  We'll start with Fergus.
• 0:04
  >> Philip, uh, you guys have been
• 0:06
  rebounding really well. It was big
• 0:08
  against Florida. Tennessee's kind of the
• 0:10
  same way. What's the key to playing a
• 0:12
  team like that where, you know, they're
• 0:13
  so good at rebounding?
• 0:15
  >> Yeah.
• 0:16
  like every ma every man in this team uh
• 0:20
  like doesn't matter if he's guard or f
• 0:24
  forward everybody go on offensive glass
• 0:28
  crashing
• 0:29
  or offensive glass and um also in
• 0:33
  defense like
• 0:36
  you did you saw Tahad Petty Ford how to
• 0:40
  how to hit like Alex Gondon who is more
• 0:44
  higher than team. But yeah, everybody
• 0:48
  have a role here.
• 0:55
  [snorts]
• 0:55
  >> Philip, talk about where you feel you
• 0:57
  have improved the most. Where have you
• 0:59
  gotten better the most since the start?
• 1:02
  >> Uh, I just play game game game and game
• 1:07
  and like next game, next fight for me. I
• 1:12
  like to to to help my teammates get
• 1:16
  better uh in every segment in game.
• 1:20
  Yeah. But maybe in defensively I I I
• 1:25
  much better than from the start of
• 1:27
  season.
• 1:29
  [snorts]
• 1:34
  >> But you guys picked up a couple big wins
• 1:36
  on the road last week. How much
• 1:39
  confidence did that give you guys as a
• 1:41
  unit now going to another road
• 1:43
  environment that you know in Tennessee
• 1:45
  is going to be a a tough you know loud
• 1:47
  environment? Yeah, of course, everybody
• 1:49
  in this team now have a big confidence
• 1:52
  after this
• 1:54
  winning strikes, but we we need to still
• 1:58
  uh be hungry against Tennessee because
• 2:03
  this is um tough game and um we just
• 2:10
  need to complete our winning strike.
• 2:16
  >> [snorts]
• 2:19
  >> How impressive is Sebastian on defense
• 2:21
  for a guy you [snorts] are around the
• 2:24
  same size just what he can do
• 2:25
  [clears throat] on defense
• 2:27
  >> last game not just last game but last
• 2:31
  game special he he guard playmakers
• 2:36
  uh and I think
• 2:40
  nobody wants to play offensive against
• 2:42
  him he he's like he's monster
• 2:46
  defensively
• 2:48
  and he he can guard
• 2:51
  one to five everybody [snorts] and he
• 2:55
  he's just strong.
• 2:58
  >> Anything else for him?
• 3:01
  >> Phil that game against Texas seemed like
• 3:04
  you were in a place where there was a
• 3:06
  lot of physicality and a lot of
• 3:07
  scrapping but a lot of guys too. Um, you
• 3:10
  know, Coach Pearl was saying after the
• 3:11
  game that that seems sort of like a a
• 3:13
  teamwide identity, not just kind of see
• 3:15
  not that physicality, but just for you
• 3:17
  seems like that's a big part of your
• 3:19
  game. Just how much do you enjoy I guess
• 3:21
  maybe a physical match up like that one?
• 3:24
  >> I enjoying that in these games like
• 3:27
  against bigger guys who who have more
• 3:31
  pounds than me. I enjoy in this game
• 3:33
  because he's these guys is stronger than
• 3:37
  me. But this is better fight for me
• 3:41
  [clears throat] and I just like to play
• 3:43
  against stronger guy than me.
• 3:46
  >> Anything else for Philip? Good
• 3:48
  >> job, Phil. [snorts]
• 3:49
  >> Thanks, Phil.
