  Speaker 1: Pretty impressive game out there. You had a lot of
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: different facets that you know, ups and rolls, but overall
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: your team performs what you were expecting.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: I thought we started out our defense was really really good,
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: and then we heading into halftime, we had a couple
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: of mishaps with just lack of communication on some screens
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: and gave up some threes.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: But and then we the.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Second half, they started to play a little bit more zone.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: We had to adjust to that and be able to
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: you know, knock in some threes. Asy took her a
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: wild to knock in some but you know, I thought
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: Sarah Strong was amazing in the first half, just did
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: a little bit of everything. I think Sarah Williams had
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: a really good game. KK played well. Everybody I think
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: that that played had had their moments of playing really well.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I was just gonna mention KK because you know, some
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: good numbers in the stats, but a lot of it
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: doesn't show up. She seemed to be a really good
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: floor general, whether it was offense or defense.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: She had a hard matchup against the chit chat which name, Yeah,
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: I love that name, and she's a really good player.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: She's young too, But I thought her matchup was key.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I thought we did a really good job early.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: On taking her out of the game, which took them
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: out of their offense.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: So you know their post players, I thought.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: I thought we handled We made some mistakes on the
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: post too, where we gave them up some easy layups,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: but overall, I thought we did a really good job.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: It's a great way to head into the holiday.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: And I think Blanca Keonis did a pretty good job too.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: She gave she got in some.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Foul trouble, but she offered some energy off the bench too. Yeah.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: You know, like I've said before, Blanca can play well
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: for us and for the other team in a matter
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: of seconds. So she made some really great plays.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: And then just again on the defensive end, some lack.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Of communication with the screens and giving up some shots
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: that we didn't really want.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: To give up. We thought giving up threes.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Giving up threes is always a lot worse than giving
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: up twos, and so we were okay with if we
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: had to make them work hard for twos, but giving
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: up so many wide open threes, we were concerned about that,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: but we cleaned it up. I thought did a little
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: bit better in the second half.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: You mentioned that this could be one of those games
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: so that you feel like, you know, a hiccup because
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of the travel, but then also heading into the holidays
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: from our perspective, the fan perspective, that it seemed that
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: they were focused. They didn't hit everything, but pretty happy
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: with what you saw, the energy and because it was
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: a pretty formidable opponent that in the end you did
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: am made him look not as good as they really are.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Well, I think overall this team has done a really
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: good job of when it's time to play, they play.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: The concern is probably more on the.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Coaches and because we had a good workout yesterday and
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: we didn't come over today.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: We did a walk through, but they seem.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: To be ready and I watched our warm up and
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I think it helps when you play a team as
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: good as Iowa, because I think you have to know,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: you know that you have to be at a certain
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: level in order to have success. So playing a good
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: team right before break it's great because but you can
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: also like last year, we lost a tough game and
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: a headed home for the holidays after a loss. At
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: least to syure we get to head home after a win, right.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: So that was a Christmas present to the coaches and is.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: That the thing?
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Yes, it was a very lovely Christmas present. Just you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: it's they've done. Our players have done a really good
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: job of when it's time to practice, we practice, and
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: it's time to have fun. We have fun, and it's
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: time to travel and to compartmentalize all of that. And
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: hopefully now for the next five days they'll get a
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: chance just to enjoy being with their families and all
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the fun stuff that the holiday brings, a.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Much deserved rest.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: That also means for the coaches, do you get to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: have so much deserved rest?
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we do.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Hopefully we'll be able to do the same thing, kind
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: of take some time off, but you know, we have
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: a game when we get back and all that craziness.
