  Speaker 1: Back with Gino here in the Yukon Women's Basketball Coaches
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Show for a Thursday night. After the men coming off
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: an Ice went over Baylor last night, they're back at
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: it Sunday. They go to Austin and that's a late
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: afternoon game. Let's see, that's a four to thirty pre
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: game here on the network from Austin, and we were
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: there last year. Beautiful arena and it should be a
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: great atmosphere for that game. All right. We haven't even
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: mentioned Paige or Asy yet. In the first two segments, Asy,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: coming back from injury, of course, had eighteen big points
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: against Old Miss, not only shooting the ball for the perimeter,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: she had a big three to stop the run that
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Old Miss made, but her attacking the rim and one
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: thing she talked about with us last week down to
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the Bahamas. All the work in the weight room has
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: paid off, and you can see that in a lot
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: of different ways.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think when kids have to sit out of
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: here to rehab something, it does give them an opportunity
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: to change their whole body if they if they want to,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: if they want to work at it. Page did that
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: when you know, when she was doing her rehab and
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: as he's done the same thing. You know, she's not
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: shooting the ball well like she's capable of yet, but
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the other things that she's able to do now because
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: she's that much stronger, feels that much better, that much
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: more confident in her body's ability to withstand whatever it
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: is that that she's trying to do. So, uh, you know,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: it's going to take a little while for her to
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: get back into game mode. You know that she was
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: a little bit under the weather the other night. You know,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: it was kind of like a game time decision whether
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: she was even going to play, and I thought she,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: you know, she looked okay. But it's only going to
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: get better from here on end. And and certainly with
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the schedule that we have coming up the next three weeks,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: we're gonna need it.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Right when she had the surgery a year ago, g
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: you know, was there any unexpected things going out with
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: her surgery, like from the way of damage from the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: previous surgeries that maybe didn't go well or or was
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: it just something that just the normal a second a
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: cl tear and you got to fix it again.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, there was there was more than just an
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: a cl tear. So that's why the rehabits taken so long.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: But other than other than that, everything was pretty pretty clear,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: pretty clear cut, you know, and she certainly knew what
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the what the procedure looks like after surgery. You know,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: she had been through that before, so it wasn't you know,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I'm going through it for the first time. And I
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: think that allowed her to to really attack it.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: And she has a really good team, you know, you know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: we've got to obviously, we've got a tremendous medical staff,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: you know that did the surgery. Uh, doctor Corner, doctor
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: R c R or fan fantastic people and they're great
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: at what they do. And plus you know, she takes
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: advantage of sources around campus that she work with and
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: all that. You know, Hoody Janelle, like the people that
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: we have, it's a comprehensive thing. And it's a lot
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: different than it used to be twenty five years ago.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: You know, there's so much more involved and now there's
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: so so methodical and so detailed driven and data driven.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: You know, they used to rushing back in six months
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and say play and now it's it's much more involved
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: than that. So I'm I'm thrilled with the way she
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: looks and the way she's playing right.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And Aubrey too. I had a chance to see Aubrey
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: here at the radio station yesterday. She was doing some
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: stuff for monicael Ford, which she's wondering for nil deals.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Seems like she's coming along pretty good. I know you
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: mentioned in the first coach is Shoe of the Year
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that she's really targeting what late December early January is
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a potential comeback date, and it's just good to see
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: her back on the floor.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's that's the plan. That's the schedule that
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: she's on. She's playing in a lot of simulated games,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: you know with our practice players very controlled. But the
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: other day it was like a real game, like no
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: holds barred and didn't take long and it's only about
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: twenty minutes or so. But she looked like her old
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: self more than at any other time since the surgery.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: And she's another one. I think the confidence that she's
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: that she's gotten from the work that she's done is
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: really evident.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then there's Giano can't get your break.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: No, that poor kid can't catch your break. You know,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: she's said a difference maker when she's on the court,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: at practice because we don't have anybody like her. You know,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: none of our other post players are like her, So
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: to not have her, you know, it's it's I mean, obviously,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: if you take Yana and Allby and put them on
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the court, that changes everything about our team because right now,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know that people that we scare anybody. We're
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: our athleticism. You know, we're pretty skilled, but I don't
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: know that we you know, people fear athletics. I mean,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: if you remember last year's Louisville game, all be completely
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: dominated that game. Yeah, took Louisville out of the game
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: the first five minutes and the game was over. So,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: you know, getting her back unfortunate for Yanna. You know,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: she's she's been trying to play through that that shoulder
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: problem that she has. It's kind of like the same
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: that Tina Charles had and she was here, and there's
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: an operation in her future for sure.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, before we get to break here, I've
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: noticed you haven't been getting to the free throw on
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a whole lot. Only six makes per game, but neither
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: has the opposition because you don't file a lot, you're
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: only averaging went around somewhere around eleven personal files per
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: game so far, which used to be a state.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: We don't get close enough to anybody to file them.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: People drivel right by us, and you know, we don't.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: We don't. We're not close enough to them to found.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: We're not a very physical team, you know which, And
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I wish we did. I wish we did fail more.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I wish we'd played more aggressively that there was a
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: chance that we would file more. But we're trying to
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: be disciplined about it and not put ourselves in jeopardy
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: like that. And we're not going to the free thrown
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: because we're shooting a lot more threes this year than
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: we did last year, you know, so we're not getting
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: we're not getting three point plays, you know, so we're
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: hoping to make more threes, but uh, that's always a
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: point of emphasis to get to the free throw line.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: You know, Page is the biggest whiner in America because
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: she doesn't get she she feels like she doesn't get
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the calls that that she that she deserves. So she
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: goes in there and you know, throws up something crazy,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: It goes in and then she wants to know why
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: she didn't get a foul call. So part of it
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: is they just they just expect her to finish because
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: a lot of times what officials are doing these days,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: more and more, you saw it down to the Bahamas,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: they're actually waiting to see if the ball goes in.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: That's what it feels like to me. It's like the
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: European model. You know, in Europe, when you shoot the
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: ball in the lane, there's always a little bit of
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: a delayed whistle. If the foul caused the ball not
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: to go in, they call the foul. If the ball
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: goes in, they're just waving on, let's go, let's keep playing,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: which is crazy. But I think we have to be
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: a little more grud our big guys have to be
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: a little more physical in there, and I think that's
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: where we can get to the free throw line.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: All right. Final segment with Gino here on the ucon
