• 1:18
  Speaker 3: you know, the move to the ACC was probably, you know,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: not a great one for them other than financially, because
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: you know, they've not had the level of success in
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: the ACC that they were having in the Big East
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: on a regular basis. And that's it. That's you know,

• 1:47
  Speaker 1: She is about to pass Morgan Tuck and Laura Leishness
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: on the All Times scoring list. She's trying around thirteen
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: hundred points for her career thirty five steels no.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: For only playing thirty games. That's a hell of a
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: lot of points for only playing third.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: I mean the kids, the kid's been hurt. Yeah, I mean,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: she's had the worst luck of anybody in Connecticut since
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Shay Ralph in terms of how many things could happen
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: to you to cost you games. So it's remarkable that
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: here she is right now, you know, looking the way
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: she looks and playing the way she's playing. You would
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: never know that, you know, you know, Ashton Shade and
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: k k Arner have played a lot more games than
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Asy fund.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I believe you sure about that. I don't think maybe
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: not wrong, but I mean, I mean.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Let's see he's been here five years.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: All right, let's see here, Ashes played ninety three. Okay,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Kk's played ninety three because I missed the game.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go find thirty five. Wow.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: As he's played ninety one. Wow?
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: How many they played?
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Those other two have played ninety three? A'si's played ninety one. Wow.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: I told you they played more games than than as well.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: You remember, and Asy's been here five years. That's how
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: bad the bad luck that this game has had. Yeah,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: and now you know you watch her and it's like,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: you know, you would think like, well, nothing ever, you know,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: nothing ever happened.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Then No, she's got guns.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: By the way, you know, I clearly Page has been
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: working out. I mean, she's got guns. Now who page
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: for Unrivaled. She's she's got some arc she's got some
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: strong arms. Now she had what you have twenty four
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: last night in the first Unrivaled game.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: You can't have twenty four. They don't go up to
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: twenty four? Do they how many? How many points did
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: they go up to as many as she had twenty?
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Didn't they lose their first game?
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: No? I think they won.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: They won, They're undefeated.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was their first game.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, their first Day've only played one.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Only one game, only one game?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: All right, back to easy though for a minute here.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: She's really good what impresses me most. And she's always
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: been a good positional defender, keeping her player in front
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: of her. But now, obviously she's taken more chances since
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the start of the NCAA tournament last year, she's gotten
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: a lot more aggressive defensively. And then, you know, having
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: talked to her, she said, well, I don't want to
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you know, lose my player taking a chance and then
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: somebody having to bail me out. Well, now she's got
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: you know, she's taken those chances, and you can see
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the payoff most of the time.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: You know what she's gotten really really really good at.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you notice it. I mean, I
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: guess these people send me stuff. You know, Hey, did
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: you read this? I'm like, so, if you're probably on
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: the boneyard, you probably already coached this team to one
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty wins in a row, So I get that.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: But there's something that she does that's really incredible to
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: be able to do, which is so good defensively, is
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: when she's guarding her man, okay, and her you know,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: she's guarding her man right here, and somebody's guarding their
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: man here, and they drive it into that gap between
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: her man and you know, the basket. She's been as
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: good as anybody we've had ever at getting her hands
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: in there and getting herself into the mix without necessarily
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: losing her man. Like that's how she got she got
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: the kid for a while, the one time in the
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Ncity Tournament. Yeah, you know, you know, because you beat
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: your man, you're not thinking somebody's going to be there.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: But for her, like, whenever there's an opportunity, she's got
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: her hands in there a lot. And you know, she's
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: gotten a lot of turnovers and gotten us a lot
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: of possessions. And that's something she would never ever do
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: as a freshman or a sophomore, that she would never
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: take that kind of risk of, you know, get in there.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Maybe you know. So, I think she's just a lot
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: very very very confident kid right now.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the number is shut.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: All right, We'll take another break and back with Gino
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: in a minute here on the Yukon Women's Basketball Coaches
