  Speaker 1: Hi, everyone, and welcome to a very rare Friday afternoon
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: edition of the Women's Basketball Coaches Show. Bob Joyce and
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Gino Oriamo with you right now. Later Rebecca Lobo will
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: join us in the last two segments. And it's rare,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: you know, we do a coaches show the day after
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: a game, and this one was just a fabulous atmosphere
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: in Knoxville, Yukon, Tennessee. It kind of felt like the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: old days with the intensity of the crowd. The student
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: section was phenomenal, and unfortunately the end result was a
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: four point loss. I mean, we could start so many
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: places in this game, both offensively and defensively. Where were
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: you most disappointed in the outcome of last night's game?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I would say probably the the opportunities that we had
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: to separate ourselves. You know, I think we got up
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: five or six, maybe even seven one time, I'm not
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: even sure, but you know, we had some opportunities, and uh,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: some of the some of the shots that we missed
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: that we normally make, some of the mistakes that we made.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: So I would say that plus that like minute and
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: a half with those couple of possessions where they got
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of momentum in the third quarter off a
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: couple of steals. Those were probably the most glaring moments
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: that that stood out, you know, and our inability to
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: get a couple of stops when we really needed. Just
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: just a lot of little things added all up, you know,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: and you know, it's a two point game with less
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: than a minute ago. I think it was whatever it was,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: and and yet we still put ourselves in a position
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: to win. And you know, that's kind of like the
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: same thing would happen in the USC game, you know,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: where we put ourselves in position to win, but we
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: can't make a winning play when we have to make it.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: But you know, there were some some really great bright spots.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: You know, I thought KK was fantastic. I thought Ash
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: was great, you know, young guys, you know, Sarah was
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: you know, I think she had to play too many minutes,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: which I didn't like. So there's a lot of great
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: things going forward that came out of that. But at
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: the end of the day, you know, I mean, you know,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: exceptionally disappointed that you can't get a win, you know,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: and they made some big threes when they had to
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: make them, you know, So yeah, that's about it.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I think the glaring thing, and you touched upon it early.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I mean nineteen of thirty five the total number of
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: layups you took advantage. You broke the press, well except
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: for that short little spurt that Tennessee had in the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: third to flip the game. But what is it like
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: six inside the cylinder that were uncontested. I mean normally
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: those go in, but for whatever reason they didn't. And
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: those layups, I mean, you make what half of the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: attempts that you missed, you win the game? In theory?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: How many laps do we have the courting of.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: The staff broadcast? Nineteen of thirty five was the number,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and I think at least six or seven of them
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: were uncontested.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And you know you're playing a good
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: team on the road. That just that just can't that
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: just can't happen. You know, that just can't happen. You know,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: you've got to you know, we're talking labs here. If
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: somebody who said you're going nineteen for thirty five from
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the free throw line, I would say you deserve to lose,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: you know, So you go nineteen for thirty five from lap,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: you definitely deserve to lose. So it's astonishing that given
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: that stat you know, we scored seventy six points and
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: it's a two point game.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we have to get to the bottom
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: of that. Obviously. Is that immaturity, it just you know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: young and immature. Is it lack of concentration, Is it
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: getting caught up in the moment or what you know?
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: But but but obviously that's that's kind of a new
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: thing too. I mean the last three or four years,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: you know, you look back to all those years we'd
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: have miss labs. You know, I used to laugh about
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: how many you know, women's basketball teams miss labs and
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: that wasn't us. And now you know, probably since Visa
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: and Lou graduated, we missed. We miss a lot of laughs.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: We've become like every other team and it kind of stinks,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: and I hope I can get to the bottom of it.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: But it just makes absolutely no sense that you're a
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: college player and you can't make a lab. I mean,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: that just doesn't you know, you you you shouldn't be
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: playing college basketball if you can't make labs.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Right, All right, let's get a couple of positives before
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: we take our first break. Clearly came k Arnold had
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: a phenomenal game. You hope she builds off of that.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: But you mentioned she was also probably the most competitive
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: player on the team out on the floor. As good
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: as that sounds, does that sound kind of disconcerting to
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the rest of the guys?
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it should. You know it should. You know,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: we we look at our team and we go, you know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: generally speaking, you know, to win these games, you need
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Sarah Page and Easy to have their normal you know,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: nineteen seventeen, sixteen eighteen, you know, the three of them,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: and you you get out of there and then k
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: u kk whatever she does, and then you go, Okay,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: we get out of there with with an somewhat comfortable win. Well,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: when only one out of the three has somewhat kind
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: of sort of normal game, Uh, that's not that's not
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the that's not the formula for winning. So I thought
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: KK was tremendous and I thought she was exactly what
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I want her to be. Uh, there's some things we
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: got to clean up that she's aware of. But all
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: in all, I thought, yeah, I thought she was the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: best player on our team for sure.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: And I think you can't say enough about what Aubrey
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: did Now, obviously she's had a good track record against Tennessee.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: This style fits your game, but clearly her most productive
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: game since coming back.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, you know, I didn't know what to expect.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: You know, there's there's a lot that you have to
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: get back to when you haven't played in a long time,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: and so I was hoping that with each passing game,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: you know, we'll get a little bit better, a little
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: bit more productive. So let's hope that you know, continues
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: to go in that direction, you know, starting Saturday.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: All right, welcome back with more of Gino on the
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Wells Fargo you kind of women's basketball coaches show. In
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a moment here on Learfield,
