  Speaker 1: You know, there are games where, you know, fourth quarters
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: sometimes don't go great, but start to finish. Your kids
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: played really well tonight. Fifty four points in the second half.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: That's was impressive against Villanova tonight, you know.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: And I think what might be more impressive is forcing
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: twenty six turnovers because they're a team that takes pride
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: in fact they don't turn the ball over. And we
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: were able to create a lot of opportunities with our
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: pressure and making some good, really good defensive plays. So
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, winning the fourth quarter, I thought
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: we you know, Carol, I thought the guys that went
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, Carol did a great job on
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: the boards. We just did a lot of really good things.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: That's what we expect when when we put our subs in.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: How about speaking about the amount of layups you had,
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: just whether it's off the dribble or by design in
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: the offense, pretty impressive.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what, I think we try to take
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: advantage of what we think is our advantage in that
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: particular situation. And I thought that we had opportunities, and
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I thought we could take the off the dribble. You know,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: in the past, they've had trouble guarding ball screens, so
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: we tried to put them in a lot of ball screens,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: and you know, it's kind of like a chess match
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: because you saw what they were trying to do with
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: They weren't really guarding Sarah Williams outside. We were trying
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: not to guard twenty five, the kid Carter. So we're,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: you know, you're playing a little chess match and trying
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: to take advantage of what the other team was giving us.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Boy, the chemistry with KK and Sarah was there tonight.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: KK matched a career high with seven assists, but that
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: lob to Sarah was available pretty much all night.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't want to say anything, but I could
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: probably make that pass to Sarah. I think I was
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: more impressed with kk's defense today. I mean, I thought
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: she just did a really really good job on Basco.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I thought we frustrated her. I thought we made it very,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: very difficult. She finished with eight, she only had eight
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: in the first half. She was three for thirteen from
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the floor, so I thought, you know, and I do
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: think that her ploor game from the offensive end was
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: also you know strong. I thought no pun intended with aarristrong,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: But I just was really impressed with her defense. I
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: think she's getting better at that. Not that she was.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: She's always been considered a good defender, but I think
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: now she's really defending with a purpose and understanding that
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: you don't get unless you're a junior. You know, it
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: takes time, it takes experience, and I think she's playing
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: as you would expect a junior to play.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: He traveled, he came back home to gamble. Was nice
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: to I'm sure for the players to be able to
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: play in front of the crowd, and then you get
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: to recognize the twenty fifteen sixteen which a lot of
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: them mentioned that they grew up watching them play how
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: to be neat for everyone?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Wait, what did they say?
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: I said they were talking about, Oh I used to
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: watch Mariah Jefferson or they oh oh yeah that made
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: me they grew up with them.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well the players were not happy. Like Colleena, Miss
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Kata Lewis said something about it. She's like, what are
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: they talking about? They were little girls? I said, well
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: they were so. But it's always great for us to
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: have our former players come back, especially teams that did
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: and accomplish the things that these two teams did and
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: We'll never see teams like that again. We'll never see
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: a team dominate the nca tournament like we did. And
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: it's just nice to still have them come back and
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: have them have good relationships with each other and look
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: forward to seeing each other. And I just think I
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: need to I need to get on. I'm gonna have
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: my own podcast at some point so I could tell
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: the truth of all the stories that I hear that
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: they make up when they're on other podcasts, because none
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: of it is true. And I really I was telling
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Fee and Lou that today and they're like, I should
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: have I forget redemption was one suggestion, and I forget
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the final say or some other one. But I old
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: because a lot of it was not Like a lot
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: of it was not true or is not true when
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I hear it. So but you know what, people together,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: if the fans enjoy it, they just have to understand
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: everything that's told on those podcasts are embellished and totally untrue.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: You know, I raved about Kolina's career at Yukon, not
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: only from a three point standpoint, but by the time
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: she was done a great all around player. Keia Stokes
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: has really carved out a nice career for her in
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the WNBA.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Kia. You know, you have to appreciate Kia. She's
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: been a winner every place she's been. She was a
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: winner in high school. She came here and she was
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: a winner and you know, just did her job. You know,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: it wasn't fancy she carved out. You know, she was
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: always a rebounder and a shop blocker. But every time
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: we needed her to do anything more than that, she
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: was willing and able. I remember at Duke, Steph Dolson
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: got in foul trouble and Kiya came in and did
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: a great job for us. So it was more she
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: just never you know, she was happy in what she
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: was doing. And you know, sometimes you have to let
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: kids do that and enjoy and be good and be
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the best at those things. And that's what Kia has done.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: And I'm happy that she's had so much success in
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: how I'm glad that people in the w n b A,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: in the in Vegas appreciate everything she does the way
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: we did here.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, Stewie, Steph and Stokes what a threesome
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: blocking shots.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, so that's why when people talk about teams,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know You're never going to have a collection
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: of players like we had in those in that set
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: of four. You're just not going to And you know,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I love Paige and I love our team last year,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: but they would get killed by that team. It would
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: not even be it wouldn't even be close. So then
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: and yeah, I don't think it even be close.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: No, that was. And he had Gabby and Fee and
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Louke coming off the bench in sixteens. Wow, I mean
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: we can go on forever. Yeah, c thank you, and uh,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: we'll see.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Wait, I thought of you. Did you see what did
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I tell you before in the pregame about ashen or
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: pull up? I think it's automatic and it was automatic?
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Did you it it was automatic?
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: It's automatic? I told you you got to listen to me.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, I'm glad. The one thing that I am very
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: appreciative about this team is that you guys still value
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the mid range. Genos is two points, it's two points.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Very few teams do the mid range as well as
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: we do.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: See and I think it's still automatic too, like Page
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: was automatic, Brio Hartley. I can name SUPERD. I can
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: name all the automatic pull ups that.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Countless.
