• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just obviously thrilled. It's uh, there's no better feeling
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: than being on that bus on Monday night. Uh, just
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: being one of the last two teams standing that bus
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: ride to uh, you know, to the to the stadium
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: is just uh, it's just a cool experience. So I
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: look forward to, uh obviously the ability to max out
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the season to get to the last game, and then
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: just Illinois, you know, couldn't have more respect for them
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: and their coach and you know in there, and they're
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: awesome players, and uh, you know, like we're very selective
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: with who we we try to play in non conference situations,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: whether they're home and homes or or the series that
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: we're now doing with Illinois. You know, we only try
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: to do series with the best programs in the country.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: So uh, they'll obviously have another crack at us in
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Chicago next year. But uh, yeah, I just couldn't be
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: more proud of my guys, and uh, you know how
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: hard they fought when when most people, you know, probably
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: didn't think we were gonna win the game, or at
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: least a little bit of what I saw in today
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: you know, TNT and some of the different prognostications, So
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it is great to win the game, and I had
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: to throw some shade.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: If you have questions for Silas, Brailin or Taris, please
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: raise your hand.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: We're gonna take questions for them first.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Robbie say you Robbie Ostella Bracketeer dot Org. My questions
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: for Brailn. You guys came out of the gates, both
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: you and Taras seem to have the sense of feeling early.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Does that any continuation from your shot in DC or
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: was it just kind of coming out of the gates strong.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it was just kind of the flow
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: of the game. But I know coming into the game
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: I needed to shoot it with confidence, just coming off
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: last Sunday, just just have that flow of that momentum,
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: and so yeah, I mean seeing the first two go in,
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: it just boosts all the confidence for you to keep shooting.
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: So I think it just it just happened within the game.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Staying up front and center.
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: Zach Zach, Brazilian europe Post Tyres. There were obviously points
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: of the season when you're free throw shooting. I'm sure
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: you were disappointed in you had two big ones with
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: two forty six left and then think of maybe thirty
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: seconds left you ran for the ran to the ball
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: to get it to shoot. I mean, what do you
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: think what has changed with you at the line and
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: what's your confidence like at the one?
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah, just putting, putting the work in, trusting, trusting all
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: the work I put in, and yeah we stirty seconds left.
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: I looked at coach getting a nod, like, yo, coach,
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: let me let me catch all of them. Found me
• 2:23
  Speaker 7: on the knock these two downs, So I felt like
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: just trusting them the work I put in, trusting the
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: guys around me, and like I said, buying into the system.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: We'll go to the left side of the room, Dana,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: right side of the aisle, Uh.
• 2:33
  Speaker 8: Dana, and the SCNN sports Stilas. You had a huge,
• 2:37
  Speaker 8: I'm over here, huge offensive rebound, kicked it back out
• 2:39
  Speaker 8: to Bradlyn for that three, and you're playing, I know,
• 2:41
  Speaker 8: in a better ankle, but not a great angle. How
• 2:44
  Speaker 8: what has been your mentality part in that moment and
• 2:46
  Speaker 8: in this entire tournament to be able to kind of
• 2:48
  Speaker 8: make that kind of an effort play And that's all
• 2:50
  Speaker 8: that is is sheer effort, right.
• 2:52
  Speaker 9: Yeah, It's definitely nothing but a sure effort just to
• 2:55
  Speaker 9: get that rebound. It was a big time playing the game.
• 2:57
  Speaker 9: I think it was probably a minion some change to
• 2:59
  Speaker 9: go just to get that rebound. It's like coaches saying
• 3:01
  Speaker 9: the whole game, we got to be the first one
• 3:03
  Speaker 9: to the ball, like we got to make those big
• 3:04
  Speaker 9: time ever plays, those fifty to fifty plays. So just
• 3:07
  Speaker 9: knowing that being on a bum ankle, but still being
• 3:09
  Speaker 9: able to give him my all and leave everything out
• 3:11
  Speaker 9: there for my teammates, you know, just making sure I'm
• 3:14
  Speaker 9: not shortening them. It's a great feeling, and you know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 9: I'm just glad to be able to be playing another
• 3:19
  Speaker 9: game on Monday.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Next question for the Yukon student athletes and the left
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: up front dom.
• 3:24
  Speaker 10: Doma Marie Hurt. For current silas, it's as the games
• 3:28
  Speaker 10: have gone on and you've gotten deeper into tournament, it
• 3:31
  Speaker 10: seems like you guys have made fewer and fewer mistakes
• 3:34
  Speaker 10: each time, right, Hardly any turnovers today, free throws not
• 3:38
  Speaker 10: an issue, et cetera. In your first year here. That's
• 3:41
  Speaker 10: kind of the way it was the other times too.
• 3:43
  Speaker 10: What have you learned about Yuka?
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: How does that happen?
• 3:46
  Speaker 10: How were you guys playing more and more solid fundamentally
• 3:49
  Speaker 10: as the pressure gets higher and higher.
• 3:52
  Speaker 9: I just think that's just a testament to the coaches
• 3:54
  Speaker 9: just giving us confidence and setting a game plan for
• 3:57
  Speaker 9: us to follow. And I think us just going out
• 3:59
  Speaker 9: there being confident and the decisions were making, the shots
• 4:01
  Speaker 9: were taken, and then I think when it's winning time,
• 4:04
  Speaker 9: we try to connect as much as possible and have
• 4:07
  Speaker 9: each other's back throughout the whole time. I think even
• 4:09
  Speaker 9: when they had that run like late in the second half,
• 4:12
  Speaker 9: we tolt ourselves. We were flying. Let's just respond, and
• 4:15
  Speaker 9: I think we were able to do.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: That going up front on the right side.
• 4:19
  Speaker 11: Matt Demic Daily Daily Campus Terras, you knew how good
• 4:23
  Speaker 11: of a rebounding team Illinois was coming into this one.
• 4:26
  Speaker 11: Only minus eight on the total glass, minus two on
• 4:29
  Speaker 11: the old glass. Does that Is that a win for
• 4:31
  Speaker 11: you guys? Are you happy with those numbers?
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: I wouldn't say so. I mean, knowing that first half
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: we were down losing the rebounding battle about four, So
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: I feel like there's such a good offensive rebounded team
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: being there, Like I said, locking on that side, being
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: able to put pressure on the offensive glass, put pressure
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: on the defensive glass. So I feel like we could
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: be better. But like I said, we escaped with the
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: win today, so we're blessed and thankful for that.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Continue with questions for brailing terrorists are silence on the
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: right side, left of the isle on Nancy.
• 4:57
  Speaker 12: Antam Are USA Today Sports Front For any of you guys,
• 5:00
  Speaker 12: you didn't have any turnovers in the first half, and
• 5:02
  Speaker 12: I think it was the first like four plus minutes,
• 5:04
  Speaker 12: so the second half before you hit your first one
• 5:07
  Speaker 12: finished with four. I think it was how do you
• 5:10
  Speaker 12: do that on a game this big and against a
• 5:13
  Speaker 12: team that's as physical as Illinois.
• 5:16
  Speaker 9: I think we just just our decision making, you know,
• 5:19
  Speaker 9: being confident in what move we're gonna do, if we're
• 5:21
  Speaker 9: gonna take a shot, take a shot, and not getting
• 5:22
  Speaker 9: caught in between. And I think more so Aaron on
• 5:26
  Speaker 9: this side of if we screened for one another and
• 5:28
  Speaker 9: we said a good we're gonna screen for on another,
• 5:30
  Speaker 9: you know, we know we can get to our spots
• 5:31
  Speaker 9: and hit our shots, and then you know, just being
• 5:33
  Speaker 9: smart with the ball. I think if the pass is
• 5:35
  Speaker 9: not there, rather get a shot on the rim and
• 5:37
  Speaker 9: try to offense rebound rather than just getting a live
• 5:40
  Speaker 9: ball turnover.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Stand up run on the right with Adam Hey guys.
• 5:44
  Speaker 13: Adam Zagoria from Forbes with Alex Caravan, I think you
• 5:48
  Speaker 13: would probably agree that wasn't his best game ever. But
• 5:51
  Speaker 13: this guy's on the brink with one more win of
• 5:53
  Speaker 13: winning three championships in four years. He would be the
• 5:56
  Speaker 13: only player not from UCLA to do that. What can
• 6:00
  Speaker 13: you say about what Alex has kind of meant to
• 6:03
  Speaker 13: the team and what would you expect from him on Monday?
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: Shoot, no Ak, I think Aka, he just holds the
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: standard with this program, and I mean, that's the guy
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: you look up up to on the core. He's been
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: through it twice. And just knowing that he has been
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: through it twice, you can you can use him as
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: an outlet. And I mean to make history with Monday
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: for him, I think that's what we're all trying to accomplish.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: And I mean, it'd be so special for him.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: On in the front on the left side, I'm deserved.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Note we're going to go to the yellow microphone. We
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: had a question and before you, sir, no, let's turn around.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Let's give it to right there, perfect, perfect, great job.
• 6:42
  Speaker 14: Thank Jake Fenner Daily Mail. I have a question for Braylan.
• 6:45
  Speaker 14: You started off in the first half shooting fifty percent.
• 6:48
  Speaker 14: Second half, you shot one for six. What is it
• 6:51
  Speaker 14: to keep you determined in the middle of a shooting
• 6:55
  Speaker 14: slump to hit such a clutch shot in that moment
• 6:57
  Speaker 14: that essentially ice the game.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think just coming in the second half,
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: just how to get the momentum from the first half,
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: and just you always got to shoot with confidence and
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: the set is gonna be ran for anybody on the team.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: It's just you gotta shoot it with confidence. So I mean,
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: just trying to find the best look on the floor,
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: and I know our point guards are gonna get get
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: us the ball. So I mean, I think that was
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: the biggest shot I hit tonight.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: We want to thank and congratulate Silas, Braylin and Terrorist.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: They're going to head back to the locker room, which
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: is still open. They're also going to join us tomorrow
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: for some more media availability. So we begin with our
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: first question for coach Hurley on campus up front, yellow microphone.
• 7:46
  Speaker 15: Hi, Sam Callahan.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I know you, Dad's the Grandfather's the goat.
• 7:51
  Speaker 15: Yes, So this is your eighteenth win this season when
• 7:57
  Speaker 15: holding your opponent under forty pertent shooting. Just talk about
• 8:01
  Speaker 15: the defense throughout the course of the season, especially compared
• 8:05
  Speaker 15: to the defensive what was last year.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, we uh, I think we spent a majority
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: of the year as a top five defense, and you know,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: just the life and death nature of this tournament I
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: think has uh created the urgency and and I thought
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the kind of the best thing that we did was
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: was get into them in the full court, and get
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: into them a little bit more in the half court
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and move some of those you know, two man actions
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: a little bit further away, and you know, put them
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: under you know, a little bit you know, more duress.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: But you know, obviously to hold them a thirty three
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: percent from the field, three assists, eight turnovers in the game. Uh,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: we want a lot of one on one battles, not all.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: But uh yeah, our defense sustained this. Ye know, we
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: we end up. I mean we we had so many opportunities.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I mean we we I mean we could have made
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: eighteen threes. I mean we had two's at the rim.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we we could have played better
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: offensively and finished plays more. But great ball security and
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the defense was elite.
• 9:14
  Speaker 16: On the left side of the room, coach Dana Dana
• 9:17
  Speaker 16: and Neelos and Sports stand kind of what I asked
• 9:19
  Speaker 16: I was when you have in a rock fight like this,
• 9:21
  Speaker 16: when you need every little play counts, how much does
• 9:23
  Speaker 16: it help not only having guys that are capable of
• 9:25
  Speaker 16: getting a rebound on a bad angle, but understand how
• 9:28
  Speaker 16: critically important that kind of a play is.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we knew what it was. I mean,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: you're coming into the game as a as an underdog
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: versus a team that you beat by thirteen points earlier
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: in the season, you know, which was kind of surprising.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: You know that that that's how we kind of came
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: into the game. And obviously I've been waiting to say that,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: and now I forgot your question.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Go back to Dana's mike. It's just like.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Sitting on that though.
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: You got it out of your system.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Just in case no one asked, that's okay.
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: My question was with Silas's rebound, about having the ability
• 10:07
  Speaker 8: have players who recognize the importance of such small players,
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: not just being able to do them.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I just thought players like you know, like Silas,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: just what he's done for our basketball team, the mentality,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was everything we were lacking last year.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Just a guard like him, ball hawk, incredible toughness on
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the backboard. You know, it made you know, made Waggler
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: work for it, you know, made Boswell, I mean, you know,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: just his on ball defense and he's a shell of
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: of himself offensively, I mean he is really you know,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: gutting it out and hit. The courage that he has
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: showed I think has been inspiring for the group and
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: guys like Jayden Ross too. Just the defense that that
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: he's able to play on the perimeter. I thought that
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: that's obviously those were game.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Changers upfront for Zech.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: Zach Brazilia New York Close Dan with Tyris. You know,
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: he's had games obviously where he's been incredible during the season.
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: You know, so when they were beat when you guys
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: beat Saint John's, but the consistency that you've seen in
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: these five and then he's making free throws, Like what
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: do you what do you point to of why he
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: all of a sudden now it's every game he's bringing it.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I just think, you know, these these players that
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: have careers and you just it's why you kind of
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: never give up on a player. You know, you stick
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: with a player. You stick with a player because of
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the characteristics that he has obviously he's got enormous talent.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: But he's a man of great character. He's a man
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: of great faith, he's got great work habits. Uh, you know,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: he's a very humble person. Uh, he's in Uh he's
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: just a great, great young man. So uh, we've all
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: just been waiting for this from him, and uh, this
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: version of him, which you know, this version of him
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: is one of the best players in this tournament, one
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: of the best players left in this tournament. He's played
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: as well as anyone has played in this tournament. And
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: it's all we've ever wanted for him. Hasn't been, you know,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: been an easy process, you know, and to get him there,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: you know, but he's there now, and hopefully this is
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the player he is for the rest of his basketball life.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Third row center.
• 12:16
  Speaker 17: You have a audio Joseph CBS Sports. You have a
• 12:18
  Speaker 17: team that averages fifteen sissis a game. You have four
• 12:22
  Speaker 17: playmakers on that Illinois team. You hold him to three assists.
• 12:25
  Speaker 17: Is that some sort of coaching strategy that you were
• 12:27
  Speaker 17: deploying about preventing extra passes or was that just the
• 12:31
  Speaker 17: nature of them missing a lot of threes?
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of that has to do with
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: how we guard and again, you know, like we both
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: could have made more shots. We'll both go back and
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: look at the game, you know, and see the missed opportunities,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: you know. But for us, it's very important for our
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: players in one on one situations to be able to
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: hold up on an island like a cornerback you know
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: in football that plays a lot of man coverage, because
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: we do want to try to you know, take the
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: three point line away from you know, players like Davis
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Uh you know, in this game, try to limit Wagler
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: to the tough contested off the dribble ones. You know,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Ben is an excellent three point shooter. We were willing
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: to live with uh Mrkovich uh and Eva's Izovich uh
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: like kind of stunt them, you know, because they were
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: you know, thirty percent free throw shooters. So we picked
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: our poison with some of the guys that we were willing,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: you know, to let shoot the three.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: On the right side toward the back.
• 13:35
  Speaker 13: Coach Justin Williams from the Athletic late in the game,
• 13:37
  Speaker 13: it was kind of the opposite of the Duke game
• 13:39
  Speaker 13: where they're closing the gap.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: What was your message in the huddle to kind of
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: keep your guys composure.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I mean we were I thought we were just getting
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: great shots. I mean we were we were getting great
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: shots the whole way through, and that's not easy.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: I thought we were able to execute, to get good
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: looks all over the court. You know, like we had
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: a great process, you know, the way we were going
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: about you know, our offensive execution, the efforts we were
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: making defensively. You know, I just thought we had a

  Speaker 1: just you know, hey, listen, if we get stops and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: rebound the ball and don't turn it over, we're gonna
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: keep getting great shots. And you know, we're doing to
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: make a couple. And we've been in games like this
