• 1:15
  Speaker 1: twenty five is out. A and M still didn't make it,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: but hey, I wouldn't worry about that. It's not important
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: right now. It'll be more important in March. It's not
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: important now. Six of the first sixteen or from the
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Big twelve, five of the top twelve are from the
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Big ten, three of the top eighteen or the ACC
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and the SEC right now is down to four teams
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: between fifteen and twenty five. Now, I understand that A
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: and M jumped in in the coaches were they at.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Others receiving votes there? Treyad of.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: So they're at twenty six basically, yeah, so.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: A and M's right there.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: They're twenty five at the coaches poll. I know all
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: of the releases now will use the coaches poll. I
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: don't like the coaches poll. I don't trust the coach's poll.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: The coaches poll mostly is done by sids and not coaches.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: There are very few coaches that take this stuff seriously.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: They don't watch enough basketball. They only watch the teams
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: they're about to play. So I don't like the coaches poll.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter. Like I said, Arizona's still one, unanimously. Michigan
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Yukon Duke Illinois, Gonzaga, Iowa State, Houston, Nebraska, Michigan State, Kansas, Purdue,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech, North Carolina ven Built is the highest rated
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: SEC team at fifteen, then BYU Florida, which looked like
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: a number one team yesterday. By the way, we are
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: gonna hear from Florida coach Todd Golden coming up. They
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: just destroyed Alabama yesterday. Virginia, Saint Louis Clemson, Arkansas, Saint John's,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Miami of Ohio. They're unbeaten. Only Miami and Arizona are unbeaten.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Louisville and Tennessee coming in at twenty five tonight. North
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Carolina hosting Syracuse and ooh, this is a good big
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Monday game Kansas and Texas Tech. I don't know if
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the Kansas kid's going to play or not. I have
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: a friend that's a big KU person. I texted him
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: during the game when he's setting out the second half.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I said, look, this guy's a snowflake. He is so
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: worried about getting.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Hurt before going to the NBA.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: He's great, he's a great player when he's on the court.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Kansas is a whole different team, but I wouldn't trust
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: him I don't trust him now. I sure wouldn't trust
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: him in March. Don't trust him. Texas Tech in Lubbock.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I like teching this game. I tell you what, Texas Tech,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: in my mind, is a Final four caliber team. There
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I just mentioned. I'm gonna tell you Arizona. I'm gonna
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: name teams that I think are Final four caliber teams. Okay, Arizona, Michigan, Yukon, Duke, Illinois,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Iowa State, Houston, Michigan State, Texas Tech. In my mind,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: those teams are four caliber. And I'm about ready to
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: put Florida in that mix. Yesterday that was a Final
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: four caliber effort by Florida. I don't they do that
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: every game?
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Probably not?
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Speaking of which, Alex Condon co SEC Player of the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Week with our men. Rashawn Ag. Rashawn Ag right now
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: is an All SEC performer and now we talk about
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: this every year. The SEC is and football conference, so
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: they always put eight or nine guys on their SEC
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: first team. They haven't They don't understand only five people
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: played a time in basketball. The SEC still doesn't get
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: that because there's still a football conference. So they put
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: eight or nine guys on their first team.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: It doesn't work that way.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Rashawan ag is the first team First five All SEC
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: player right now. There's no doubt about that. I mean,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: he went for eighteen and fifteen Saturday, and if that
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: wasn't enough, he ended out seven assists. He almost had
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: a triple double. I mean, that doesn't happen. And he's
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: a post guy. He is just killing it. And Tennessee
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: forward Nate a Mien Freshman of the Week average twenty
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and a half points, seven boards to assist. They beat Auburn,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: they beat Georgia. Weren't that good against Auburn? Okay, guess
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: who is back?
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Mark?
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Turgen Sessena's going to be He's not listing right now,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: but Sessen's going to be here next hour. We're going
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: to play a drinking game every time, he says Turjon.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I've got Gator eight here with me, So Trey, what
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: do you have water? Okay, We're gonna play a drinking
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: game every time, Sessa says Turjhon, Right, remind me all right.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: He's agreed to a five year contract to become the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: new head coach at Kansas City. I bet you didn't
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: even know Kansas City had a basketball team. That's probably
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: why John is there Jacksonville State in Wichita State. He
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: was one hundred and fifty three and fifteen. Came to
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Texas A and M. He was good here. He just
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: didn't like it here. From the first day. He never
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: liked it. He didn't like you, He didn't like anybody
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: at Texas A and M. Went to Maryland and.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: I just got a text from Rusty Berson.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: He's in on the drinking game, by the way, and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: he's bringing.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: More than Gator eighty said.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: So this is an interesting story. Men's basketball coach at
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Tuskegee University was taken off the court in handcuffs Saturday.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Videos posted by HBCU Game Day show Taylor confronting a
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: security officers officer as players from Tuskegee and Morehouse College
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: exchange handshakes after the game. After a brief exchange, the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: officer placed Taylor in handcuffs and let him off the court.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Taylor and Tuskegee athletic director Reginald Ruffin both stated Taylor
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: asked the security officer to help remove multiple more House
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: football players from the handshake line. Taylor said in a
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: statement the football players were yelling obscenities, while Ruffin added
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the football players were creating quote a security breach, so
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: naturally they arrest the opposing coach. Michigan coach Dusty May
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: and Michigan speaking of fighting it out, Dusty May and
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Tom Izel are accusing each other of playing dirty. During
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the wolverines eighty three seventy one win Friday night. I
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: watched that game. Okay, two really good teams, really good teams,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: final four worthy teams. During one sequence, Michigan State guard
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Jeremy Fears made contact with Yaxel Lidenborg appeared to trip
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the Michigan star. May said it was an intentional appeared.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: He said, it wasn't an illusion. I think there were
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: several players that are very dangerous. I'm incredibly proud of
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: our guys for the response that they had to some
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: of those situations. Proud of their self control, their restrength,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: their impulse control. When he was made aware of May's comments,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: is Or pushed back, said the Wolverines had gotten away
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: with their own questionable acts. Look, first of all, it's.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: A big ten.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I like the officiating of big ten. I don't like
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the big ten. I've said that before. There's a bunch
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: of huge, slow, unathletic guys that pound each other. Okay,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: it's not really basketball to me. There's a little skill
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: woven in. Okay, there's enough skill wound end that these
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: guys are dangerous. Okay, but there's a lot of big guys.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: If if you played that game Friday night with SEC officials,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: they'd still be playing. There would be like four hundred
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: fouls called. Because SEC officials don't know the game. They
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: don't know how to referee the game. They don't know
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: how to deal with athletic people who jump, and every
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: time somebody breeds on somebody, they blow a whistle. And
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: even when they think they're going to breed on somebody,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: they blow a whistle. And it's hard to watch. They
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: screw up the game badly. Said it before, Say it again.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know why a league that prides itself in
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: trying to be the best conference in major collegiate sports
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: can't get officials worthy of their game in either basketball
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: or football. But they cannot. I don't know what it's hard.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: It's hard.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I watch Big twelve basketball, I watch ACC basketball, I
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: watch Big ten basketball.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: They don't have these issues.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying there aren't bad calls. There's always bad calls. Right,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: guys are going to screw up, They're going to make mistakes.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I'm just talking about consistency. I mean, you put SEC
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: officials in that Michigan Michigan State game. I promise that
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: game would still be going on. And who's old enough
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to remember the secret newsletter under coach friend with Mike McKenzie.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Ask somebody older if you don't know what I'm talking about.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Brent Swerneman uncovered that. If I'm not mistaken, and I
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: seldom in well. Today A and M announced the launch
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: of the Aggie Football Club, an exclusive new membership program.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: The differences they're doing it publicly, you're paying for access, okay,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: plain and simple. I don't know how this is different,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: except that the newsletter quote unquote was quote secret and
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: it made people. Oh there you go. You pulled it
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: right up. See you just google A and M newsletter.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: It just comes right.

  Speaker 1: Yeah? Those were the days two thousand and seven.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: Is that right?
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Nineteen years ago? That is not possible. Ah, the Coach
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: fran days. Ah, the Mike McKenzie days. But I guess
• 13:29

  Speaker 6: is all right, you need a basket?
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: Who's your go to guy?
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to think who would it be?
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: Would it be Pop?
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Would it be Ag?
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: I mean, if you need somebody to take that last.
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: Shot, it might be Dominga Is I think in the
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: last Striffin lately to me like you start the offense
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: through AG. In a half court set, you start the
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: offense through AG and depending on what the defense does.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Techas Live brought to you by David Gardner's Jewelers hang

  Speaker 1: for being with us here on the program. Tomorrow we
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: will preview the Wednesday game at Alabama with the Aggie
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: basketball team. Yeah. I don't know why A and M
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: is unranked. I was, you know, I was thinking about
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: their losses. Oklahoma State's a bad loss. Central Florida is
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: not a very very bad loss at all. Who'd they
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: just beat Texas Tech? They just knocked off Texas Tech
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: this weekend? You see, Yeah, they're pretty good. Right, they
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: lost SMU. SMU is a real nice team, and they
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: lost to Tennessee at Tennessee.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Right, What am I missing?
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I'm missing one more? Yeah, there's four. I'm missing one more.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. But I guarantee some of these other
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: top twenty five teams. Yeah, house that is in you
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: you see Oklahoma State.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: That's the fourtant I mean three of them, three of
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: them aren't. They're they're okay losses. There's one bad loss.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: That's Oklahoma State, and by their own admission, Bucky mess
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: setting mess that up. They've been traveling, you know for weeks.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: They had no legs when they went in there. He
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: had worked them too hard. Uh, it was early in
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: the year and they had nothing. I mean, you're you're
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: you're doing a game like that right especially in November December.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Sometimes those things happen in February and March too. Louisville
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: has six losses, Tennessee has six losses, Arkansas has six losses.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Florida has six losses. Now, I know Florida and Arkansas
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: they've played helaicious schedules, so I get that part. But
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: come on, let's see. There are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Eleven of the top twenty five teams have four or
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: more losses right now, okay, and I hadn't gone through
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: all of them to see what are good and what
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: are bad. Again, a lot of these teams have played
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: really really hard schedules. I get that part of it,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: but come on, they're leading the league. They're six and one.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: They should be in the top twenty five. They will
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: be in the top twenty five eventually, and again, I'm
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: not that concerned about it, all right. I like to
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: hear the opposing coaches. You don't get to hear that
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: very often. You just hear A and M coaches, And
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: that's fine. We're gonna play Bucky in a minute. But
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I don't want you to listen to Mike White. After
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the Aggies came in and beat down Georgia on Saturday.
• 18:06
  Speaker 9: So think our fans had fought the elements and the
• 18:09
  Speaker 9: cold and snow, and it was it was a really
• 18:12
  Speaker 9: surprising atmosphere. I did not anticipate that many people. I
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: didn't anticipate it being that loud, and our our fans
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: were great. We got off to an awful start, the
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: worst start we've.
• 18:20
  Speaker 10: Gotten off to.
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: In a long long time. I don't remember being down
• 18:27
  Speaker 9: that much that early in a game, and our fans
• 18:31
  Speaker 9: helped us had our chances to cut into it further
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: both late first half mid second half. Texas sanem was better.
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: I mean, that's why they're that's why they're winning the league.
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: They're really really connected, they're tough, they spread you out
• 18:48
  Speaker 9: with a bunch of shooters. I thought we did a
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: good job against a high level pressure team. You know,
• 18:54
  Speaker 9: It's impressive how they how they jammed the basketball one
• 18:57
  Speaker 9: through five and can turn you and and get to
• 19:00
  Speaker 9: your legs. And our guys did a good job with
• 19:02
  Speaker 9: some of those things. But overall, again our attention to detail,
• 19:05
  Speaker 9: with defensive rebounding, with shot selection, it just wasn't very good.
• 19:11
  Speaker 10: I mean, we go seven to twenty.
• 19:12
  Speaker 9: Eight from three and I'd like maybe about half of
• 19:17
  Speaker 9: those back.
• 19:17
  Speaker 10: Honestly, it's in our guys defense.
• 19:21
  Speaker 9: When you're playing from a large deficit, you know, sometimes
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: emotions can get the best of you with with shot selection,
• 19:30
  Speaker 9: with offensive decisions and some of those possessions. But just
• 19:35
  Speaker 9: shot a poor percentage and trying to come back and
• 19:42
  Speaker 9: played with a ton of energy, forced fourteen turnovers.
• 19:45
  Speaker 10: But as we're.
• 19:46
  Speaker 9: Trying to overcome some of those shots there mid to
• 19:50
  Speaker 9: late second half on the other end were.
• 19:53
  Speaker 10: We got beat back door a couple of times. We
• 19:55
  Speaker 10: had a couple.
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: Poor wallups that led to layups, a couple uh poor fires.
• 20:01
  Speaker 10: That led to one led led to an one. It
• 20:03
  Speaker 10: was a one on two.
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: I mean, m just our physicality on the interior has
• 20:07
  Speaker 9: got to continue to improve.
• 20:09
  Speaker 10: I've never uh L been more excited about uh A
• 20:12
  Speaker 10: bye week.
• 20:13
  Speaker 9: Uh to get back to practice tomorrow.
• 20:20
  Speaker 11: You might do it.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: I think that that's you too.
• 20:23
  Speaker 10: That's where football anounced you.
• 20:24
  Speaker 11: But I guess it was a couple of seasons ago.
• 20:26
  Speaker 9: Kirby talked about, uh, mental bandwidth and you you guys
• 20:29
  Speaker 9: have just gone through a bit of.
• 20:30
  Speaker 10: A ringer with Yeah, Texas Tennessee now a first place
• 20:34
  Speaker 10: A and N team.
• 20:34
  Speaker 12: Is is there something to it as far as maybe
• 20:36
  Speaker 12: where your guys are at mentally?
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: I know you just said.
• 20:38
  Speaker 9: Yeah, mean that we evolved, Yeah, I C I couldn't agree.
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: Uh more, Mike, we're we're not in the same place mentally.
• 20:45
  Speaker 10: Uh that we were had some.
• 20:49
  Speaker 9: You know, just had some poor decisions offensively and defensively,
• 20:51
  Speaker 9: and just again I d we weren't as connected and
• 20:54
  Speaker 9: I I don't mean it to to to oversimplify it, uh,
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: but it's it's such a big part of our game
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: at this level, especially in the SEC. A and M's
• 21:08
  Speaker 9: about as connected as any team that we've played, probably
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: more so the most connected team we've played. And they'll
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: continue to be. I'd be surprised if they didn't continue
• 21:20
  Speaker 9: to have success with you know, they're older, they're skilled.
• 21:25
  Speaker 9: We talked about it, they're tough, they take the right shots,
• 21:29
  Speaker 9: they pass it well. I mean, ag had seven assists,
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: fifteen rebounds, and we you know, we've shown signs of
• 21:39
  Speaker 9: better decisions at times, but at times, excuse me, but
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: the grind of the sec these last few games, our
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: schedule has been ramped up. Of course, we've had chances.
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: We lost a couple of really close ones.
• 21:53
  Speaker 10: But our guys are resilient. We've got to clean up details.
• 21:56
  Speaker 9: But our guys, they'll be ready to work this This
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: team really works, and we'll accept messages tomorrow.
• 22:03
  Speaker 10: We'll learn from film. We'll have a good practice.
• 22:10
  Speaker 13: Dylan and Blue were just saying they felt like there
• 22:11
  Speaker 13: was a lack of urgency.
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: How would you evaluate that aspect?
• 22:14
  Speaker 10: I couldn't agree more.
• 22:15
  Speaker 9: I mean, from the opening tip, I don't know how
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: you have a lack of urgency when you put up
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: on the whiteboard six and one first place. I got
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: a chance, despite how the last game went, had our chances,
• 22:30
  Speaker 9: lost a tough one, and now you got the first
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: place team in the league. And we're had two good
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: practices too, two good practices. But sometimes that happens where
• 22:42
  Speaker 9: you know, a really good team just gets the best
• 22:44
  Speaker 9: of you early, and you know, I could sit here
• 22:47
  Speaker 9: and talk about all the things we didn't do really
• 22:48
  Speaker 9: well text SA A and aam's good.
• 22:50
  Speaker 10: They're good.
• 22:51
  Speaker 9: And they missed a couple of those early, and we
• 22:53
  Speaker 9: made a couple of those layups and a couple of
• 22:55
  Speaker 9: the open threes early instead of it being I don't
• 22:57
  Speaker 9: know what the square was, twenty two to two or
• 22:58
  Speaker 9: something at one point is twenty and he could have
• 23:01
  Speaker 9: easily been ten at that point, and maybe you don't
• 23:04
  Speaker 9: have as.
• 23:04
  Speaker 10: Big a hole to crawl out of.
• 23:06
  Speaker 9: But the way they started the game is really the
• 23:09
  Speaker 9: story of the game. I mean, credit them, Bucky and
• 23:13
  Speaker 9: staff doing a great job, and we play some similar styles.
• 23:17
  Speaker 9: You know, respect the way they play, and they were
• 23:20
  Speaker 9: really good today.
• 23:25
  Speaker 10: You're like, just stop those minutes. Did they chopped down? Yeah?
• 23:29
  Speaker 9: Tough matchup for him and Justin Apsen defensively when they
• 23:32
  Speaker 9: with their ability to stretch you with five guys and Age's.
• 23:37
  Speaker 10: He hasn't made a lot of threes this year.
• 23:39
  Speaker 9: He makes two today but spaces you with his ability
• 23:45
  Speaker 9: to pass it and drive it. You're really tough matchup
• 23:49
  Speaker 9: for our conventional fives. And then they you know, they
• 23:52
  Speaker 9: bringing back up fives. One in particular was was Clements
• 23:57
  Speaker 9: coming into this game, who's coming off the game where
• 23:59
  Speaker 9: he made sevens.
• 24:01
  Speaker 10: As a backup five. So, uh, we.
• 24:05
  Speaker 9: Were intentional about wanting to play Dylan James and in
• 24:11
  Speaker 9: Kareem Stag some minutes at the five. We thought it
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: would help us defensively. In Samto obviously had his struggles
• 24:18
  Speaker 9: with with finishing at the rim, and so we rode
• 24:23
  Speaker 9: the line up. We rode late game in again we're
• 24:25
  Speaker 9: playing from behind, so some of those decisions weren't maybe
• 24:30
  Speaker 9: as as conventional as some of the others in other games.
• 24:35
  Speaker 14: What about a Dash and Jordan on zoom?
• 24:39
  Speaker 15: So we you talk about, you know, kind of losing.
• 24:42
  Speaker 9: The right mindset you know right now?
• 24:44
  Speaker 16: Is that something is couldn't say I get to the win,
• 24:48
  Speaker 16: can cure of this?
• 24:48
  Speaker 17: Something else to happen between now when y'all play the
• 24:51
  Speaker 17: next game and kind of turn that aspect.
• 24:53
  Speaker 10: Around, you know, I think that that.
• 24:58
  Speaker 9: A lot of the the answers I and give you
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: we've already been through and you guys cover us closely,
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: and all of you, I'm sure do a great job.
• 25:08
  Speaker 9: But our details with this team, our level of focus
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: at times have have hurt us, you know, especially with
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: defensive rebounding coming in this game where three twenty eight
• 25:17
  Speaker 9: in the country in defensive rebounding, and we do all
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: kinds of rebounding drills and block out drills and emphasize
• 25:21
  Speaker 9: it and watch clips on it, but the buy into
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: those details. I think we got off to such a
• 25:27
  Speaker 9: good start offensively this year and scoring so many points,
• 25:30
  Speaker 9: and some of these guys received some accolades, you know,
• 25:35
  Speaker 9: and there's some hype around the way we're scoring it.
• 25:38
  Speaker 9: Maybe at this point, after hitting this adversity, you have
• 25:40
  Speaker 9: a week to really hone in on some of those details,
• 25:44
  Speaker 9: but even offensive details, and we have to understand we've
• 25:47
  Speaker 9: got to do it together. We've got some talented individual
• 25:49
  Speaker 9: players Texas A and M does too. But they move
• 25:52
  Speaker 9: it and they and they turn it, and they cut
• 25:55
  Speaker 9: and they drive it and they kick it, and they
• 25:57
  Speaker 9: got good looks.
• 25:58
  Speaker 10: They got better shots than we and.
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: We, especially when playing from behind, we can't continue to
• 26:07
  Speaker 9: try to hit grand slams any sec against these defenses.
• 26:11
  Speaker 9: That's that's why we shot the percentages that we shot, so.
• 26:15
  Speaker 10: That detail.
• 26:17
  Speaker 9: All of the little details offensively in terms of what
• 26:20
  Speaker 9: our system is and when I'm supposed to be in
• 26:21
  Speaker 9: the corner, and when I'm supposed to be filling, and
• 26:25
  Speaker 9: when I'm supposed to flash to the elbow, and when
• 26:27
  Speaker 9: I throw it to the elbow where.
• 26:28
  Speaker 10: I'm supposed to go.
• 26:29
  Speaker 9: All of those little details probably along complimented mostly defensively
• 26:34
  Speaker 9: again with defensive rebounding, are things that we can improve upon, and.
• 26:40
  Speaker 10: This team will, they'll work at it.
• 26:42
  Speaker 9: They will how bought in will be we'll see, but
• 26:44
  Speaker 9: that that factor will be a determinant factor and how
• 26:48
  Speaker 9: this team finishes and to what level this team progresses.
• 26:53
  Speaker 9: But it's a resilient program. We're gonna jump right back
• 26:59
  Speaker 9: at it. We got all opportunities right in front of us.
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: This program lost four games two different times last year
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: in a row, you know, and uh, we're gonna.
• 27:09
  Speaker 10: Keep at it.
• 27:09
  Speaker 9: We've got some really good guys and we've got enough
• 27:11
  Speaker 9: talent to to uh to bounce back and get him
• 27:16
  Speaker 9: anxious to get back to work. Quick follow up like, yeah,
• 27:22
  Speaker 9: just just it was one of those It wasn't intentional,
• 27:28
  Speaker 9: it wasn't premeditative.
• 27:30
  Speaker 10: It was a This was a game where.
• 27:37
  Speaker 9: Your offensive focus starts with press attack, and your bad decisions,
• 27:43
  Speaker 9: your maturity employees verse pressure and full court press and
• 27:47
  Speaker 9: running and jumping.
• 27:47
  Speaker 10: And I thought.
• 27:50
  Speaker 9: Jay Bailey made a big impact on the game when
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: we were when we got off to a really tough start,
• 27:57
  Speaker 9: and then Jeremiah, I knew it would be a a
• 28:01
  Speaker 9: a high possession game.
• 28:03
  Speaker 10: I thought he was in a pretty good rhythm. He's
• 28:05
  Speaker 10: just just felt decent about the guys.
• 28:10
  Speaker 9: That have been given opportunities. And if one of those
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: guys were really struggling or gotten into major file trouble,
• 28:15
  Speaker 9: it might have been different. But Jake is, Jake's doing great,
• 28:18
  Speaker 9: had two good practices. He'll keep working and and keep developing.
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: Jing them wiser than we're.
• 28:29
  Speaker 18: You mentioned a few minutes ago something.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: So he's had a couple of quiet.
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: Games in a ronel and your mom, what's it gonna
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: take to kind of.
• 28:35
  Speaker 14: Get him himp backed.
• 28:38
  Speaker 10: Mentally? He's got to respond better.
• 28:41
  Speaker 9: I love him, you know, and he's has some huge games,
• 28:44
  Speaker 9: and he's in his maturity compared to this time last years,
• 28:48
  Speaker 9: it's night and day. He's come a long way, and
• 28:50
  Speaker 9: he's a really talented kid. And when we you know,
• 28:55
  Speaker 9: our decisions are are really important in close those important games.
• 29:03
  Speaker 10: When you miss a layup at the rim.
• 29:04
  Speaker 9: We we've we can't have five seconds where we're arguing
• 29:08
  Speaker 9: with the refs while the other teams laying the ball
• 29:11
  Speaker 9: like we we have to respond better and sprint back
• 29:15
  Speaker 9: and move on to the next play. And he's gotten
• 29:19
  Speaker 9: so much better at that, you know. And he was
• 29:23
  Speaker 9: just struggling with with finishing a little bit. And again
• 29:26
  Speaker 9: I thought they were interior a g and some of
• 29:28
  Speaker 9: those other guys. I think a wing came up from
• 29:30
  Speaker 9: behind them and in block one of those really good looks.
• 29:33
  Speaker 10: That he got.
• 29:35
  Speaker 9: But uh, that's just that's that's one area that he'll
• 29:40
  Speaker 9: continue to work on to to improve upon. Is is
• 29:44
  Speaker 9: just our our responses to negative plays, and it's it's
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: all of us.
• 29:47
  Speaker 10: It's it's that one just comes to mind. I'm just
• 29:50
  Speaker 10: trying to give you an answer.
• 29:50
  Speaker 9: But again, it was a tough defensive matchup for him
• 29:53
  Speaker 9: as well, with this team kind of an outlier. Not
• 29:56
  Speaker 9: many teams in our league where I don't think he'll
• 30:01
  Speaker 9: have an ability to impact the game defensively like like
• 30:06
  Speaker 9: this one. That'll be it'll be this different. But I
• 30:08
  Speaker 9: anticipated in him coming back and having a big game.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: So Mike White after the loss to the Aggies on Saturday.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Always interesting about what the opposing coach has to say.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: I hope you heard that little part. They're really good.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: I think every coach that's played them has had a
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: similar thing. Georgia was doing real well there for a while,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: then they weren't. They will have the week off and
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: they go to L s U on Saturday. That's one
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: game I won't watch. I watch a lot of college basketball.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I picked my spots a lot of college basketball this weekend,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: including yesterday. We're going to talk about that coming up
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: in a little bit. Florida, Alabama, Todd Golden. You know,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: before the game, they were asking him about Bettioco and
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: he goes, we'll beat him anyway. Love that. They asked
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: him about it after the game, too so and he answered,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: to his credit, he's not backing off of it. So yeah,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna hear from him coming up here
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: in a few moments. GALLERYA is the definitive spa in

  Speaker 1: Post game on the network with Andrew and doctor John
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Thornton after the game on Saturday with a head coach
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: of the seven and one Aggies in SEC play third
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: win on the road. Bucky some thoughts after this impressive victory.
• 36:19
  Speaker 17: Well, we thought if we could get this game to
• 36:21
  Speaker 17: the last five six minutes, we would play really well,
• 36:23
  Speaker 17: and we took a total team effort to do that,
• 36:26
  Speaker 17: and you saw us run away with it in the
• 36:27
  Speaker 17: at the end of the game. That's kind of what
• 36:29
  Speaker 17: we thought would happen with our group if we could
• 36:30
  Speaker 17: just hang around and play hard. Lean on those guys.
• 36:32
  Speaker 17: They're a good team. Well, coach got good players, but
• 36:35
  Speaker 17: our guys late really dang good.
• 36:37
  Speaker 11: You could go to talk about a lot of things.
• 36:38
  Speaker 11: We will, but the conditioning, because you knew at the
• 36:41
  Speaker 11: pace neither team's probably played this fast in the game,
• 36:44
  Speaker 11: and then they did. And I think your conditioning, the
• 36:46
  Speaker 11: toughness when plays need to be made late, rebounding second
• 36:50
  Speaker 11: shots was there.
• 36:51
  Speaker 17: It was there, and that's a tribute to how hard
• 36:53
  Speaker 17: these guys work in practice. They're obvious and up and down.
• 36:55
  Speaker 17: Team was really fast. I thought our adaptability played a
• 36:58
  Speaker 17: factor in this game. You know, we're play man. We're
• 37:00
  Speaker 17: ever to play zone well, zone demand, and you know
• 37:03
  Speaker 17: that was really good to see you come on the road.
• 37:05
  Speaker 17: You made nineteen out of twenty free throws. Uh, that's
• 37:08
  Speaker 17: a good sign. That's not easy to do on an
• 37:09
  Speaker 17: SEC road game. And we need every one of those points.
• 37:12
  Speaker 11: Well, the fact that everybody is on the same page
• 37:14
  Speaker 11: in this critical stage up the game or the season
• 37:17
  Speaker 11: or whatever. Rashan being a pressure release took advantage and
• 37:20
  Speaker 11: took their full court pressure completely out correct.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 37:22
  Speaker 17: Yeah, we you know we're Cape. We have a now
• 37:25
  Speaker 17: the biggest team, but we got a skilled team. Even
• 37:27
  Speaker 17: our fives can handle the basketball and we want to.
• 37:29
  Speaker 17: We told our guys, you're gonna make some mistakes in
• 37:30
  Speaker 17: this game, but you just got to get to the
• 37:32
  Speaker 17: next play. And we did a good job of getting
• 37:35
  Speaker 17: to the next play. Even when they came back they
• 37:37
  Speaker 17: cut it to two. You didn't see a panic in
• 37:39
  Speaker 17: our gud. Just stay the course. We'll look at the
• 37:41
  Speaker 17: scoreboard in the games over and whatever it is is
• 37:43
  Speaker 17: what it is.
• 37:43
  Speaker 11: Well, the other part of about is you talk about
• 37:45
  Speaker 11: playing aggie basketball, playing bucketball, whatever you want to call it.
• 37:48
  Speaker 11: The way that they're coach, the attack mode. This is
• 37:51
  Speaker 11: a team you would think here will try to attack
• 37:53
  Speaker 11: us but absolutely fearless going back at him.
• 37:56
  Speaker 17: Yeah, we got to be us and live with that.
• 37:58
  Speaker 17: But you know a lot of the things with us
• 37:59
  Speaker 17: is our biggest deals were gonna play as hard as
• 38:02
  Speaker 17: we can play the time, plays unselfish all time, play
• 38:04
  Speaker 17: with confidence. You know, some games as at man, some
• 38:06
  Speaker 17: games is at zone. Some games as a lot of traps.
• 38:08
  Speaker 17: Some games is it not as much traps. Yeah, but
• 38:11
  Speaker 17: we're gonna play fearless basketball. And our guys have bought
• 38:14
  Speaker 17: into that. And you know it's it's easy when you
• 38:16
  Speaker 17: got a group of guys like we got veteran guys.
• 38:19
  Speaker 11: Well, you know, you talk about who's it gonna be
• 38:21
  Speaker 11: on a good of a night and and sure we
• 38:22
  Speaker 11: can go down the list. We know Jamie provided everything.
• 38:25
  Speaker 11: You know, Uh, Frederica came in and had a presence
• 38:27
  Speaker 11: and when he was in, But how about Ali Diba.
• 38:30
  Speaker 17: You know Ali stayed ready and when Mackenzie got hurt,
• 38:34
  Speaker 17: he wasn't playing a lot until Mackenzie got hurt. And
• 38:37
  Speaker 17: you know we talked about this. We can sit around
• 38:41
  Speaker 17: and pout when when of your better players gets hurt,
• 38:43
  Speaker 17: or you can have somebody with the next man up mentality,
• 38:46
  Speaker 17: and that's what this group has had. And you saw
• 38:49
  Speaker 17: him not known to be a great shooter before he
• 38:52
  Speaker 17: was here, and I've always thought he could shoot it
• 38:54
  Speaker 17: because he just needed a little bit of confidence. And
• 38:56
  Speaker 17: you saw him more importantly with the game on the line.
• 38:58
  Speaker 17: He was confident letting it rip. And that's about ninety
• 39:01
  Speaker 17: percent shooting.
• 39:02
  Speaker 11: Man. You talk about confidence now, but when he has
• 39:04
  Speaker 11: a chance to wind up to shoot that thing and
• 39:06
  Speaker 11: you feel pretty good about it.
• 39:07
  Speaker 15: Set shot Ali so what we call.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Him Ali Diva had fifteen and was three or four
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: from threes, added six boards. He has just gotten better
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: and better. I got to tell you, I watched them early.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: You know, those first few games. I said, he's a KP.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: He can't play. Yeah, that shows you how much I know.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Actually I know a lot about basketball, but I'm missed
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: on that one. He's just he's really been key. Athletic,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: defends rebounds. I said he got six boards. He got
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: two boards, but fifteen points, only one turnover, a steal,
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: a block, pretty good and.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: A and M gets.
• 40:01
  Speaker 19: The win.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: When you look at it, you go, mah, it was easy.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: What was easy the first six to ten minutes wasn't
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: so easy in the middle part of the game, and
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: then they pulled away late. And I know I've been
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: on their case about free throws because they had to
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: start with Tennessee. They lost the game of the free
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: throw line. And this team shot free throws well all year.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: They had about a three game stretch they just weren't
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: shooting free throws. Even in games they won, they were
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: closer than they should have been. They weren't shooting free
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: throws well. But nineteen of twenty nine, I won't I
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: won't gripe about that. All right, We'll take a break,
• 40:43

  Speaker 7: Ray, what's your name?
• 42:34
  Speaker 11: Hey?
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us. We've got the writers round
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: table coming away here in a few minutes. Yesterday an
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: unusual Sunday game in the SEC made for tv ABC Florida,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: Alabama and He's Gator. Just keep getting better. You know
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: they they won the Natty last year. They lost their
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: guards early on. Their guard play has been terrible. It
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: has gotten so much better. Their front line is a
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: beast for anybody going into this game. Todd Golden. They
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: were asking about Tibiaco, the G League NBA guy that
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: got a reprieve, which is I think the court date
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: maybe tomorrow, the real court date tomorrow. The Tuscaloosa judge
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: who was a big donor for Alabama has been forced
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: to recuse himself. It'll be interesting to see what happens.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know where the NC double A is. They're
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: cowering in the corner. Remember the days where the n
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: C double A was like we don't care, suice because
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: they'd never lost, they never lost a lawsuit. And then
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: they did and it was a big one. And now
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: it's like, we don't want any part of that.
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: Don't get us involved.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: It's like, well, you handle a multi billion dollar business here,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: you are involved. You have rules, you can enforce those rules.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Now you might get some judges like they got in Tuscaloosa,
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: but you just keep going up up the ladder. It's going, Hey,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: we got a rule book. Rule book says you get
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: so much eligibility, then you don't and we're not going
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: to have anybody that's played pro ball playing in our tournament.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: So you can say, hey, play Debiyaka Law you want,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: but you're going to be ineligible in March. You'll you'll
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: you'll have an ineligible player, so you can't play in March.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: Is that hard? Am I missing something? Is that complicated
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: to do that? But Golden was great. He goes, hey,
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: we're going to beat them anyway. Not only did they
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: beat them, they beat them down yesterday. First time Alabama's
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: given up one hundred, and this is a team that
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: scores one hundred and they don't care if you score
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: a hundred as long as you score one hundred and one.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: But Florida, they were awesome yesterday. Here's Todd Golden after
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 45:54
  Speaker 14: Yeah, just obviously a great win for a program. I
• 45:56
  Speaker 14: thought our players did an incredible job just playing with
• 46:00
  Speaker 14: the great mentality from starting to finish all that. Carlon
• 46:03
  Speaker 14: Hartman did great. You know, he's had the scout for
• 46:05
  Speaker 14: the last couple of years and has done a wonderful
• 46:07
  Speaker 14: job kind of understanding how they tick and kind of
• 46:10
  Speaker 14: what makes them go. And I thought we had a
• 46:11
  Speaker 14: really really good game plan to limit their catch and
• 46:15
  Speaker 14: shoot threes and try to make them beat us otherwise.
• 46:19
  Speaker 14: And again, when we're at our best, our defense in
• 46:22
  Speaker 14: the rebounding is leading draw offense.
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: And I thought we did a really good job.
• 46:25
  Speaker 14: One of our coaches said, we got eleven straight stops
• 46:27
  Speaker 14: coming out of halftime, which against that team is absolutely fantastic.
• 46:32
  Speaker 14: And really just proud of the effort that our players
• 46:35
  Speaker 14: displayed today.
• 46:37
  Speaker 16: Does it feel good when you put yourself out there,
• 46:40
  Speaker 16: we're you know, we're gonna beat them anyways, and then
• 46:43
  Speaker 16: you go out and you beat them down anyways.
• 46:45
  Speaker 14: Well, I mean it's a I was. I was thinking
• 46:49
  Speaker 14: about that a lot last night actually, and you know,
• 46:53
  Speaker 14: as this was a big, you know, one off ABC game,
• 46:56
  Speaker 14: you know they were gonna try to find different ways
• 46:59
  Speaker 14: to stir it up. And you know, I thought when
• 47:03
  Speaker 14: one of the Alabama beat writers or reporters talked to
• 47:06
  Speaker 14: Nate about it on Friday, I thought his response, you know,
• 47:08
  Speaker 14: we're very similar. He's like, yeah, I understand where he's
• 47:10
  Speaker 14: coming from. Like he's gonna try to kick our ass,
• 47:12
  Speaker 14: We're gonna try to kick his ass. I don't think
• 47:13
  Speaker 14: that's news to anybody. But with that being said, yeah,
• 47:16
  Speaker 14: absolutely right to come out and impose our will the
• 47:20
  Speaker 14: way we did beat him on the glass. We scored
• 47:22
  Speaker 14: seventy two points in the paint, and I thought our
• 47:26
  Speaker 14: guys were in there for one second, two seconds and
• 47:28
  Speaker 14: then and then we would score it. So we did
• 47:30
  Speaker 14: a good job taking advantage of our catches down there,
• 47:34
  Speaker 14: and our bigs were really really good today.
• 47:37
  Speaker 16: Two zero stretch to start the second half.
• 47:41
  Speaker 11: About as well as y'all can play full both ends.
• 47:44
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean I think we sixteen Oh, I'm pretty sure.
• 47:48
  Speaker 14: But with that being said, eleven stops, and yes, we're
• 47:51
  Speaker 14: at our best when we're able to get clean rebounds,
• 47:52
  Speaker 14: get out and transition and you know, play that way.
• 47:57
  Speaker 14: And I think that was a very valuable lesson we
• 47:59
  Speaker 14: learned last week against Auburn that when we don't play
• 48:02
  Speaker 14: with the fire and intensity on the defensive end that
• 48:04
  Speaker 14: allows us to play that way, we're we're not as good.
• 48:07
  Speaker 14: So we got to make sure that we continue to
• 48:09
  Speaker 14: focus on that, and I think our players have a
• 48:12
  Speaker 14: great understanding of that. I thought they showed that today.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: You know, a couple of weeks ago when Ales really
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: struggled here in the opern game, but then comed tonight,
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: I means, is what has gone into.
• 48:21
  Speaker 14: It the last couple of weeks for kind of yeah,
• 48:24
  Speaker 14: I think you know, I think you just had one
• 48:26
  Speaker 14: bad game against Auburn.
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: I think he was awesome. Before that. We'd won five
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: in a row.
• 48:30
  Speaker 14: We were playing really well, and uh, you know this team,
• 48:34
  Speaker 14: you know, it's been a learning experience for all of
• 48:36
  Speaker 14: us because of our expectation earlier in the year. Anytime
• 48:39
  Speaker 14: something negative happens, whether it's a lost or somebody doesn't
• 48:42
  Speaker 14: play well or does it shoot well, that that's gonna
• 48:44
  Speaker 14: be the focal point. And so we talked to Alex about, Hey, listen,
• 48:47
  Speaker 14: you've been awesome all year. Don't let one game affect
• 48:49
  Speaker 14: your mentality. I thought he played a great floor game
• 48:51
  Speaker 14: against South Carolina. He had eight assists in that game, Uh,
• 48:54
  Speaker 14: and it was really really good. And today, you know,
• 48:57
  Speaker 14: he looked like a first team All American twenty five seven,
• 49:00
  Speaker 14: six assists, no turnovers, two blocks, two steals.
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: That's a hell of a ball game.
• 49:04
  Speaker 9: Man.
• 49:04
  Speaker 14: I'm not sure, you know, you can ask for anything
• 49:07
  Speaker 14: more out of him. And you know, I thought he
• 49:08
  Speaker 14: was aggressive. I thought he was decisive, and played with
• 49:12
  Speaker 14: great physicality.
• 49:13
  Speaker 16: There's not much help to say about Chenilu at this point,
• 49:16
  Speaker 16: but like that twenty second defensive stop he had at
• 49:19
  Speaker 16: the end of the first half, and that should be
• 49:21
  Speaker 16: like teaching tape type of stuff. But like, what does
• 49:24
  Speaker 16: that show India scouts people?
• 49:25
  Speaker 7: What does that show about his ability.
• 49:27
  Speaker 14: To Yeah, I mean it's just he's I think he's
• 49:32
  Speaker 14: you could argue the best defender in America right now.
• 49:34
  Speaker 14: Just he's a great paint protector, great in the ball screen.
• 49:37
  Speaker 14: And listen, like our game plan, I thought our coaches,
• 49:41
  Speaker 14: as I said Carl, and we did a great job
• 49:43
  Speaker 14: coming up with a game plan. But the game plan
• 49:46
  Speaker 14: is only as good as the players can execute.
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: Right, if we didn't have bigs that.
• 49:51
  Speaker 14: Were agile, smart mobile, you're you're not gonna be able
• 49:55
  Speaker 14: to switch them onto Felon and Holloway. Those guys are
• 49:57
  Speaker 14: great players and they're going to take advantage of that. So, uh,
• 50:00
  Speaker 14: you know, the way in which Rube Condo Tommy specifically
• 50:04
  Speaker 14: can move their feet allows us, you know, more rope
• 50:07
  Speaker 14: ast coaches to think about how to defend teams, and
• 50:09
  Speaker 14: so it just allows us to expand our our arsenal
• 50:15
  Speaker 14: and how we guard teams, and you know, I think
• 50:16
  Speaker 14: that although you know that possession just turns into a
• 50:19
  Speaker 14: shot clock violation or whatever, it really.
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: Is more valuable than that.
• 50:22
  Speaker 14: It you know, gets the crowd in the game, It
• 50:24
  Speaker 14: gets the momentum.
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: And it was just a huge, huge play for us.
• 50:28
  Speaker 17: You guys committed a season low to turnovers today and
• 50:31
  Speaker 17: then score twenty five all the eighteen turnovers that they had.
• 50:34
  Speaker 10: How critical was that?
• 50:35
  Speaker 15: Just given how well they've done in the turnover department
• 50:38
  Speaker 15: this year.
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: It's huge. I mean it's a huge.
• 50:41
  Speaker 14: I think the funny thing I told our team, like
• 50:42
  Speaker 14: I thought we were sloppy with the ball in transition,
• 50:45
  Speaker 14: That's how it felt. And then after the game looking
• 50:48
  Speaker 14: down only two turnovers like that, that's hyper critical, I
• 50:51
  Speaker 14: would say. But again, like we were you know later
• 50:56
  Speaker 14: in the season. Now we got you know, around twenty
• 50:59
  Speaker 14: to twenty one games whatever it is under our belt,
• 51:01
  Speaker 14: Like we're finally getting comfortable playing together and understanding, you know,
• 51:05
  Speaker 14: how to stay in our offense and not to settle,
• 51:08
  Speaker 14: you know, for solid shots, to try to work to
• 51:10
  Speaker 14: get great shots, and you know, we need to be
• 51:13
  Speaker 14: a team that wins in the margins and ball control,
• 51:15
  Speaker 14: whether that's rebounding or turnovers. We were plus eleven on
• 51:18
  Speaker 14: the glass, we were plus sixteen on the turnover battle.
• 51:20
  Speaker 14: Like that's you know, twenty seven additional possessions right there
• 51:23
  Speaker 14: that that we were able to take advantage of.
• 51:25
  Speaker 12: We'll just talked about the defense of the guards.
• 51:29
  Speaker 16: Obviously probably the best game here just five on most
• 51:32
  Speaker 16: efficient guard in America fourteen points.
• 51:35
  Speaker 19: Not particularly efficient tonight.
• 51:38
  Speaker 14: Yeah we we you know bug again, like he's a
• 51:42
  Speaker 14: guy that people want to poke at if he's not
• 51:44
  Speaker 14: shooting the ball well, but the disruption that he creates
• 51:46
  Speaker 14: on the defensive side, it is just incredible. Eight steals, Like,
• 51:52
  Speaker 14: I mean, this is an awesome team that we played,
• 51:54
  Speaker 14: Like this isn't you know, a November by game. And
• 52:00
  Speaker 14: he was just taking the ball and in the right
• 52:02
  Speaker 14: places at the right time, and uh, you know, he's he's.
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: A gritty basketball player. Man.
• 52:06
  Speaker 14: I feel like he's defending, uh way more consistently and
• 52:10
  Speaker 14: physically than he did early in the year.
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: And he's he's an old school point guard.
• 52:14
  Speaker 14: Man. It assists one turnover. It's it's really really valuable
• 52:17
  Speaker 14: in the week game week stretch.
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: About our game considering how much the starters have played.
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: How important do you.
• 52:23
  Speaker 10: Think that is?
• 52:24
  Speaker 12: Just going to it with some momentum and getting some
• 52:26
  Speaker 12: rest for these guys who are playing thirty five plus minutes.
• 52:28
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, I think it's uh like we were
• 52:30
  Speaker 14: able to manage playing time the other night, you know,
• 52:33
  Speaker 14: and anytime we keep our guys under thirty five, like
• 52:36
  Speaker 14: we think we're gonna be all right, there's a lot
• 52:38
  Speaker 14: of medias, there's a lot of timeouts. You know, these
• 52:40
  Speaker 14: guys are young, they're in good shape. You know, they're
• 52:42
  Speaker 14: only playing two games a week, and so now we
• 52:44
  Speaker 14: get into this midpoint of the season and get you know,
• 52:47
  Speaker 14: a week. The two things that we really need to
• 52:50
  Speaker 14: work on is making sure our bodies are ready to
• 52:52
  Speaker 14: go for the back half and making sure we get
• 52:54
  Speaker 14: better at practice, you know, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, because
• 52:58
  Speaker 14: we're obviously going in to A and M who's playing
• 53:02
  Speaker 14: fantastically well, and you know, they're a unique team and
• 53:05
  Speaker 14: we got to make sure we're prepared for them. But
• 53:07
  Speaker 14: I think, you know a good time for this to happen,
• 53:09
  Speaker 14: and you know, we should be able to get refreshed
• 53:12
  Speaker 14: and on our game for next Saturday.
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: Chance.
• 53:18
  Speaker 14: You know, I think our crowd was amazing per usual,
• 53:21
  Speaker 14: So I don't know about that specifically, but I think
• 53:24
  Speaker 14: they gave us a huge lift and when we went
• 53:26
  Speaker 14: on a little bit of run, they did a great.
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: Job of supporting us.
• 53:30
  Speaker 14: And as we talked about like we we feel well,
• 53:34
  Speaker 14: I feel I know guys in our program feel terrible
• 53:37
  Speaker 14: like when we lose in here. It's an incredible home
• 53:39
  Speaker 14: court advantage thirty nine out of forty two, and I
• 53:43
  Speaker 14: think last Saturday left a bad taste in our mouth
• 53:45
  Speaker 14: that hopefully we won't have to experience anytime soon.
