  Speaker 1: As we are now currently joined by the associate coach
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: of the Huskies, all decked out in that pink jumpsuit
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: and white jacket. Boy, you are styling. But that's stew though.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, no matter what day, I mean, you're always styling.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that.
• 0:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah you don't. You haven't.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: You haven't gone down to the sweats like the rest
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: of them. No, No, that's not you. That's certainly not you.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: I tried during COVID I did, I know, well, actually didn't.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: I just wore a sweater and pants. But I tried
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: as as close as you just didn't.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I think the last time you wore a sweatsuit was
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: probably when we were in a sterile Florida playing in
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: that Gulf Ghost thing over Thanksgiving and it was like
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: an ice box.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that might have been. We had a blanket too.
• 0:39
  Speaker 5: So did Debbie.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, Debbie and Meg weren't ready to and I
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: told Debbie, I said, get blanket, you're gonna need it. Yeah,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: it was bad. Well, today you guys took care business.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: We did. We did. It was you know, there are difficult.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Their record is deceiving.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: They're a difficult team to play against because they run
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: a lot of really good offense, and even when we're
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: up by a lot, they still take advantage and you
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: look bad because you give up, you know, back door
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: cuts and some of those things. But I thought Page
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: started off very aggressively, and when she does that, we're
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: a different team. So having her be aggressive and on
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the offensive end and on the defensive end, you know,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: we were able to create a lot of turnovers, which
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: was helpful, and that helped, you know, start the engine.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: You talk offensively, spread the wealth, so you put the
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: pedal to the metal, and it really didn't let up.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Everyone contributed in their way, whether it was three point
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: shooting or the back door cuts that you yourselves were
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: pretty good at executing the offense.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was balanced.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I thought, you know, we were able to get a
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: lot of people a lot of different minutes and try
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: to balance that out too, which is always helpful.
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: What about the decision to grow zone in the second half.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's funny because we don't well we
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: don't even practice it.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: We have not practiced.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: It's something that we talk about a lot, and we
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: put it in you know, like, well throw it out there,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: but we don't spend a lot of time and practicing
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: on which we're going to need to because I think
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: that that's something down the road that will give us,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: you know, a different option and something else to go to.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: But I thought we we actually one of the best
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: possessions of zone. They got the bank in three with
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: like one second ago, but we in terms of how
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: we played the zone, that was our best possession of zone.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: So it's, you know, something that we have to get
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: better at and work at and communicate a little bit better.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: But it's not something that we do a lot of.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: But yeah, and when you say that too, they actually
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: made you know, sometimes that ball rotation. They look like
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: I think maybe it's just because the way haven't played
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: mandamand but they were talking and like, okay, line up, Okay,
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: they have to drop back and I'll cover the garden.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: You heard them talking. You heard them talking. Oh good,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: I just want to point that out.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: So I was like, yeah, that's something that we as
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: a coaching staff struggle with, Like they you know, our
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: communication and the and the talking and the verbal and
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: is not as good as where it needs to be.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: It's not as good as where it should be. And
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: that's something that we work on. And you know, you
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: think you think at this level the things that you
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: should talk about, you know, there's different skill development and
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: one of the hardest things and if you talk to
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: any coach in the country that to get kids to
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: do is to talk and to communicate and just to
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: describe what they see and what they're doing. And it's
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: it's kind of a phenomenon in my mind because it's
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: probably the Yeah, maybe they want to text it to them,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: but we don't have time for that.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: But it is one.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Of the it's it's you can't play basketball without speaking.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: And that's one of our frustrations that we, you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: spend a lot of time on Chris.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Does the coaching staff like or are they good with
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: what the three point defense has been like? And I'm
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: not just talking today. Yeah, you gave up twelve threes today,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: but going into Thursday and going forward, is it where
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: you where you want it to be?
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Well, I think you have to look at who you're
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: giving them up to. Like the concern would be us
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: giving them up to the McGuff kid, because we know going.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: In she's their leading scorer.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: But there was one kid I think she made her
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: eighth and ninth today. So I think some of it
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: you have to depend on who you know. I know,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I didn't even scout them. I was like, I asked
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Morgan if I if I helped out on that one.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: But I think it depends on how they're getting them
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and who's getting them and why you you know, you
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: can't take away everything. So if you go into a
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: game and you're playing the numbers, like for instance, when
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: we played usc we went in okay with certain people shooting,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: and they made a bunch so that we had to
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: make those adjustments in the second half. So you have
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: to you know, you have to play the statistics. I
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: think you play the numbers and you and hopefully at
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the same time you're getting better at just giving up
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: threes to people that you don't want to give up
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: threes to.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: And how you're doing it.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I think has you know, it probably gives coaches more
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: concerned than than just doing it.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Have you missed Volunteer Orange? You're gonna see a lot of
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: it on Thursday.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: I have not missed Orange at all. I was just
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: gonna ask it. I'm like, Okay, you had a great
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: pink out crowd. I think they did it. Yeah, the CD.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: You know, I can't say enough about our and the
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: people and the way they've come out to support the team,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: and it's just amazing. And certainly Tay's special having it
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: be the Pink game, and special for us with our
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: dedication to Abby in the game today.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: I like the borm ups today. Those are nice.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she is a special part of our team and
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: our program, and so our kids were very much touched
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: by her. So hopefully we were able to give something
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: back to her parents today and long term.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: On a Thursday when we saw them in Brooklyn, I
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: felt like I was watching Doug Bruno's old teams in
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: the first half, five in, five out and they just
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: go ahead, leather.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they say a lot. I don't know if it's
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: as much five out, five in and five out now.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I think it might get five four in. I think
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: maybe they don't do as much as the wholesale subbing.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: But they play a lot of players. They are very athletic,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: they're long, they press, they shoot a lot of threes.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a challenge. I mean it might
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: be one of those games. It's again, you know, it
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: took me a long time to get to this place.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: But it's a it's a game in February against a
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: really good team on the road to see where we
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: are and what we need to do to get ready
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: for March. I used to not feel that way. I
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: can tell you that, but I think that's how you know,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: we may just try. It might just we may blow
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: up the scoreboard there. It might you know, it might
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: be one of those one oh seven one hundred like
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: LSU Oklahoma the other day in terms of offense, and
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: so you don't have to you know, you can play
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: people a lot of different ways, and you know, we'll
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: see how we decide to play on Thursday. And but
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: rebounding is certainly a concern and certainly it'll be a key.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Although coach keeps telling me, you know, so told me
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: that one year we were out remounted by twenty when
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Diana was there, but we won the game.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't remember that. Well.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: He said we were remounted by twenty, and I assumed
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: we won the game the way he said it.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: But I don't know that someone should check that.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Well, if you shoot sixty five percent,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I mean the guys turned over twenty five times last night,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: but they shot over sixty percent.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll see I mean as fast as that
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: can hide a lot, right, Yeah, especially if you know
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: you're trading threes for twos. But in this situation, they
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: like to shoot a lot of threes and they can
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: go on stretches. I watched the game against South Carolina.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: They were down twenty and you know, started to make
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: more shots in the second half, cut the lead I
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: think to six or seven, end up losing by seven.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: But teams that shoot a lot of threes, I mean
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: that they can get back into games quickly. They can
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: also shoot themselves into a problem. But you know, they
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: always have a chance to get back in the game
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: if you fall asleep. So it's not going to be
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: an easy game. It's going to be a tough environment.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I'm sure. I think they still don't like Geno. They
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: always liked me, but I think there's still not that
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: choked up about him. That is, there's still not choked
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: up about him. But so it will be although it's
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: lost a little bit of that. So it'll be a
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: great test for us, you know, to be on the road.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: We really have to do a much better job than
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: we've done in the three point shooting defense, but also
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: in our rebounding and are But the bottom line is
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: we're gonna have to score too, That's what I mean.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: It may be one of those games that we just
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: go up and down up like today. There were long
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: stretches where poor Aubrey is at the at the table
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: twice and it was like three or four minutes where
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: there was nothing, just up and down. So it may
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: be one of those games. I don't think it's going
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: to be, you know, a walk it up type game
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: at all.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Twenty five years since we had what one O five
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: one two at U c l A. Oh yeah, gave
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: one hundred and two point talking.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's interesting, but yeah, yeah, we don't like to
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: talk about that one too much.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Ohth we won. Yeah, as long as it's a W
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: I'll talk about it. I say that too.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: I think your kids didn't look like there were There
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: was nothing looking ahead. It was all about this game
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: this moment. It would seem that they want, they know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: take care of business. It's in the big use to
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: have that respect for conference play.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: We're on a mission.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: It seemed to be that way, and now now they know, well.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say anything. It's more than media
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: that wanted to talk about it yesterday than our Yeah,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: they were so they you know, and I get it.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I get it because that's that's their opportunity. But you know,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I think you have to focus on the game that
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: you have and honestly, like I said, it's a great
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: game to have in February, but our conference, in winning
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: our conference is more important.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: So our kids did a good job today.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: It was an earlier game, but we didn't get a
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: shoot around today before. But I think the crowd helped
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: with that, and I think everything that went on today
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: helps with that.
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: All Right, we'll see on Thursday.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Chris, Chris Dalley the daily recap,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and that'll do it for us.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: Here for the Excel Center.
