAKER_03]: That's my question, yeah.
• 4:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, what am I doing for her?
• 4:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: You look at that, and yes, and her scoring.
• 4:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I look at what Navaya Caffey does on both ends of the floor.
• 4:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's tremendous.
• 4:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: is fresh, but she does, and I think she's really her poise in some of the things she does and defensively what she does.
• 4:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: But Maya tremendous, and Maya has gotten better defensively, it's a better communicator.
• 4:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Beaumont, she's getting her legs back under this, and she's played very well.
• 5:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Those three next year.
• 5:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: And Noyan, I'm going to say this, Noyan has improved tremendously just in the last month.
• 5:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think when she can be more of that
• 5:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: comfort and go back to you to four or five roll.
• 5:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I look forward to her next year, you know, they got to get Z-He healthy.
• 5:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: But IU has a tremendous freshman class coming in next year.
• 5:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I think they'll fit in very well.
• 5:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think the McDonald's all married, the girl that's some of the McDonald's.
• 5:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've tried to watch as many clips of her game as I can.
• 5:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I really, really like it.
• 5:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Our games a lot like Beaumont's was when Beaumont was in high school, but this
• 5:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: she's macroscopy size and a better athlete than a little bit better athlete than macroscopy.
• 5:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I use going to have some size next year.
• 5:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: One of the guards coming in's 57, but she is so quick.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking forward to it.
• 5:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: The girl from Australia is there.
• 6:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: You can see her on the bench.
• 6:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: you were watching games earlier and then you're wondering who this real tall girl with hair down past your shoulders like brown hair is.
• 6:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's one of the recruits for next year.
• 6:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: She enrolled, you know, for the second semester.
• 6:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: So she could work out with the team.
• 6:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: The team is the plan was never to play her this year.
• 6:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: But she came in and the fact that she's with the team and practicing is going to give her a whole
• 6:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: semester up on the system next year, which will be good for you.
• 6:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: I will say this.
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I give you women a lot of kudos tonight.
• 6:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really thought when I heard Shea was out, I really, really expected I used to lose by 20 and they weren't in that game up until the end.
• 6:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: And part of that is another player who is getting more comfortable and whose athleticism is really good.
• 6:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: journey kiyaku.
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: She was fabulous tonight too when her speed and everything.
• 7:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not disappointed.
• 7:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: You see, USC got some wins.
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're going to struggle and even if they get due to back next year, they need a big, I think, to make, to make, to make very much noise in the NCAA tournament.
• 7:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Although, I say that, but I am looking
• 7:24

• 15:41
  [SPEAKER_03]: And both boys and girls have big weekends ahead of them.
• 15:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: Let's start with the girls.
• 15:49
  [SPEAKER_03]: Scott, we match with Alexandria.
• 15:53
  [SPEAKER_03]: Clearly, they want out of Alexandria that makes them the favorite going into this, but your thoughts.
• 16:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's been fun to watch these girls for the last three years, man.
• 16:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of the juniors that have been that are now, that can, the major contributors for Oak Hill have grown up playing for Coach Parkman.
• 16:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've just continued to improve and mature and understand how to play the game together.
• 16:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're just a really good, they're a really good, tight knit team.
• 16:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: And they're really tough, they're very athletic.
• 16:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: They've got size everywhere.
• 16:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm even at the guard position in retirement, notwithstanding, and she's the best athlete on the team.
• 16:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: you look at Coropond, she's 5-8, probably 5-7-5-8 with Link.
• 16:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Eric and Newhouse is about the same
• 16:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're so disruptive on the perimeter, guard-wise, Eric and Newhouse is such an instinctual defender.
• 17:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes Newhouse, what she does doesn't show up in the box school, remains she impacts the game in a lot of different ways.
• 17:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: against Rochester Saturday night in the sectional championship.
• 17:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, went the first almost six minutes of the basketball game and didn't score.
• 17:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Hartman finally got him off to snide in a three pointer weight with about two and a half minutes to go.
• 17:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: And the first core, she scored five points.
• 17:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was a five game at the end of the first.
• 17:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: new house hits a three to start them off in the second quarter and then Pong gets a steel and hits a three and so they went from five five and the first eight minutes to eleven five and the in the ninth minute and Oak Hill was kind of often running in and Rochester was fighting up uphill battle the rest of the way um you know they did a nice job of controlling the tempo and
• 18:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: playing at that to pace that they wanted to play, Rochester was very physical, probably, at least at the games that I've seen the most physical team that Oak Hill matched up with all year.
• 18:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: But Oak Hill can play a lot of different ways.
• 18:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think they would prefer to play a lot faster than Rochester wanted them to play.
• 18:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oak Hill had a little terrible taking care of the basketball at times against Rochester.
• 18:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, they're, they're just the tough, and that's what I saw.
• 18:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: And you were there, you were in the gym, in the jungle there, and I was on January 29th.
• 18:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think Coach Kille just presents a very tough matchup for Alexander with all the sizes that they have in the athleticism and the link.
• 18:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's, you know, I, I was in the injuries.
• 18:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: The average in nearly almost 60 points of game, and I just think they had a hard time finding shots.
• 19:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: They had a hard time breaking down O'Kills, guards on defense.
• 19:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: And when you do break them down, then you've got Morgan Cates and reanodately protecting the ram.
• 19:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're just a tough matchup.
• 19:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're, you know, they're, I know they gave up 40 points against a wall bashed in the sectional semi-final.
• 19:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Coach Parker wasn't real pleased about that effort.
• 19:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: there for about the last month of the season, O'Kill was leading the state in all classes and points of loud average defensively.
• 19:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I think that 40 point game bumped them up over 28 for the season.
• 19:39
  [SPEAKER_03]: Corrapond hit a bunch of three pointers against Alexander, but really the difference was the defense.
• 19:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that's been the difference for them all year long.
• 19:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: They have relied heavily on
• 19:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: on breed daily, she's kind of been their consistent score.
• 19:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: most nights and I think she's average in probably, probably 15, 16 points of game.
• 20:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's been a different person on the perimeter from night to night, Lily Edwards has given them some good nights from beyond the three point arc.
• 20:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Alex Andria was did a concert at effort.
• 20:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: It looked like they weren't going to let Lily get any open looks and, you know, that was a core how to huge night and then needed to have a huge night that night against
• 20:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, that was, she was a big difference in that game, but yeah, um, you know, Oak Hill's defense has been nothing all year long and
• 20:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't realize that making his girls were there tonight at Mary and high school practice and what I went out and watched, okay, I'll practice Tuesday evening at Mary and just to see what their practices look like and they really get after it, that they spend a lot of time on their half-core defense and how they're going to try to get out on shooters and how they talk and switch and on the ball handlers and they're well-oiled machine and
• 21:08
  [SPEAKER_03]: And if they can be Alexandria, then you're talking about a semi-state with something like Rinsalier Central, LaPelle, and Wico, and Wico, yeah, um, that's a loaded, that's a loaded field.
• 21:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it is.
• 21:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: Is this thing good enough to go through that?
• 21:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, man.
• 21:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: We'll see.
• 21:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was interesting the last week of the season.
• 21:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: They had to cancel a game with Eastern, which was supposed to be their senior night
• 21:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: winter storm firm that blew through and left all this snow that's finally disappearing, athletic director Ryan Fagan then coach Barkham picked up a game with Heritage Christian, which was an excellent, excellent game for O'Kill to get last minute to what had been there last.
• 22:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: last game of the regular season so they could do their senior night and it was a really good double header.
• 22:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Heritage Christian and Oak Hill girls to start and Oak Hill boys and lapel to cap off Saturday night and Heritage Christian ended up being no kill by a but Heritage Christian brought some linked and athleticism some different looked in Oak Hill really had seen anywhere
• 22:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, that's one of the things I commented to Coach Barcom was, I think that game, even though they lost a broke their 18 game winning streak that they had gone since they had lost to LePo, probably helps them prepare for the tournament more than any game they'd had since they played LePo.
• 22:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: They'd played McConquale early in the season and found a way to beat McConquale with a
• 23:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: really hadn't been tested a whole lot since early in the season and they needed something like that to kind of show them what they if they did get to deep in the tournament what what they may see and I think they'll probably see similar things I've heard a lot that
• 23:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: It would take a really, really good effort by Alexander and Bito Kill.
• 23:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's going to have to shoot the lights out for sure.
• 23:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: And they're going to have to find those shots to shoot the lights out.
• 23:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was one of the things that they kind of struggled with.
• 23:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's why I think chances are Oak Hills.
• 23:51
  [SPEAKER_03]: Scott, let's talk some boys basketball.
• 23:53
  [SPEAKER_03]: If you've gotten a chance to see Blackford.
• 23:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: I have not seen Blackford in person.
• 23:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: I saw a little bit of their game on the internet when they played Mrs. Sinoa a couple weeks ago.
• 24:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know a little bit about them from last year.
• 24:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: I went over and watched O'Kill and Blackford because that was the same scenario.
• 24:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Almost the same scenario.
• 24:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Actually last year, they were both unbeaten and CIC play when they got together.
• 24:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: And Blackford took O'Kill to the wood shed over there and offered city last year.
• 24:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure those, uh, the, the, the, the tonnacle brothers and the kids that were there for Oak Hill that night have remembered that well and I'm sure they do don't want to have them, uh, repeat of that memory.
• 24:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Connecurious, uh, Blackford, I know they've played, played some pretty good teams here of late, but, uh, you know, I'll take the one loss.
• 24:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: For the last fiber for the last six games or the next.
• 24:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it was a tough stretch.
• 24:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: All of the losses understandable.
• 24:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: The Frank and lost though is the headstretcher.
• 24:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: The lost by points and Frank didn't just really took advantage of.
• 25:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: Frank and strength.
• 25:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: against Blackford's weakness all night, which was.
• 25:11
  [SPEAKER_03]: So you're able to handle the ball as well, one through five, and Frank and we'll just kill you if you can't handle the ball at all.
• 25:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's Oakil's strength too.
• 25:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's exactly what I was thinking.
• 25:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oakil's there.
• 25:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: They are very good defensively.
• 25:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: They pressure, ball handlers really well.
• 25:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Play passing lanes really well.
• 25:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
• 25:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've heard Blackford's got some size, and that's probably O'Kills' Achilles' heel.
• 25:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: If they have one with the way that O'Kill compressor teams in the half court, they can turn teams over and push tempo.
• 25:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that's,
• 25:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's where they, you know, they make up for their lack of size.
• 25:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: And plus, you know, I, I was, Coach Rimberger was concerned about, uh, even, you know, back to preseason, they're with their lack of size.
• 26:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: How, how would they be able to rebound against teams that were bigger than them?
• 26:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: They've done a pretty good job of playing bigger teams even on the boards and a lot of that is because of that they are relentless attacking the glass and they're just they're scrappy and they get after it, man.
• 26:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're they're they're not going to be easy to deal with.
• 26:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're going to be a tough team to deal with, come tournament time too.
• 26:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm interested to see what tomorrow night looks like.
• 26:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't imagine he's he probably thought about that black for game a few times in last year and because Mr. Liggit over there blackford had a pretty nice night day in the black for something ball really well last year, but Oak Hill just
• 26:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Man, they were flat, they didn't play well and black for, man, they came out swinging and took it to them and didn't really let up.
• 27:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: I remember it was embarrassed to say that they were code champs since because the coach in Burger wasn't too proud to say it was a code champ because of the beating, they took against black for it over.
• 27:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: They would like to have that all to themselves
• 27:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: if they're Friday night, I guess if they can handle the Bruins, they can have the CIC title all to themselves this year.
• 27:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, we'll be interesting, I know.
• 27:40
  [SPEAKER_03]: It'll lose dealt with.
• 27:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: Which, of course, is very, very unlikely.
• 27:48
