  Speaker 1: Here with Gino, We're just when we asked her.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: That was totally an amazing individual play by her, and
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: I had nothing to do with it. And I'm not
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: happy that I'm not on the record books as having
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: drawn that up. Just for the rate I want to fix.

  Speaker 2: I want to put that on the record.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Just for the radio folks at home. We were talking
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: about the Broncos Patriots, how the weather change in the
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: second half, and Gino brought up the leaky roof in
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the One Big East tournament against Wreckers, and then the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: next night was the famous bird at the Buzzer game,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: So that's the reference there.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: She turned out.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, there's a lot of great players of that game.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Didn't she didn't she make a shot at halftime, Yes,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: in that same way.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Like half the buzz Yeah.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: So it was birded at the Buzzers that she made
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: the first one and then she made another one.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: That turned into a book too. Jeff Goldberg, former a
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Beat writer, turned that into a book.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Uh, tenn.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: There was nothing in there about me setting up that play.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: And where did you set that up?
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Where you got early.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: In the season, I said, listen, he went shooting a
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: free throw and we need a bucket and exactly how
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: it happens when set a screen for Sue's who came
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: off got the ball, went down and made it and
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I was like yes, and you know, like anything else?
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Which year you know behind every man is a great woman?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Well taking all the credit?
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: There you go, there you go.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: My wife doesn't do that to me, yere fortune and
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: one mine doesn't either.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah. See, so we're too lucky.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Guys. Which year is She's sitting right up there, that's
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: what I'm supposed.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: To say, Well, she's the boss missus an we love
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: missus A. Two thousand was the year you guys went
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: to Europe and I forget where because I know we did.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: I know Joe did the games. We actually went and
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: did a couple of the games.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: But all the back door cuts that you had against
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Tennessee in the championship game that year in Philly, I
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: think was a product of that, wasn't it?
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Like going to Europe and working on that stuff, that was.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: A big part of it. We had lost in in
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine. It was really really really bad because
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: we had some injuries. You know, Sue got hurt and
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: we didn't have we didn't have good guard play.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I Alway State Beach, Cincina.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. The two people that shoot the ball every
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: time they touch it, it's Atlanta and Shay were bringing
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: the ball up the floor for us. Who do you
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: think they were going to pass it to nobody? So
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: we our guard play was all screwed up. So when
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: we went over to Italy, I remember we were on
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: an outdoor court, blacktop, and we only had one basket
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: because there was a kid at another basket. It was
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: just shooting baskets, and so we only had half court
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: and it had to be one hundred degrees in Italy
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: in August on that blacktop, and I made them stay
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: there for like an hour, and they were dying, and
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: we did the same thing over and over and over
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: and over and over again. And you know, it felt
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: like when when these rookies were were doing training camp
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: with the Packers and and it got dark and one
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: of the rookies they asked Jack Kramer. He said, man,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I'm tired. He said, when are we going to stop?
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: And Jack Kramer pointed to the Lombardi and said when
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: he's tired. And I think they were dying. And I
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: just sit there and do it again, do it again,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: do it again, do it again.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Sounds like Herb Brooks. Do the Herbies, just do it again?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: And and then we we played Tennessee in the National
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Championship game, and they could they could run that offense
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: with their eyes closed, and it was laying up, lay up,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: play up, play up. Play.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Absolutely smoked them that late. Absolutely.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Well, this Tennessee team is coming off at fourteen and
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: four coming off probably they're poorest performance of the season
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: against Mississippi State last night. They shot just thirty one.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Lot of laps missed that game. Both teams missed a
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: tunn of labs. But one thing they do well and
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: answer your question, yes.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Like when you go to work and you constantly screw
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: something up, doesn't your boss call you in and go listen,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I'm giving you fair warning. If this keeps up, we're
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: gonna have to find a replacement. So, if you're a
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: semi professional basketball player playing college basketball today and you
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: can't make a layup on a regular basis, shouldn't there
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: be some sort of consequences there? Yes, But shouldn't I
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: have the ability to call her in the office and
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: go over like a quarterly report and demote them or something,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: or change departments, like put them on the volleyball team
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: or something.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I watched the second half of that game last night.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Some were contested, but some were just ugh ugly. But
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: one thing Tennessee does, and they've done it well for years,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: they get after it the glass.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, they play. They play a style of
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: play that is a risk reward. The risk is the
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: reward is unbelievable.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: They do that. They force a lot of turnovers, and
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: the risk.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Is they're gonna get there. They're not gonna be able
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: to win long term. So you have to manage that
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: as as a team. You have to all the risks
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: that they take defensively, you have to make them. You
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: have to make them pay for that. If all the
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: risks they take they came up, they come up aces,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: then you're in for a long night. Like last year.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Last year, we we should have won. If you look
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: at the statue, thank you, excuse me, I got the one.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I got the one the varsity gets. Now it brought
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: me to JV one last time.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: See he didn't even he didn't even need it talking
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: to no.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Early.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: When you look at the statue from last year's game.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: We won in every category except we got out rebounded.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: But what really hurt us was defensively, we couldn't keep
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: them out of the lane and get into the basket,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: so we had They had more turnovers than us. We
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: made more threes than them, We shot more free throws
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: than them. You know, we have more assists than them.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah blah. But it comes down to
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: when you need some rebounds, you got to get them.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: And that's what worries me going in Sunday. Sarah Williams,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I hope she's fine. You know, Blanca helps us a
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: little bit in that area. So you know, Sarah, Jenna,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Sarah Strong and our guards are going to have to
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: really really do a ach ab rebounding the ball. Yeah,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: that's what it's going to come down to.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: And if you make some shots, it takes all the pressure.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you've got to make You've got to
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: make shots, you know, I mean they shot I think
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: they averaged thirty to three point attempts per game, Yes,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: thirty two is it thirty two, thirty one, thirty one? Yeah,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: my coaches would be impressed.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: And I know there's stats nine of thirty one nine
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: rige per game.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, nine for thirty one? What are we nine for what?
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Let's see.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Now, you've taken almost almost as many. They've taken five
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: sixty four in eighteen games. You've taken five thirty seven
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and twenty two so less way. We've taken way less
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: than that, and you're making percent. You're made more. They've
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: made one ninety one sixty nine. You've made two eleven.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: So that's average about ten a game.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: So we've made we've taken less, made more.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: That's the efficiency part.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: So if we can do that on Sunday, then we're
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: going to win the game. Playing it simple.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Some of their threes, do they forst those threes up?
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Are they like good looks? Because I know one thing
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: that you've always done defensively, you force teams into taken
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: bad shots. When you do that, you're in good shape.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't listen when you play like that,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: there are no bad threes in their mind because that's
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: what they're trying to do.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: That kind of like the Paul used to do.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of like what the Paul used to do.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: They they feel like because they're such a good rebounding team,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: they can afford to take some of those shots, right
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: because they feel like, listen, if you shoot thirty percent
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: from the floor and then you get the rebound and
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: then make that layup, now you're not shooting thirty percent
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: from the floor on that possession, you're shooting fifty percent. Yeah,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: so that's why they you know, they can afford to
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: take We are not that kind of rebounding team, so
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: we can't afford to take shots like that. So high
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: percent shots, make more of them, don't turn the ball
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: over and rebound the ball.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Right there you go, There you go, as simple as
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: that from Geno. All right, we'll take a break. Morel
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: of Geno in a minute here Onlearfield.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Stay with us,
