1:36
Speaker 1: three game losing streak after dropping a tough eighty six
1:41
Speaker 1: eighty five decision to Missouri last night at Reed Arena
1:47
Speaker 1: before an announced crowd of seventy seven hundred that were
1:52
Speaker 1: fewer than that. The lead changed hands eight times in
1:58
Speaker 1: the last five minutes. The last one was a terrific
2:02
Speaker 1: playout of a timeout on a dunk by Sean Phillips.
2:08
Speaker 1: The Tigers pushed A and M all over the court,
2:11
Speaker 1: out rebounded them by thirteen at sixteen offensive boards, and
2:18
Speaker 1: Zuri looked really good last night. The Aggies have a
2:24
Speaker 1: tough road game at Vanderbilt on Saturday. It won't get
2:30
Speaker 1: any easier. Joe Lombardi has his bracketology out the Aggie's
2:36
Speaker 1: still in the tournament were under the falling category that
2:42
Speaker 1: he has. TCU is the first four out. Texas is
2:48
Speaker 1: a last four in Missouri with their win is a
2:53
Speaker 1: last four win as well. They certainly looked like a
2:58
Speaker 1: tournament team last night.
3:00
Speaker 5: Eight.
3:01
Speaker 1: The Nasmith Basketball Hall of Fame has announced finalists for
3:06
Speaker 1: its election coming up, which will be announced on April fourth,

3:18
Speaker 1: Dick Mada, Doc Rivers, Kelvin Samson. Among the players Blake Griffin,
3:27
Speaker 1: Kevin Johnson, and Buck Williams. Macklin Celebrini was making his
3:35
Speaker 1: debut for Canada, stopped all twenty six shots he faced
3:40
Speaker 1: as the Canadians beat Chechia five to nothing today In
3:45
Speaker 1: hockey at the Olympics, the US, who had two goals
3:49
Speaker 1: overturned in the first period, also hit a crossbar and
3:54
Speaker 1: a post. Finally in the second period broke through with
3:58
Speaker 1: three goals. They lead Latvia four to one just starting
4:03
Speaker 1: the third period. They would play again on Saturday. The
4:08
Speaker 1: IOC has been Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladislav Hariskevitch from competing
4:16
Speaker 1: after Harskevitch refused to take off a helmet that he
4:21
Speaker 1: was wearing that honored athletes killed in Russians evasion invasion
4:28
Speaker 1: of the Ukraine. A and M will have thirteen players
4:32
Speaker 1: at the NFL Draft Combine. That is the most they've
4:37
Speaker 1: ever had. The previous school record was nine. The last
4:41
Speaker 1: one of those was in twenty twenty two. Alabama LSU
4:46
Speaker 1: Ohio State at twelve, eleven and eleven, Jase Besants, Nate Portkircher,
4:53
Speaker 1: Demetrius crownover Casey Concepcioned cash As how Will Lee, Leveovoss,
5:00
Speaker 1: Tayler oyot On, Yiddim Armajheried Adams, Albert Regis Scooby, Williams Tory,
5:07
Speaker 1: and York Trey Zoon all invited to the combine. Closing
5:13
Speaker 1: arguments in the Trinidad Chambliss hearing have ended. Judge Robert
5:18
Speaker 1: Whitwell expected to make a decision.
5:21
Speaker 4: By this afternoon.
5:23
Speaker 1: Chambliss's counsel argued the NC double A acted in bad
5:27
Speaker 1: faith to dying him a medical red shirt in twenty
5:32
Speaker 1: twenty two. The NC double A claimed there was not
5:35
Speaker 1: enough medical evidence. BYU wide receiver Parker Kingston has been
5:42
Speaker 1: charged with one count of first degree felony rape and
5:47
Speaker 1: has being held without bond. Kingston and Utah native played
5:52
Speaker 1: four years with the Cougars was the team's leading receiver.
5:56
Speaker 4: This past year.
5:58
Speaker 1: He was taken into custody after an investigation into a
6:02
Speaker 1: twenty year old woman's report.
6:04
Speaker 4: Of sexual assault.
6:06
Speaker 1: Last February, SMU is moving upcoming home games against Oklahoma
6:13
Speaker 1: and LSU to Jerry World. It will be the first
6:18
Speaker 1: time the Mustangs have played in the Cowboys home stadium.
6:23
Speaker 1: SMU moved to Marquee non conference games for branding and
6:29
Speaker 1: revenue opportunities, meaning Jerry World holds eighty thousand, SMU Stadium
6:36
Speaker 1: holds thirty three thousand. My guess is at Lashley isn't
6:41
Speaker 1: real happy about that, because what that does is that
6:45
Speaker 1: allows a lot of Oklahoma and LSU fans into a
6:50
Speaker 1: stadium that normally they couldn't get tickets too. But hey, revenue,
6:56
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Lunch baseball starts tomorrow for
7:02
Speaker 1: the Aggies. They are at home hosting Tennessee Tech tomorrow
7:09
Speaker 1: evening six o'clock. I believe if I'm not mistaken on
7:15
Speaker 1: that game, and I'm seldom mistaken, the Aggies will play
7:22
Speaker 1: on Saturday and again on Sunday, And is that right, Traye,
7:28
Speaker 1: six o'clock, so we'll have five forty five pregame here
7:32
Speaker 1: on the zone and Rio Hissatune from Japan, who is
7:38
Speaker 1: really good last week shot a ten under sixty two
7:43
Speaker 1: to take the lead at Pebble Beach. This afternoon, we
7:48
Speaker 1: have a Jordan Speith siding who's playing. I believe its
7:52
Speaker 1: spyglass was five under through nine holes. Chris Gottterup, who's
7:57
Speaker 1: been on a roll, was seven under. I believe Scotty
8:01
Speaker 1: was even par. If you'll remember last week, Scotty was
8:07
Speaker 1: ten shots back after the first round and missed the
8:11
Speaker 1: playoff by one.
8:12
Speaker 4: The United States.
8:14
Speaker 1: We need a goal horn man, We need to get
8:16
Speaker 1: us a goal horn. The United States has just scored
8:20
Speaker 1: their fifth goal, seventeen to twenty five remaining in the
8:24
Speaker 1: third period at the Olympics. They lead Latvia by a
8:28
Speaker 1: score of five to one.
8:32
Speaker 4: So USA, USA.
8:36
Speaker 1: Okay, we will take a break. We're going to talk
8:40
Speaker 1: basketball when we come back. That was quite a remarkable game.
8:47
Speaker 1: I thought the Alabama game and it was I think
8:50
Speaker 1: still maybe a hair better. But my gosh, last night,
8:56
Speaker 1: it was a tournament level basketball okay with a few
9:02
Speaker 1: mistakes thrown in which in a one point game, mistakes
9:06
Speaker 1: by either side will be magnified.
9:08

10:49
Speaker 1: right now, it looks pretty good talking gweather. Right now,
10:55
Speaker 1: it looks like twenty degrees warmer than it normally.
10:58
Speaker 4: Is during these aery openers, and I.
11:03
Speaker 1: Think Saturday's game is going to be okay as well.
11:07
Speaker 1: By the evening there is a or by the afternoon.
11:11
Speaker 1: I should say, there is a chance of rain Friday
11:19
Speaker 1: evening into Saturday. And we haven't seen rain around here
11:24
Speaker 1: like I think we're living in Phoenix.
11:28
Speaker 4: It has been a while. We need some rain and
11:33
Speaker 4: we'll see how all that plays out.
11:35
Speaker 1: That system is supposed to be out of here, and
11:39
Speaker 1: that game is Saturday afternoon, and then they will play
11:46
Speaker 1: again at noon on Sunday. Okay, last night, rit Arena.
11:53
Speaker 1: It was kind of everything that I thought it might be.
12:00
Speaker 1: From this standpoint, I knew Missouri had talent. I haven't
12:05
Speaker 1: watched a whole game of Missouri. I had just watched
12:08
Speaker 1: bits and pieces. I did not know how much talent
12:12
Speaker 1: Missouri had. I didn't know how huge Missouri was. I
12:17
Speaker 1: didn't know that there was another team in the SEC
12:21
Speaker 1: that could compete with Florida in terms of size. And
12:28
Speaker 1: my gosh, Missouri is huge. And they took a page out.
12:33
Speaker 1: They watched the Florida tape and took a page out
12:37
Speaker 1: of that. And I knew there was big problems at halftime.
12:45
Speaker 1: If you're a fan and you watch your team hit
12:54
Speaker 1: eleven out of seventeen to three point shots and you're
13:00
Speaker 1: still only up five points, that's a problem.
13:05
Speaker 4: I mean, that's that was an issue.
13:10
Speaker 1: But Missouri shot fifty percent from the field in the
13:13
Speaker 1: first half.
13:14
Speaker 4: They had five.
13:15
Speaker 1: Threes of their own. They're not a great three point
13:17
Speaker 1: shooting team. And then the second half it was just
13:22
Speaker 1: on and again credit to A and M. They got
13:26
Speaker 1: down eight, thought the game was over because A and
13:29
Speaker 1: M led most of the time. The Missouri goes on
13:34
Speaker 1: a run, they get up eight you're going this doesn't
13:38
Speaker 1: this doesn't look good. But A and M comes back,
13:43
Speaker 1: they get a lead. What a play called by Dennis
13:47
Speaker 1: Gates and his staff on the pick and the lob
13:51
Speaker 1: for the slam for the go ahead bucket, and A
13:56
Speaker 1: and M could not answer in the last four seconds,
14:00
Speaker 1: so they could beat eighty six eighty five. Like I said,
14:06
Speaker 1: Missouri looked like a tournament team last night. They were impressive.
14:11
Speaker 1: Trent Pearce was impressive. Sean Phillips, Barrett the guard, they
14:18
Speaker 1: were pretty dang good. They had sixteen offensive rebounds to
14:22
Speaker 1: eight for A and M. Here is Bucky after the game.
14:27
Speaker 9: Really tough loss, man, We really really you knew that'd
14:30
Speaker 9: be a tough game via a hard fall game, probably
14:32
Speaker 9: come down the last four minutes, and it did nothing surprising.
14:35
Speaker 5: They are.
14:37
Speaker 9: You know. I didn't feel good at halftime when we
14:41
Speaker 9: shot a great percentage from the field and from three
14:44
Speaker 9: we found ourselves.
14:45
Speaker 5: Up by five points.
14:46
Speaker 9: We couldn't stop there and we couldn't combat their size.
14:51
Speaker 9: I don't know if I've coached a game where we've
14:52
Speaker 9: literally tried as many things on defense as we did
14:55
Speaker 9: to stop them and still couldn't.
14:56
Speaker 5: I mean, we went from man.
15:00
Speaker 9: Switching it one through four and man switching one through
15:04
Speaker 9: five and man switching it with just with the guards.
15:06
Speaker 9: Then we went to zone, and we went zone to man.
15:10
Speaker 5: Then we went.
15:10
Speaker 9: Pressed no trapped, and pressed trapped, then diamond Lately. We
15:15
Speaker 9: tried everything in that game to stop those guys from
15:17
Speaker 9: getting buckets at the rim to get the game in
15:20
Speaker 9: our favor, and we couldn't. I mean, they scored fifty
15:24
Speaker 9: six points in the paint, so I mean, that's that's tough.
15:28
Speaker 9: We knew that they made seven threes in the game,
15:30
Speaker 9: I believe, or let's see what they made seven threes
15:32
Speaker 9: in the game. They made two in the second half,
15:35
Speaker 9: and you know, it still came down the possession offense.
15:38
Speaker 5: But I thought were actually pretty good.
15:39
Speaker 9: We got good shots, went four for sixteen from three
15:41
Speaker 9: the second half when we had great looks the second half.
15:44
Speaker 9: I know we could say we shot forty five percent
15:46
Speaker 9: from three, but I would expect us to shoot at
15:48
Speaker 9: least that, But with a lot of the looks that
15:49
Speaker 9: we did have. They're really big, so I don't want
15:53
Speaker 9: to negate that.
15:54
Speaker 5: Like we're not. I mean they're average height.
15:57
Speaker 9: It's taller than our tallest starter, which is six to seven,
15:59
Speaker 9: so they're going to get some offensive rebounds, they're going
16:01
Speaker 9: to get somewhe.
16:02
Speaker 5: Around the paint. Was just it was just too much.
16:05
Speaker 5: When you have one one point loss, you go back.
16:08
Speaker 9: A lot of people just look at the last possession
16:10
Speaker 9: or the last forty five seconds, and there's things we
16:14
Speaker 9: could have done better. We're trying to get it Rashawan
16:16
Speaker 9: in the possession before where we take it three. That
16:18
Speaker 9: a good job of wrapping up denying them. But the
16:21
Speaker 9: truth is, man, when you look at basketball one point games,
16:24
Speaker 9: you can always go back and look at the totality
16:26
Speaker 9: of the game and think what could we have done
16:28
Speaker 9: to not allow one point or to score one more point?
16:31
Speaker 9: And unfortunately, I think we'll look back and we may
16:33
Speaker 9: see a miss block out here. They are not enough
16:35
Speaker 9: scrap for a rebound, not enough scrap to get our
16:38
Speaker 9: hands on the ball, eric turnover. And if that happened
16:42
Speaker 9: the last possession, body's walking out of here talking about it.
16:45
Speaker 9: If it happened the first possession, no one remembers it.
16:47
Speaker 9: But they're equal is important, so anyway, moving forward, it
16:51
Speaker 9: is what it is. No one's gonna feel sorry for
16:52
Speaker 9: us in this league. It is what this league is
16:56
Speaker 9: this is what it is. Close games. Good teams as
16:59
Speaker 9: the Tens one four the last six beat the Gay
17:01
Speaker 9: Florida one of their only loss, is more than capable
17:03
Speaker 9: and obviously they got us tonight.
17:06
Speaker 5: What did you like from Clement's tonight?
17:09
Speaker 9: Played with confidence, played really hard, played with a little
17:11
Speaker 9: reckless abandon obviously shot the ball well, and he was
17:16
Speaker 9: a matchup problem when they switched, and he was able
17:18
Speaker 9: to get in the post and get some buckets when
17:20
Speaker 9: we when we had to have them.
17:22
Speaker 10: Let's see with him, what's your how do you process
17:25
Speaker 10: through having a guy who's on a heater like that
17:28
Speaker 10: but also has four thousand You know it's going to
17:30
Speaker 10: be a one possession.
17:31
Speaker 5: Game with all the points in the We just had
17:33
Speaker 5: to roll with him. I didn't think.
17:37
Speaker 9: Some of our other guys weren't played didn't play as
17:38
Speaker 9: well tonight, and so we had to just go with him.
17:41
Speaker 5: And then if he filed out, he filed out, you know.
17:43
Speaker 9: So he was actually doing the small things pretty good.
17:46
Speaker 9: We had some guys that didn't work doing the small
17:49
Speaker 9: play a little bit more, that weren't doing the small.
17:51
Speaker 5: Things very well tonight, So we need to keep him
17:55
Speaker 5: in there.
17:55
Speaker 9: As long as we could that seven eight minutes stretch
17:58
Speaker 9: in the second half where y'all to make a shot.
18:00
Speaker 11: What went wrong?
18:01
Speaker 1: Was that just getting cold after getting really hot in.
18:04
Speaker 5: The first or was there something defensively differently? It was
18:09
Speaker 5: not too much different.
18:10
Speaker 9: We had some good looks throughout that stretch that we missed.
18:15
Speaker 9: You know, I told our guys, just like in the
18:17
Speaker 9: in the Florida game, don't get antsy on defense here,
18:20
Speaker 9: stay solid, don't just try to go hit a home
18:22
Speaker 9: run when we get down and three guys run at
18:24
Speaker 9: the ball. And then on office. You got to trust
18:27
Speaker 9: each other, you know. There were some times we could
18:29
Speaker 9: have pitched the ball at the floor. We did it,
18:31
Speaker 9: you know, which I didn't like to see. But we
18:34
Speaker 9: got back right to trusting each other. We we made another,
18:37
Speaker 9: made another run. Offense won the problem tonight. Shoot and
18:41
Speaker 9: fifty percent from the field, not having more than ten
18:43
Speaker 9: turnovers forty six percent from three, eighty percent from the
18:46
Speaker 9: free throw line usually is gonna get it done for
18:49
Speaker 9: you if if you can.
18:50
Speaker 5: Find ways to stop them.
18:51
Speaker 9: But we just, uh, you know, we didn't do a
18:54
Speaker 9: good job to stopping them.
18:55
Speaker 11: To your point about defense, just what's coming through your
18:58
Speaker 11: mind when you're throwing the kitchen sink at them per
19:00
Speaker 11: se and trying all different thingstphan's working, and we just
19:04
Speaker 11: re kind of at a loss that that whatever you
19:07
Speaker 11: guys were trying, nothing seemed to work.
19:10
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, and then how even when we did
19:13
Speaker 9: play good defense, they get it. They had a great
19:14
Speaker 9: opportunity to get offense. Really that had sixteen offensive rebounds.
19:17
Speaker 9: Some of that were blocking out some of us because
19:19
Speaker 9: their size, But you know, that was an issue. You know,
19:23
Speaker 9: at the end of the day, some of these teams
19:25
Speaker 9: with size, it's not really about and they got it.
19:28
Speaker 9: They were a nice lot play late and they're not
19:30
Speaker 9: negating the.
19:31
Speaker 5: Good things they run, but eventually they just kind.
19:33
Speaker 9: Of spread freight out and we're gonna put our head
19:34
Speaker 9: down and we're gonna drive you guys feel over taller
19:37
Speaker 9: than you're bigger than you.
19:38
Speaker 5: And we don't we don't feel you could stop us
19:40
Speaker 5: one on one.
19:41
Speaker 9: And sometimes we did, but a lot of times we didn't.
19:45
Speaker 5: And and that was an issue.
19:47
Speaker 10: Would you'd like to have seen Rashaan get the ball
19:49
Speaker 10: in his hands a little bit more than The second
19:51
Speaker 10: effort was that they're doing a good job of denying
19:53
Speaker 10: him late.
19:56
Speaker 9: You know, you always want to get the ball in
19:58
Speaker 9: Sean's hands. We try to get it to him the
19:59
Speaker 9: position before we were up one with the ball. We
20:02
Speaker 9: didn't do a good job of getting in the ball
20:04
Speaker 9: in the block right there.
20:05
Speaker 5: We didn't. We just couldn't get it to them.
20:07
Speaker 9: But you know, I think if you go back and
20:10
Speaker 9: you look at the shots in the second half, for
20:11
Speaker 9: the most part.
20:13
Speaker 5: Pretty good.
20:13
Speaker 9: I bet you'll say they're pretty good for an SEC
20:15
Speaker 9: basketball game. I really do, so whatever that means, you know,
20:19
Speaker 9: I mean, went eleven for seventeen from three to the
20:21
Speaker 9: first half, went four for sixteen in the second half,
20:24
Speaker 9: where the three is much better in one half. We'll
20:27
Speaker 9: go back and look. But if I had to guess,
20:29
Speaker 9: they probably weren't that different, you know what I'm saying.
20:33
Speaker 9: So it's what the game called for. Now, they're huge,
20:36
Speaker 9: So the advantage is not probably at the rim of
20:37
Speaker 9: that game, and it probably is from the outside.
20:40
Speaker 5: Can probably been.
20:40
Speaker 10: There's not that many games in your career where y'all
20:44
Speaker 10: average one point three points per possession, and so it's
20:47
Speaker 10: a close game and the loss that that's kind of
20:49
Speaker 10: a little bit of anomally.
20:50
Speaker 5: Yeah, that did happen very often, you know, at all.
20:52
Speaker 9: And that's why I said it's about it's about stops,
20:55
Speaker 9: and we just couldn't couldn't find find stops. Every possessions magnified.
21:00
Speaker 9: It's a turnover, you know or not. You know, it's
21:06
Speaker 9: magnified in games like that when it's one point game,
21:08
Speaker 9: when you go back and you look at it and.
21:09
Speaker 3: You shoot that well in the first half and then
21:11
Speaker 3: you're only up five, what's the message to the guys
21:14
Speaker 3: at halftime.
21:15
Speaker 9: We'll win this game if we don't play a lot
21:17
Speaker 9: more physical and are able to stop them for get
21:19
Speaker 9: points at the room.
21:20
Speaker 5: No chance to win the.
21:20
Speaker 9: Game if that doesn't change, because we couldn't skill wise,
21:25
Speaker 9: couldn't have played much better better in the game on offense.
21:29
Speaker 12: Sorry, Oh, I'm just gonna ask what do you think
21:32
Speaker 12: made them so difficult to defend.
21:34
Speaker 10: In the paint?
21:35
Speaker 5: I think their size. Obviously, they're very big, you know.
21:38
Speaker 9: I mean they start three guys pretty much six ten
21:41
Speaker 9: or higher, you know, so that's a problem. They're good drivers,
21:47
Speaker 9: they played their strengths well, you know, so we're hoping
21:52
Speaker 9: to have a cumultive wear down on They don't play
21:54
Speaker 9: a lot of guys. They did a good job and
21:55
Speaker 9: taking care of the ball for the most part. I
21:59
Speaker 9: thought maybe we had to say, Sarah, we made our
22:00
Speaker 9: run back where they were a little tired.
22:02
Speaker 5: We were a little tired, but.
22:03
Speaker 9: You know, we're scoring right back in the game, so
22:06
Speaker 9: you know, size and then they got clear to what
22:08
Speaker 9: they're doing.
22:10
Speaker 13: We're all for y'all.
22:12
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's what do you say to the guys.
22:18
Speaker 4: I mean, you've lost three in a row and that's.
22:21
Speaker 5: Not obviously not good. Two of them are by a
22:23
Speaker 5: total of four points. Yeah, you know, what do you
22:26
Speaker 5: say to the guys after after one like this?
22:28
Speaker 9: I thought we played well at Alabama, thought we played
22:30
Speaker 9: well on both sides of Baldawm Alabama though they scored
22:32
Speaker 9: one hundred. We probably did what we had to do
22:34
Speaker 9: this game. You know, I felt I didn't think we
22:36
Speaker 9: played good our Florida this game. I felt that we
22:39
Speaker 9: will find things on this tape where we could have
22:41
Speaker 9: took a possession away with sheer physicality or scrap you
22:47
Speaker 9: know what I'm saying. I think that we could find
22:48
Speaker 9: a possession there, you know, not not about a mishot,
22:51
Speaker 9: you could we.
22:53
Speaker 5: Think that that was the play that were going to
22:55
Speaker 5: run there.
22:55
Speaker 3: The one thing.
22:57
Speaker 5: We don't know.
22:58
Speaker 9: All we said was we you they're gonna drive this
23:01
Speaker 9: thing to the They're gonna try to score this thing
23:03
Speaker 9: at the rim. You know, we knew that we made
23:06
Speaker 9: a mistake. We should have bumped the backstreen and they
23:08
Speaker 9: went the same play twice in a row. For the
23:09
Speaker 9: most part, we went two lobs in a row, didn't
23:11
Speaker 9: bump the backscreen.
23:12
Speaker 5: So you know, it is what it is. We said
23:14
Speaker 5: before that they scored, We're not gonna take a time out.
23:16
Speaker 9: We're gonna play out two hoigh ball screens play out.
23:18
Speaker 9: We got a pretty good look at it. But you know, again,
23:22
Speaker 9: it uh scored at the rim, you know what I'm saying,
23:25
Speaker 9: And we can't we can't allow that. I don't care
23:27
Speaker 9: what happens, they can't score it at the rim in
23:29
Speaker 9: a one point game.
23:30
Speaker 11: No, we've asked you about Rubin recently, but just another
23:33
Speaker 11: tough night for him shooting just leave you guys kind
23:37
Speaker 11: of found anything that that he's kind of had just
23:39
Speaker 11: a little bit of a tough time with and trying
23:41
Speaker 11: to remedy there.
23:42
Speaker 9: Yeah, shooters, I mean they you know, there's obviously ebbs
23:45
Speaker 9: and flows with it, you know, maybe a little tired,
23:48
Speaker 9: you know, maybe to get a little bit more rest here.
23:52
Speaker 9: I wouldn't overthink it for him. I think he'll be
23:54
Speaker 9: back and you know, may make nine threes next game.
23:57
Speaker 9: But you know, obviously he's a threat that uh you know,
24:01
Speaker 9: when he's when he's on track, it will really help us.
24:04
Speaker 11: You feel like they did a little better at being
24:06
Speaker 11: less antsy.
24:08
Speaker 9: We had a stretch there where I don't know that
24:12
Speaker 9: and I got it.
24:13
Speaker 5: It was unfortunate.
24:14
Speaker 9: We're in the second half where Sean kind of stays
24:16
Speaker 9: up there on the miss and we're going back and
24:19
Speaker 9: Ryland falls down. We had two buckets we gave up
24:21
Speaker 9: in transition. We just kind of fell down, you know,
24:23
Speaker 9: and they would and racked it. So, you know, I
24:26
Speaker 9: hope there wasn't more to that. The wasn't a reason
24:28
Speaker 9: we fell down. We're running uphen we shouldn't be. But
24:30
Speaker 9: we we did a good job of staying patient when
24:32
Speaker 9: they had the lead and playing team basketball when they
24:35
Speaker 9: had the lead. That's what got us back in the
24:37
Speaker 9: game and eventually got it to take a lead.
24:39
Speaker 5: Say this, I appreciate the the fans were coming tonight.
24:41
Speaker 9: They were good. We felt to fault with us all
24:44
Speaker 9: the way there, and you know they had an impact
24:47
Speaker 9: on the game, that's for sure. It's Wednesday night, eight
24:49
Speaker 9: o'clock game, and we really appreciate them. You know, we'll
24:53
Speaker 9: have a lot of these. It is what it is,
24:56
Speaker 9: sec man, it's they couldn't go either way. But the
24:58
Speaker 9: great party is you got great opportunities every night here
25:00
Speaker 9: to make up for it.
25:02
Speaker 5: But we appreciate everybody. Thank you all.
25:04
Speaker 1: It's Bucky and you know you knew the crowd was
25:09
Speaker 1: going to be different than it was against Florida, right,
25:13
Speaker 1: it was probably half as many people in the building.
25:18
Speaker 1: That's not what got A and M b But in
25:21
Speaker 1: a one point game, maybe two thousand more students would
25:25
Speaker 1: have made the difference. But A and M got out physical,
25:29
Speaker 1: not just and Bucky mentioned that, not just because of
25:34
Speaker 1: the height. They just got pushed around. I thought. And
25:42
Speaker 1: you know, Zach Clements had a great offensive game, no question,
25:45
Speaker 1: eight out of ten from the field, three out of
25:48
Speaker 1: four from threes. But you look at the stat line.
25:52
Speaker 1: You know, Zach Clement's a tall guy. We had three boards.
25:58
Speaker 1: You got to get more than that from him. Jamie Vincent,
26:02
Speaker 1: who played early, didn't play a lot late. You know,
26:07
Speaker 1: his height could help, which was one of the reasons
26:11
Speaker 1: Clements came in. He had two boards, and both of
26:16
Speaker 1: those guys really got pushed around at the rim by Missouri.
26:20
Speaker 4: They were just.
26:23
Speaker 1: Not strong enough, not physical enough. You have a seven
26:29
Speaker 1: foot guy there, he's got to have more than two rebounds,
26:33
Speaker 1: and if he had would have had more than two rebounds,
26:36
Speaker 1: he would have played more than you know, eight minutes
26:39
Speaker 1: that he played. Federico's deep on the bench, not saying
26:43
Speaker 1: he shouldn't be hasn't been good. He's a big guy, right,
26:49
Speaker 1: his presence would have helped if we were seeing the
26:53
Speaker 1: same player we saw in Lubbock, and we're not seeing
26:55
Speaker 1: the same player pop Isaac's He didn't play any down
26:59
Speaker 1: the stretch at all. He was one for five and
27:07
Speaker 1: had zero rebounds. They they just got pushed around, and
27:17
Speaker 1: that's that. I think that was the toughest part of
27:20
Speaker 1: the whole thing. And you know, Missouri is a team
27:26
Speaker 1: that's you're gonna have to reckon with them. They're not consistent.
27:34
Speaker 1: The man they host Texas on Saturday, Texas doesn't have
27:41
Speaker 1: a lot of hype either.
27:42
Speaker 4: They've got the big guy.
27:46
Speaker 1: Other than that, they don't have a lot inside, So
27:55
Speaker 1: keep a close eye on that. Missouri has to keep winning.
27:58
Speaker 1: Taxes has to win. They're like a last four in.
28:01
Speaker 1: Missouri's now a last four out. But last night that
28:06
Speaker 1: was a tournament team. I don't care which say. I
28:08
Speaker 1: watched a lot of basketball. They were good. But A
28:14
Speaker 1: and them's got to be more physical somehow. I mean,
28:16
Speaker 1: they've got to.
28:17
Speaker 4: And they have to get the ball.
28:19
Speaker 1: And the question was asked about Rashwan ag at every game,
28:25
Speaker 1: he's just like the lone ranger in the paint right
28:30
Speaker 1: trying to fight off all those big guys. He only
28:33
Speaker 1: got five shots. He made four of them. My thought
28:38
Speaker 1: is maybe he should have gotten ten shots. Now, that
28:41
Speaker 1: last play wasn't great, No doubt they were packed in there.
28:49
Speaker 1: It wasn't great because it didn't work that it worked.
28:51
Speaker 1: It a great play. Missouri made a great play with
28:57
Speaker 1: six seconds after However, time it will on that screen
29:01
Speaker 1: and the alley. U. But thing is in this league
29:07
Speaker 1: now you gotta flush it. You got Vanderbilt. You got
29:10
Speaker 1: to go to Nashville, play in a place that is
29:13
Speaker 1: historically difficult to play just because it's weird. You know,
29:18
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily the fans are that loud or you know,
29:22
Speaker 1: it's one of those places. It's just a weird gym
29:26
Speaker 1: to play in. And historically Vanderbilt has done very well.
29:31
Speaker 1: They're coming off a win at Auburn and seem to
29:35
Speaker 1: be getting their footing back. You have A and M Vanderbilt, Alabama, Missouri,
29:44
Speaker 1: and Tennessee all at seven and four. That's one game
29:50
Speaker 1: behind Arkansas and Kentucky in two games back of Florida.
29:55
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna have a high school report coming up.
29:58
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from Missouri head coach Tennis Gates coming
30:02
Speaker 1: out as well. And gentlemen, we're sitting at forty eight
30:08

30:14

Speaker 17: points settled found this.
33:05
Speaker 18: Welcome into the high School Report. I'm calib Brapley, and
33:07
Speaker 18: today we're jumping out to the Players Fund Center phone
33:09
Speaker 18: line to visit with the head coach of the Brian
33:13
Speaker 18: Lady Vikings softball team. Miss Melissa Campbell, coach, thanks for
33:16
Speaker 18: joining me today.
33:17
Speaker 15: Of course, thanks for having me absolutely.
33:20
Speaker 18: So your Vikings started off their season officially on Tuesday
33:25
Speaker 18: with the fourteen to ten win over the Rudder Rangers.
33:29
Speaker 18: I know that's always fun to start out the season
33:32
Speaker 18: with a local rival opponent. So what are your thoughts
33:36
Speaker 18: on your team this year as opposed to the last
33:38
Speaker 18: year's squad and how do you think they did against Rutter.
33:42
Speaker 15: Well last night, we definitely made our Rudder game pretty exciting.
33:45
Speaker 15: We have a fairly young team this year. We have
33:47
Speaker 15: three seniors returning, so we have a good mixture of seniors, junior, sophomore,
33:51
Speaker 15: and freshman. I'm really excited. We've got some help in
33:54
Speaker 15: the pitching department this year with a couple of freshmen
33:56
Speaker 15: that are coming in that can help out our pitching rotations.
33:59
Speaker 15: So I'm really excited for that and just to kind
34:02
Speaker 15: of see what happens in the season. We're a small team,
34:04
Speaker 15: but we're all bought in together on what we need
34:06
Speaker 15: to do and take care of business, so I'm excited
34:08
Speaker 15: to see what happens.
34:10
Speaker 18: So last year was a bit of a tough season,
34:13
Speaker 18: sixth place in the district. What are your thoughts on
34:16
Speaker 18: how you can improve this year.
34:17
Speaker 15: I definitely think there's a room for growth. Last year
34:20
Speaker 15: we just had a hard heard. We've been a hard
34:22
Speaker 15: deck because we had one pitcher for all of our
34:26
Speaker 15: district games, Brenda Scott, and she did everything in her
34:29
Speaker 15: power to try to get us some wins. But when
34:31
Speaker 15: you just don't have anybody to rotate in, it makes
34:33
Speaker 15: it hard. And we're also in a pretty tough district.
34:36
Speaker 15: So I think that us coming in with kind of
34:38
Speaker 15: a fresh mindset of being all in for each other,
34:41
Speaker 15: going to the plate and producing, going all out on defense,
34:44
Speaker 15: being all in on each other, and having the help
34:46
Speaker 15: in the pitching department. Like I said, I think we're
34:49
Speaker 15: going to have a pretty competitive year going up against
34:51
Speaker 15: some district opponents, and I'm really hoping to upset some people.
34:55
Speaker 18: This weekend is the NFCA Leadoff Classic Tournament, playing a
35:00
Speaker 18: few games against a variety of opponents, Lorena Shadow, Creek,
35:04
Speaker 18: and Cameron Yo.
35:05
Speaker 5: So what are your thoughts.
35:06
Speaker 18: What are your thoughts going into this tournament.
35:08
Speaker 15: I think it'll be a good competitive showing for us.
35:12
Speaker 15: This tournament always kind of brings a little mixture of
35:14
Speaker 15: everybody in I like playing people that aren't necessarily local,
35:18
Speaker 15: just so we can get a different view, have some
35:21
Speaker 15: different views of pitchers, see what some other teams can do,
35:24
Speaker 15: and just go out there and compete, because that's all
35:25
Speaker 15: this is. All these tournaments and pre district games, they're
35:28
Speaker 15: just all warm ups for districts. So I'm hoping we
35:31
Speaker 15: can go and learn and grow and hopefully come out
35:33
Speaker 15: with a couple of wins and just go out there
35:36
Speaker 15: and compete and show what we've got.
35:38
Speaker 18: So you mentioned tough district, just you know, same teams
35:42
Speaker 18: as last year. It will get shaken up a little bit,
35:46
Speaker 18: I'm guessing next season. But yes, both of the Kaleen
35:50
Speaker 18: schools in there, Coppers, Cove, Harker Heights, Temple, and Midway
35:53
Speaker 18: out of Waco. So who do you think might be
35:56
Speaker 18: the district favorite and some of the teams that you're
35:58
Speaker 18: going to be competing with.
36:00
Speaker 15: I mean, Midway always has a really strong and successful program.
36:03
Speaker 15: I mean they proved that by going to winning state
36:05
Speaker 15: last year, so they're always definitely a huge contender. Cove
36:09
Speaker 15: as well, They've got they've got some returners that are
36:12
Speaker 15: coming back this year that I'll definitely give everybody a
36:15
Speaker 15: run for their money. But all the rest of the
36:16
Speaker 15: teams in our district are super scrappy, They're really competitive.
36:20
Speaker 15: They kind of we all push each other and we
36:23
Speaker 15: always have play really good games against all those other schools.
36:26
Speaker 15: So it's like I said, it's it's a tough district.
36:29
Speaker 15: We all come to compete and we all push each other.
36:31
Speaker 15: But yeah, I mean it's just one of those districts
36:35
Speaker 15: where there is no off days.
36:37
Speaker 18: You mentioned earlier, a young team this year, so having
36:41
Speaker 18: to replace some some seniors and playing some younger kids,
36:46
Speaker 18: which is always you know, interesting and leaves a lot
36:49
Speaker 18: of room for growth and improvement. Who is somebody that
36:52
Speaker 18: you've been impressed with, you know, early in the season
36:54
Speaker 18: here that's stepped up as a young player to fill
36:57
Speaker 18: that role.
36:59
Speaker 15: So last night Lily cashtro she's one of our freshman pictures.
37:02
Speaker 15: She went into pitch against Rudder a little shaky in
37:05
Speaker 15: the start, but kind of definitely found a rhythm. She
37:07
Speaker 15: was able to think strikeout four or five, so kind
37:11
Speaker 15: of got her feet wet is first varsity game out
37:13
Speaker 15: we have Conley Porter. She holds it down behind the plate.
37:16
Speaker 15: She's also a freshman. She can play catcher or third,
37:20
Speaker 15: and she's kind of coming up. She's getting used to
37:23
Speaker 15: high school ball and the competitiveness of it. But then everybody,
37:27
Speaker 15: like I said, everybody pulls their weight on this team.
37:29
Speaker 15: We have a young sophomore or Sally Martinez, who's playing
37:32
Speaker 15: second base for US this year. She's got a really
37:34
Speaker 15: good glove. Our returning shortstop, Addison Sanchez, she's definitely grown
37:38
Speaker 15: into a leader, and she's a sophomore as well. And
37:41
Speaker 15: then our juniors hold it down as well, So it's
37:43
Speaker 15: definitely a full team effort. Trinity Rush had an amazing
37:46
Speaker 15: game last night at the plate. She's a returning senior.
37:49
Speaker 15: She had a triple, a double, an to think a
37:51
Speaker 15: single last night. So it's definitely a full team effort.
37:55
Speaker 1: There.
37:56
Speaker 15: There is no there is no off inning, there is
37:58
Speaker 15: no off play like everybody pools or wait the entire time.
38:01
Speaker 15: So I'm really pleased with all the output that we've
38:03
Speaker 15: had so far. Granted we've had one game. There's a
38:05
Speaker 15: lot of still room for growth, so I'm just kind
38:07
Speaker 15: of excited to see where we can get to by district.
38:10
Speaker 18: So we're here in the early part of February, got
38:13
Speaker 18: the whole season in front of you. What does success
38:16
Speaker 18: look like for the Vikings in twenty twenty six. What
38:19
Speaker 18: are some of your goals.
38:21
Speaker 15: Some of our goals. Obviously, playoffs is always a goal.
38:25
Speaker 15: Being very realistic, got those expectations, and beating the teams
38:28
Speaker 15: that we know we can beat, and competing against the
38:30
Speaker 15: teams that we know we can maybe have an upset,
38:33
Speaker 15: So playoffs is always a goal. I think having more
38:36
Speaker 15: wins than last year is definitely a goal for us
38:38
Speaker 15: as well. We've done a lot of work in the
38:41
Speaker 15: team bonding and togetherness departments, so I feel like there's
38:44
Speaker 15: so much growth there that it can only start resulting
38:47
Speaker 15: on the field of us just being all in bought together.
38:51
Speaker 15: Like I said, we're led by a really group, great
38:53
Speaker 15: group of seniors. They're my first group that I've had
38:55
Speaker 15: all four years, so they really are like some of
38:58
Speaker 15: the building blocks of this program, and I'm hoping that
39:01
Speaker 15: this last year for them, we can go out and
39:03
Speaker 15: surprise some people and just have a great year altogether.
39:07
Speaker 18: All right, Coach, Well that's all I have for you today.
39:09

43:45
Speaker 1: I mentioned that we are going to hear from the
43:49
Speaker 1: Missouri coach last night.
43:52
Speaker 4: Here's Dennis Gates.
43:55
Speaker 12: Extremely proud of our guys and every detail of execution
43:59
Speaker 12: that they followed. It could have gotten a little hectic
44:03
Speaker 12: against the pressing team, and most of the time, presses
44:07
Speaker 12: are meant to disrupt the connection between players and coaches,
44:12
Speaker 12: and our guys didn't let that happen to be able
44:15
Speaker 12: to end the.
44:15
Speaker 5: Game with nine turnovers.
44:17
Speaker 12: Specifically, and give them credit, they turned us over a
44:21
Speaker 12: couple of times, but to end the game with nine turnovers,
44:24
Speaker 12: that was one of our goals twenty one assists. I
44:28
Speaker 12: didn't want our guys at all to fall in love
44:31
Speaker 12: with the three point line, as I knew they were
44:33
Speaker 12: scorching hot in that first half, going to eleven for seventeen,
44:37
Speaker 12: So I said, guys, at halftime.
44:39
Speaker 5: They'll double their threes.
44:41
Speaker 12: I want us to divide our threes bout two and
44:45
Speaker 12: divide it.
44:46
Speaker 5: And we divided it.
44:47
Speaker 12: We only took about six or seven threes in that
44:49
Speaker 12: second half, and we just was able to maximize our
44:52
Speaker 12: efforts and the paint and get back to.
44:54
Speaker 5: What belonged to us.
44:55
Speaker 12: Sean Phillips executed the game winning basket after that time
44:59
Speaker 12: out to a It worked before, but he hit his
45:02
Speaker 12: elbow on the rim with his athleticism, and that trajected
45:06
Speaker 12: the ball or deflected the ball and caused the miss.
45:09
Speaker 12: But our guys executed everything they needed to. I'm proud
45:13
Speaker 12: of our group.
45:14
Speaker 16: Questions for coaching, well, coach, you know, defensively, what do
45:18
Speaker 16: you feel like was the biggest difference between the first
45:21
Speaker 16: and the second half?
45:22
Speaker 5: For you guys?
45:24
Speaker 12: Their basket closed up. They were scorching hot in that
45:26
Speaker 12: first half. Man, and we knew we had the matrix
45:29
Speaker 12: on our side. You take away those those those eleven
45:32
Speaker 12: out of there. I think she's what was eleven out
45:37
Speaker 12: of their seventeen baskets was from three, So I knew
45:40
Speaker 12: from a statistical standpoint, and I told our team, don't
45:44
Speaker 12: change what you're doing. And by golly, they ended up
45:48
Speaker 12: driving the ball a little bit more, but they still
45:50
Speaker 12: settled for their threes without the paint touches Age's and
45:55
Speaker 12: I'm proud of a g man.
45:57
Speaker 5: I'm from.
45:57
Speaker 12: I'm from Chicago. I'm from I'm from the same city
46:00
Speaker 12: he's from. If you guys knew his story, you would understand.
46:04
Speaker 12: And he's a heck of a player. I've seen him
46:08
Speaker 12: ever since he was a freshman in high school, and
46:10
Speaker 12: he's grown up and has done a great job. His
46:13
Speaker 12: leadership speaks values for this team and he's their heartbeat.
46:17
Speaker 12: But you look at his baskets in that first half,
46:20
Speaker 12: and now you look at him in the second half.
46:23
Speaker 12: If he would have gave us a lot more trouble,
46:25
Speaker 12: if he would have had more touches. But you know
46:28
Speaker 12: the game and the ball bounces the way it does.
46:32
Speaker 11: What do you feel like? You know you guys were
46:36
Speaker 11: able to do on that last play and mitigate him
46:39
Speaker 11: getting the ball.
46:40
Speaker 5: Well, we wanted Sean.
46:42
Speaker 12: We knew they were going to try to take Sean
46:43
Speaker 12: away from the basket against our Georgia game. Sean really
46:47
Speaker 12: beats himself up because he gave up a layup a
46:50
Speaker 12: game win, a layup at.
46:51
Speaker 5: Home against Georgia.
46:52
Speaker 12: So we put him in that same situation and he
46:55
Speaker 12: was able to get a deflection with his size, his athleticism,
46:59
Speaker 12: and the referees allowed the guys to play in the
47:02
Speaker 12: last two They didn't call a file for Mark Mitchell.
47:04
Speaker 12: On the other end, they didn't call a file for
47:06
Speaker 12: ag They let the players decide the game.
47:09
Speaker 5: And that's what it's about.
47:10
Speaker 12: I'm just happy our guys were able to get the
47:12
Speaker 12: loose ball the way that they did and ultimately our
47:17
Speaker 12: defense won it. We were able to get up eight
47:19
Speaker 12: in that in that or seven in that second half
47:23
Speaker 12: with about twelve minutes, but they fought back, and our
47:25
Speaker 12: guys didn't didn't blink, They didn't didn't break. We may
47:28
Speaker 12: have been in a little bit, but we didn't break.
47:32
Speaker 9: Were you anticipating that they to look for Rae Last?
47:35
Speaker 5: Absolutely? We knew exactly what they were going to do.
47:38
Speaker 12: Uh, And we called it out from the standpoint because
47:41
Speaker 12: I would have done the same thing from a coaching
47:43
Speaker 12: perspective if you need two and you're and you're down one.
47:47
Speaker 5: Absolutely, it was.
47:48
Speaker 12: A catch for a g a fake handoff and he
47:51
Speaker 12: was gonna drive. So we kind of knew what was
47:53
Speaker 12: going on, especially when they put their two guards. That
47:56
Speaker 12: confirmed it when they put their two guards away to
47:59
Speaker 12: allow him to have that entire side of the court.
48:02
Speaker 12: But our guys in our huddle spoke about that same place.
48:06
Speaker 12: So when you have your players telling the coaches exactly
48:09
Speaker 12: what's gonna go on, they they knew and I knew
48:13
Speaker 12: we had a chance to get a stop at that.
48:15
Speaker 12: You know, it was a great game and an old
48:17
Speaker 12: fashioned SEC blowout.
48:21
Speaker 15: Coach.
48:22
Speaker 11: Obviously, Phillips came up with the two plays at the
48:24
Speaker 11: end of the game. How have you seen him grow
48:27
Speaker 11: throughout this season.
48:29
Speaker 4: In your start, Sean has.
48:33
Speaker 5: Jumped leaps and bounds.
48:36
Speaker 12: Due to his environment and the infectious personality, the ability
48:42
Speaker 12: for his teammates to allow him to be himself. He's
48:46
Speaker 12: a very respectful young man, one with a tough pass,
48:50
Speaker 12: the trouble pass man. And when I say trouble, his
48:53
Speaker 12: upbringing wasn't great. But to know that he rolls up
48:57
Speaker 12: out of that and he allows himself, trust with his
49:01
Speaker 12: coaching staff, trust with his teammates. That's the only thing
49:04
Speaker 12: you gotta see a reflection of him actually putting a
49:08
Speaker 12: guard down and loving his teammates back, and loving his
49:12
Speaker 12: coaching staff and allowing himself to be the leader that
49:16
Speaker 12: no one gave him an ability to do. He's a
49:19
Speaker 12: leader for us. He didn't want to be named captain.
49:21
Speaker 12: I wanted to name him captain. He didn't want that publicly.
49:25
Speaker 12: But what he does for our team, what he does
49:29
Speaker 12: for his teammates, He's an unbelievable young man. And I'm
49:32
Speaker 12: proud of them, proud of the plays he made, Proud
49:35
Speaker 12: of him allowing me to coach them hard, push him,
49:39
Speaker 12: but also his growth. His growth is tremendous, and that's
49:44
Speaker 12: what you have to look at. When you look at
49:46
Speaker 12: development of young people, maybe environments are the reason why
49:51
Speaker 12: they're unable to grow, but the right environment for each
49:54
Speaker 12: kid is different. The right environment allows gods to grow.
49:58
Speaker 18: What do you think contributed the must tells successful thing.
50:01
Speaker 12: It's what we do, It's the unselfishness. I thought we
50:04
Speaker 12: settled for a lot of threes uh in the first half,
50:07
Speaker 12: so again I wanted to cut that in half. And
50:10
Speaker 12: while we knew that they were scorching hot, we knew
50:13
Speaker 12: the one factor. This was the most physical, non fouling
50:18
Speaker 12: game that I've ever seen in the first half, and
50:20
Speaker 12: credit to both teams, but in that I wanted to
50:24
Speaker 12: get back to our identity. I wanted our guards to
50:27
Speaker 12: not settle. I wanted our shooters to make open shots,
50:31
Speaker 12: but don't lean on those open threes against the team
50:34
Speaker 12: that's pressing.
50:36
Speaker 5: A team that's pressing.
50:37
Speaker 12: We knew going into this game, because of Florida's ability
50:40
Speaker 12: to get into the paint, you can't press at this
50:43
Speaker 12: level like that, and we knew that they would go
50:47
Speaker 12: to a zone and our guys were prepared well. When
50:50
Speaker 12: we made the run, we were able to get a
50:52
Speaker 12: lot of layups as well, so Ultimately, we put pressure
50:56
Speaker 12: on the basket, and we've done that all season long.
50:58
Speaker 12: We wanted the best teams that stopping point paint or
51:02
Speaker 12: points in the paint, and we're one of the best
51:04
Speaker 12: in the country at getting points in the paint. So
51:07
Speaker 12: ultimately a decision has to be made, and they made
51:10
Speaker 12: the decision. The zone stifled us a little bit, but
51:13
Speaker 12: our guys didn't settle in that second half and we
51:15
Speaker 12: were able to control the paint. Fifty six points in
51:18
Speaker 12: the paint was awesome.
51:20
Speaker 16: Coach Till Barret and Trimp Pierce slid away offensive piece
51:23
Speaker 16: for y'all, what's working for them throughout the nation.
51:27
Speaker 12: Well, at the end of the day, going downhill, I thought,
51:31
Speaker 12: TiO Barrett going downhill. He finished eight for thirteen from
51:34
Speaker 12: the field for assists, seventeen points. Trent Piers ten field goals,
51:38
Speaker 12: twenty three points, nine rebounds. Both those guys were able
51:42
Speaker 12: to allow those easy baskets to come to them. Trent,
51:44
Speaker 12: great job halking the ball, halking the rebounds. I thought
51:47
Speaker 12: at the end of the day. A changing factor in
51:49
Speaker 12: that game I thought was a goal ten that was
51:53
Speaker 12: not called And I told our guys, you know, turnovers
51:57
Speaker 12: this game is if you respond to the So if
52:00
Speaker 12: you respond to the files, if you respond to certain things,
52:04
Speaker 12: that's a turnover against a high pressure team, you cannot
52:07
Speaker 12: take your time to wonder why a call didn't go
52:10
Speaker 12: your way. So our guys just focused on a game,
52:13
Speaker 12: didn't allow the crowd to distract them, didn't allow turnovers
52:16
Speaker 12: to distract us, and they just stay connected.
52:19
Speaker 1: The Stinni skates after the game and love the shout
52:22
Speaker 1: out to fellow Chicago native rushaun Age and talking about him,
