- 0:00Speaker 1: Is Chris Daily has joined us for the daily recap.
- 0:03Speaker 1: First of all, thanks for coming out. As always, we appreciated. Wow,
- 0:07Speaker 1: defense really good in the second half. That spurred this
- 0:09Speaker 1: Way team onto a win. And obviously things changed rebounding
- 0:12Speaker 1: the ball too in the second half.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know, they're a good team, and
- 0:16Speaker 2: they came out very aggressive and went right at us,
- 0:19Speaker 2: and we took a little bit of a tumble. It
- 0:22Speaker 2: wasn't the issue wasn't on the offensive end as much
- 0:24Speaker 2: as it was on the defensive end in the first half,
- 0:26Speaker 2: and we turned that around in the third quarter and
- 0:28Speaker 2: held them well six points and four of those were
- 0:31Speaker 2: free throws, so we did a really good job in
- 0:32Speaker 2: the third quarter.
- 0:34Speaker 3: What was the game plan or the scouting report coming
- 0:36Speaker 3: in on certain players? I know a lot of times
- 0:38Speaker 3: you you know, put Chin on Bosco or how you
- 0:40Speaker 3: were going to.
- 0:41Speaker 2: Well, obviously Bosco am I saying that it's Beast and
- 0:48Speaker 2: Maddy Weber are their two best players and they do
- 0:51Speaker 2: the majority of their scoring. But coming off of last night,
- 0:53Speaker 2: Matty Burke had scored made a lot of threes last night,
- 0:55Speaker 2: and I thought she was shooting the ball with a
- 0:57Speaker 2: lot of confidence.
- 0:58Speaker 4: So you didn't want to let her get started. She's
- 1:00Speaker 4: kind of a streaky shooter.
- 1:01Speaker 2: But so that was that was really to try to
- 1:04Speaker 2: control and contain Maddie Weber and Basco, who are there
- 1:09Speaker 2: really two terrific players, And then we did, you know,
- 1:13Speaker 2: kind of give and take on the others. And there
- 1:15Speaker 2: were certain guys that we were going to guard and
- 1:16Speaker 2: certain guys that were going to play off of and
- 1:20Speaker 2: some of them, you know, some of them were mistakes
- 1:22Speaker 2: on our parts. Some of them just made shots. There's
- 1:24Speaker 2: no rule that says other teams can't make shots. We
- 1:26Speaker 2: just didn't do a great job.
- 1:28Speaker 4: We made some mental errors.
- 1:31Speaker 2: So that's where kind of where I thought the defensive
- 1:33Speaker 2: letdown was in the first half.
- 1:34Speaker 1: You know, the first part of the second quarter was
- 1:36Speaker 1: back and forth. We had eight lead changes, and then
- 1:39Speaker 1: Page took over becameboard aggressive.
- 1:41Speaker 4: She really did.
- 1:42Speaker 2: It felt like at that point only one player was
- 1:45Speaker 2: playing for us. Everybody else is kind of watching her.
- 1:48Speaker 2: But when she gets in that kind of mode and
- 1:51Speaker 2: and is really aggressive, and we put her in a
- 1:53Speaker 2: two man game either with Jana was setting screens or
- 1:57Speaker 2: with Sarah, she's difficult to guard.
- 2:00Speaker 3: Yeah, it didn't seem like they had an answer for her.
- 2:02Speaker 3: It's just hitting the three, you go defender, and the
- 2:04Speaker 3: next thing she knows, she's getting inside office.
- 2:06Speaker 4: Well, you know, it was interesting. They played lineups today.
- 2:09Speaker 2: I scouted them, So they played lineups today that I
- 2:11Speaker 2: haven't seen that we're matchup issues for us. So like
- 2:14Speaker 2: when we played them the first two times, our matchups
- 2:18Speaker 2: created issues for them.
- 2:19Speaker 4: We would go small, then they'd have to go small.
- 2:21Speaker 2: And in this one they played some people together that
- 2:23Speaker 2: honestly I've never seen on the court. At the same time,
- 2:26Speaker 2: twenty four hasn't played. She didn't play last night, and
- 2:30Speaker 2: so she was in the.
- 2:31Speaker 4: Mix a little bit.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Eight startedge and she didn't start yesterday. I think they
- 2:34Speaker 2: did that because they know it was my scouts, so
- 2:36Speaker 2: they wanted to screw around with me. But so yeah,
- 2:40Speaker 2: so they also, you know, to their credit, they made it.
- 2:42Speaker 2: They're really good coaching staff. They made some adjustments to
- 2:45Speaker 2: try to see what we were gonna do, and it
- 2:47Speaker 2: was kind of a little bit of a chess match
- 2:48Speaker 2: for a little while, and fortunately paid Paige was able to,
- 2:53Speaker 2: you know, I guess, be the queen or the king
- 2:56Speaker 2: and score all those points.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Well, Sarah certainly more than and did her share after
- 3:01Speaker 1: Page got going that it was Sarah got going and
- 3:03Speaker 1: they simply have no answers. But forget the scoring and
- 3:05Speaker 1: the rebounding tips, steel blocks. I mean, she's been so
- 3:09Speaker 1: good at that all year. She's on a hot streak
- 3:11Speaker 1: right now. Let's see the number here, So she had
- 3:14Speaker 1: let's see three more steels today, So twenty four steels
- 3:17Speaker 1: and twenty blocks in the last ten games.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Yeah, she just has a knack. You know, she's got
- 3:23Speaker 2: We've talked about this before. She's got great feat and
- 3:26Speaker 2: great hands, really quickness, and.
- 3:29Speaker 4: It's always fun to watch her play. You know.
- 3:31Speaker 2: It's what because she does a little bit of everything.
- 3:33Speaker 2: A lot of times, when you talk about defensive players
- 3:36Speaker 2: of the year or defensive players that are really good,
- 3:38Speaker 2: they're either shot blockers and shot blockers only, or they're
- 3:41Speaker 2: a guard that defends a lot of perimeter players.
- 3:44Speaker 4: And Sarah does a little bit of everything. She blocks shots, she.
- 3:47Speaker 2: Depends perimeters, she defends in the post, she does everything
- 3:50Speaker 2: from on the defensive end.
- 3:52Speaker 1: When Edmondson had the ball at mid court i think
- 3:54Speaker 1: late third quarter, that had steel written all over it.
- 3:57Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's funny because then it becomes a little
- 4:00Speaker 2: I thought Azy Fudd had a great game today.
- 4:02Speaker 4: I thought her defensive game.
- 4:04Speaker 2: She was very active and got a couple steals, and
- 4:08Speaker 2: just really I think is getting back to where she
- 4:11Speaker 2: was at one point early in this season before she
- 4:13Speaker 2: you know, she injured her knee.
- 4:15Speaker 4: Well whatever you want to call.
- 4:16Speaker 1: That, Chris, So twenty eight years now, thirty win seasons.
- 4:20Speaker 4: Is that right?
- 4:21Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 4:21Speaker 2: I didn't even know what our record was, you know,
- 4:23Speaker 2: when you're a coach, and this is sad. I always
- 4:26Speaker 2: know how many we've lost, but I don't always know how.
- 4:28Speaker 2: I know who went, so I know we were at three, yeah,
- 4:32Speaker 2: but I didn't know what the other one. I knew
- 4:33Speaker 2: it was up there, but I didn't know where it was.
- 4:35Speaker 2: So that's pretty I'm happy for the kids. I'm happy
- 4:38Speaker 2: for you know, it's just a level of consistency, and
- 4:41Speaker 2: that's a reflection of the players and the ones that
- 4:43Speaker 2: come here embrace the challenge and keep winning.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Where does it leave you now that what's the game
- 4:49Speaker 3: prep for tomorrow? Now you know you're playing for another championships?
- 4:52Speaker 2: Well that part right now, we can just enjoy the
- 4:55Speaker 2: part that we're getting there and then figure out, you know,
- 4:57Speaker 2: the who's going to play here? Two different styles, so
- 5:02Speaker 2: it'll be an interesting matchup.
- 5:05Speaker 4: You know either team.
- 5:06Speaker 2: We've played both of them more recently, so I think, well, yeah,
- 5:10Speaker 2: seenahll a little bit earlier than in Creighton. But it'll
- 5:13Speaker 2: be fun. It'd be a good game to watch.
- 5:15Speaker 5: You can kick back or relax. You don't have the
- 5:16Speaker 5: scout for this one.
- 5:17Speaker 4: I did. I'm gonna go eat. I'm starving, all right.
- 5:19Speaker 5: Where are we going tonight for dinner?
- 5:21Speaker 4: I'm not sure? Maybe Jordan's all right.
- 5:23Speaker 5: I think he knows that he did that last night.
- 5:25Speaker 4: Yeah, I couldn't do that last night because some of
- 5:27Speaker 4: us were working.
- 5:29Speaker 5: I understand, So I wasn't eating. I was working, all right.
- 5:32Speaker 5: Always a pleasure to have you with us. Hopefully we'll
- 5:33Speaker 5: see tomorrow.
