  Speaker 1: All right, daily report, coach daily another win on the road.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: It all comes at all different shape, sizes and grit work.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: It seemed this one was a little bit more grittier
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: by your players.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think anytime you play in the
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: teams the second time around, it's going to be different.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: We played really well the first time we played them
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: and beat them significantly, so you know, obviously their response,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: so I had a home game was going to be
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: what it was. You know, they were very aggressive and
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: physical and our defense was okay. It was on the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: offensive end we weren't able to We were regarding them
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: in the half court, but we weren't getting a lot
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: of the steals and scoring opportunities that we normally get.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: And then our offense we missed a bunch of shots.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I don't think we screamed fortubly well, but we were
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: getting shots, but we weren't offensive rebounding.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: So that the combination, well, then the second have it seemed,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know, by designer, just the way it happened
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: that three plays in a row to Sarah Strong and
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: it was a backscreen, and that she just was able
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: to play one on one and score, and that seemed
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to get everybody stepping up, even on the defensive end,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: because of how that will met Um swing.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I thought Sarah missed some shots in
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: the first step that she doesn't normally miss, so getting
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: her the ball on the you know, I never think
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: she's gonna miss that many shots, and I would have
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: been surprised if she did the same in the second half.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it helps to be able to have. You know, today,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I thought we were relied heavily on Easy and Sarah,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: and that's not been the case for the majority of
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: the games that we've been in, so that was a
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: little bit different. They took the majority of our shots,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: which they normally do, but it was just a different
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: feel today.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it seemed to me, and maybe you can
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: speak on it. Easy Fudd pretty much defense was really outstanding.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I know she does that and maybe he doesn't get
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: credit for it, but her offense was there. Defense but
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: just an all around game. It seemed to be she
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: was the steady for everyone.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I thought defensively we did. We weren't
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: as smart as we've been. We made a lot of
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: bad decisions in the half court where they were getting
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: back door layups, and there was some confusion on the
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: court about how we were regarding their ball screens, and
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: so that was disappointing. But you know, I think we've
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: come to have a certain level of expectation for all
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: of our players, but certainly Asy and you know her
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: what she gives us on offense, and you know she's
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: she's just really improved in every area, so on the
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: defensive end, and so it's not surprising when she does
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: that for us.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Talked about the connection, i'mould say, seems like a lot
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: of family and friends in this area, know thinking Connecticut
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: East coast, but you have some not just you know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Indiana and the Wisconsin connections, and so fun to have
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: for the players to have a homecoming.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Well it's nice, you know for KK and Ali because
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: they're from Wisconsin. I think Asy's family comes to every game,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: so that's like not unusual. So and I think we
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: have an opportunity to have the people in this area
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: that are fans of our program, not just of the
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: players from their hometown, give them a chance to you know,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: one of them. I think it was college students that
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: we're asking Gino to be their valentine. So we need
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: to do an investigation on that, but no, it's just
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: you know, nice to be to get to play in
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: different areas of the country.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's nice on that one. So overall, the biggest
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: it's thug Ray comes, it's flying fast, and next thing
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you know, you're down to a few games left on there.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: And is it tough to keep your team focused on
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: just regular season and not think of that big East
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Tournament or NCAA that's looming.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Well, hopefully today's a reminder that you have to play
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: a certain way in order to have the results that
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: you really want, and that when you play teams the
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: second time, especially the better teams in our conference, like Wednesday,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: will be very similar to this. You know, we beat
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: them handedly at Campbell, and you know they're prideful. Know
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the competitors are going to compete and they're going to
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: do some things, probably belief similar to Marquette on both ends,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: to try to make it a little more difficult for us.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: So we've got some work to do on Monday and Tuesday.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, Happy Valentine's Day, Take care back to you, Bob.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Thanks coach,
