8:38

9:17
[SPEAKER_03]: Please join us and right now stay tuned for Coach Painter and Braden Smith and you're going to want to hear this Braden Smith post conference.
9:25
[SPEAKER_03]: It's great.
9:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody has, I could tough game, or tough stretches, or whatever.
9:35
[SPEAKER_00]: So obviously last year, probably our toughest game was against them.
9:40
[SPEAKER_00]: They clearly outplayed us.
9:41
[SPEAKER_00]: They out coached us.
9:43
[SPEAKER_00]: They were tougher than we were, but we had 24 turnovers.
9:47
[SPEAKER_00]: and that game.
9:48
[SPEAKER_00]: And then so just collectively, we didn't give ourselves a chance, but a lot of that had to do with them.
9:54
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, give them credit for how hard they play and how physically they were.
9:58
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, I just thought they were great.
9:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought they were great tonight, offensively.
10:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought they did some really good things, but no one braiden has the basketball.
10:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And we got it going, right?
10:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And we got it going and understand, and now we're going to get to some hit and miss.
10:13
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what it comes down to.
10:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Like even though we scored 93 points, we had a lot of been.
10:18
[SPEAKER_00]: We shot close to 60%.
10:19
[SPEAKER_00]: We had a lot of open misses.
10:21
[SPEAKER_00]: but like he's generating a lot of that.
10:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes he gets to where he's got to get in half his hands and it's probably going to be a hockey assist and he doesn't always like those.
10:33
[SPEAKER_00]: But that, you know, making the right play and basketball.
10:36
[SPEAKER_00]: But now he's, he's the best man.
10:38
[SPEAKER_00]: He's the best up in around and the way P.J.
10:42
[SPEAKER_00]: orchestrates our offense and
10:44
[SPEAKER_00]: and talks him through, you know, some different things, like they've been a very good team.
10:49
[SPEAKER_00]: And at time, you got to back up and you're like a fan, you know, you're just, you're just watching.
10:54
[SPEAKER_00]: And, um, but now he, he puts the defense in a real bind, and it makes him make some real hard decisions.
11:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And, uh, one of the things today was like, when they went to a zone, we were ready for that zone, we executed, but then sometimes you execute and you miss shots.
11:08
[SPEAKER_00]: and they just stayed with it right, but we made some shots.
11:11
[SPEAKER_00]: And so like that wasn't an answer for them.
11:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, really in this game, they couldn't stop us and we couldn't stop them.
11:18
[SPEAKER_00]: When you go and you got down to it, I thought the difference in the game was our ability to play make and not turn the ball over.
11:25
[SPEAKER_00]: The turnovers end up being the difference.
11:27
[SPEAKER_00]: If you look at it from a position, it's the important.
11:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I get a lot of questions these days about a lot of while I make shots, so, I mean, I still know how to score, even though I've passed a lot, but I mean, I also have a team around me that supports me and has a confidence in me to go out and make plays and score the basketball or that's the pass then the ball, which I have trust and in faith in them to make their shots.
11:55
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I mean, I just play and whatever the defense gives me is what I think, so whether that's
12:07
