• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Just the start of a long broadcast day here on
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: the Yukon Sports Network, the Women's Basketball Coaches Show, We've
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Got Hockey and UMass at the top of the hour,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: and then tonight at seven thirty, it's the Men and
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Saint John's with Mike and Wayne over at Gamble Pavilion,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: all in the Yukon Sports Network, the Varsity Network App,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: and the Varsity Network dot Com. Here with coach Oriema
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: as we look back at the Tennessee game, Boy, Tennessee
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: really got after it on the boards, Geno, which is
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: no surprise, but it seemed like and I'm using an
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: old calhounism here, seemed to impose their will on the
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: glass in the second half and that that sort of
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: helped turn the tide in their favorite.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Isn't it. I think so? I think so. I think
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: we we did a great job in the first half.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: You know, I think we actually even out rebounded them
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: maybe in the first half. And you know, then we
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: go into the second half and things got away from us.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: You know, we play that small lineup. You know, maybe
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: we played that small lineup too long because I thought
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: we needed more ball hammers in there, and we need
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: more more ways to attack their pressure and and and
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: get those thirty five layups, but it came at a cost.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: You know, some we just they just beat us. You know,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: they're they're bigger and longer than we than we were.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I think even more than the rebounding, I thought it
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: was their ability too one on one take our guards
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: and not just our guards are for everybody, take them
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: into the lane and score over us. And that was
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: disappointing because you know, defensively, you know, we've we've traditionally
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: been really, really good, but this team is not a
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: very good defensive team when it comes to guarding triple
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: penetration and things like that, and so things that we
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: have to get better at, things that you know, we
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: have to tighten up. You know, they may not show
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: up in a regular season game in the middle of January,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: but they certainly show up in February on the road
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: against her, you know, a top twenty teen.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I do think Sharah handled Thompson bowling. I mean, you know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: eighteen and nine, those are good numbers here. Yeah, Okay,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: she had five turnovers. I know one of those came
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: during the eleven nothing run when she got trapped and
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: it was a predictable pass that got picked up. But
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: what'd you think overall of her play last night?
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I thought I thought I thought she was great. I
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: thought we didn't give her the ball enough. There were
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: times when I think we had her and we didn't
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: throw it to her. She's going to keep getting more
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: aggressive and more aggressive, and she's going to make those
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: kinds of mistakes because she is young and she had
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: not been in those situations, you know. So no, I
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: think she needs to be more assertive. Even I think
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: she has to take more risk, more chances. But she
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: played too many minutes as far as I'm concerned, you know,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: so we've got to alleviate that. But no, I thought
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I thought she handed herself great. I wish she would
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: have made a three or two because I think that
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: would have, you know, loosened up a lot of other things,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: you know, because it's hard going against that size inside
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: over and over again. But now I was Believe me,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: there hasn't been one game this year that I've looked
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: back and said, boy, I was really disappointed in Sarah.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean she played almost thirty nine minutes, all right.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Having said that, and you said too many minutes? Is
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: that a case obviously where ice would have been a
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: fact or would have at least alleviate some of those
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: minutes last night.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Maybe maybe I think that would have given us one
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: more you know, one more big body in there to
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: throw at those guys. But you know, got to go
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: with what you got. And you know, as I've been
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: saying all year, you know, we gotta we got to
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: get more out of Jenna. And that's all there is
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: to it. I mean, I going into the season, I thought, wow,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: you know, this is this is exactly where we were missing,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: you know, a big body. We haven't had a presence
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: like that in a long time, and that hasn't been
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: the case. So you know, we got to try keep
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: trying to get get more production from her. And I
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: think that would help a lot.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: You know, what's the next step in that progression? What's
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: what's holding her back? Or is she her own worst enemy?
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: She's got to grow up a little bit for number one,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: and uh and that's you know, obviously she's she's young,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: she's only a freshman, but you know she's she's just
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: she's a tough one. You know, she's got to be
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: more receptive to coaching. That's the bottom line, you know,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: that's it. I mean, sometimes it's complicated, sometimes it's very simple.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: So is this kind of like I'm going to go
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: back to Nika's freshman year kind of the same thing
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: are a little different, No.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I think it's different. You know, two different personalities, two
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: different positions. You know, the one thing you could never
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: question about Nico was her aggressiveness and her passion and
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: you know, just the intensity level that she brought to
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: the court. And so it's now completely different.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: You know, what about Morgan Shelley. I mean, she shows
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of good things on the floor, but she
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: can be her own worst enemy, particularly kimmitting files. What
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: do you like about her development so far?
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's touch and go. You know, when it's
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: going great, I love keeping her out there. When it's not,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: then it's hard. But again, you know, these are these
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: are freshmen that are experiencing things for the very first time,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: and the more times that we put them in those situations,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the better, I would think. But you know, I think
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I think Tennessee has the has the kind of length
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: and the kind of substitution patterns that that really make
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: you really concentrate and make you really keep your you know,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: keep your mind on what exactly is going on, and
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: and and I think when you're young and having experienced
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: anything like that, it's, you know, like friends. I don't
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: know if KK would have been able to handle that
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: last year, you know. So it takes, it takes going
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: through these things before you actually feel comfortable.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: We'll get into that substituting pattern in the next segment.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Here as you're listening to the Yukon Women's Basketball Coaches Show. Here,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I on Lairfield. Stay with us.
