Latest / Coaches Corner / The Dailey Recap - Jackson State
Transcript
- 0:00All right, we are joined court side by associate coach Chris Daily as you
- 0:03were hearing a press conference with GNL Page Beckers, and Ashland Shade. I
- 0:07love the T shirt. That's tremendous. We all have one on. We
- 0:12went through a bunch of pictures and we found our favorite. So from all
- 0:17this was like five years ago at a department Christmas party. Okay, yeah,
- 0:21I'm not even gonna describe it out of here. I'm speechless on that
- 0:24one. Well, a good opening start. First quarter was really good.
- 0:28You got contributions from a lot of people, and boy, Ashland was tremendous
- 0:31from a scoring aspect. In the third quarter. Yeah, you know,
- 0:34she started out a little nervous. I think both she and KK and I
- 0:38just heard her talking and saying, how you think about it? For so
- 0:41long as a young player, to be in it, it's kind of surreal.
- 0:44So I think she played like that for the first couple of minutes so
- 0:47she could catch her breath, and we had great ball movement on those shots.
- 0:50So I think all that led to it, and she got her shots.
- 0:53Rating the flow of our offense right, and it started at least in
- 0:56the third quarter with a couple of second chance oops, Nika got a tip,
- 1:00a league gets a rebound. But boy, Page and I love this
- 1:03action has really learned to move well without the basketball. The second off she
- 1:06scored in the third was Page's back door passed from the following in and it
- 1:10just I was really impressed with the way that action moved without the basketball.
- 1:12Usually people are getting that back door on her, so this this is a
- 1:15switch that she got it on them. But no, she You know,
- 1:19I feel like in this time, we just have to do what we do
- 1:22well, and then you know, that's gotta be good enough, and we're
- 1:26I think our defense was really good, and then our offense, as I
- 1:29said, the ball movement was just terrific. Twenty three assists on thirty four
- 1:34field goals, got rebound the forty five thirty six. I would imagine that
- 1:37was a big point of contention coming and given their size and aggressive this well,
- 1:41you know in any game, but certainly when you're in a one and
- 1:44done situation the rebounding, you know, you want to win the battle of
- 1:47the board. You want to be able to get to the free throw line
- 1:49more than the other team, and you want to in our case, we
- 1:52want to knock in some threes, and they actually the one kid knocked in
- 1:56more threes and cha averages. I think they averaged like maybe four a game.
- 2:00But it's funny. Their leading scorer came up the bench and didn't didn't
- 2:04get her average. And then you know, a number one is the one
- 2:07that I thought, you know, that shot she made at the end of
- 2:08the half, or she played well, But those three areas I thought,
- 2:14you know, I don't know if we finished beating them from the freeth line,
- 2:16we were down three. I think they had eleven in the first half.
- 2:19We had eight. I don't know how many we finished with, but
- 2:23nine of ten for the line to that we got Paige miss because she's a
- 2:25fifty percent free throw shooter. In that she is well in the second half,
- 2:30she was okay, a nice right now, in a good spot for
- 2:35the perimeter. Of last four games, eleven seven, eleven nine today you
- 2:38get usually eight eight or more. That's pretty good. That's that's usually good.
- 2:43Number four. You think, yeah, as long as they're good,
- 2:44you know, I think any number is a good number. If we're getting
- 2:46good looks and we're moving the ball, and when we change sides of the
- 2:49form we moved the ball. We tend to get those open looks because you
- 2:53can't guard everybody and they have to make decisions. So when we do that,
- 2:57I think we're much more effective on the offensive. Enda first sell out
- 3:00in this place for a first round game in twenty years and they were electric
- 3:04today. Yeah, it was great. You could tell just so we saw
- 3:08kids lined up in the rain. I would never do that, and I
- 3:10really appreciate the students I do. It was just awesome, and it's just
- 3:15great when you have that energy, certainly with the students, but then with
- 3:17all from the second the game started, in the intros, it was so
- 3:21when our kids ran out, you could tell there was a different feel.
- 3:23Yeah, there was, and you'll need that. On Monday night, you
- 3:25got one of these two teams, one of these two teams your scout,
- 3:28Yes, Arizona is mine, Chamail has Syracuse. So were you probably your
- 3:31Monday? Then? Are you probably here on Thursday? No? I didn't.
- 3:36I watched it from home. I didn't come in all right. I
- 3:38watched up heared I was going to see it live today. Now, is
- 3:40Arizona basically in the same position you cut in from a body's well, I
- 3:46think bodies, but not all injury related. Okay, so but yeah,
- 3:51I think they play seven kids. I think they have eight on their team,
- 3:53but they play seven. Okay, I'm speechless with that T shirt,
- 3:58I got nothing on. That's pretty wild. We had a good celebration for
- 4:03his birthday, so that's good. We gave me something to talk about,
- 4:06all right. Yeah, I bet your US speeches when he saw that too,
- 4:09he was a lot of good pictures. Yeah. Good, Thanks Christmas.
