  Speaker 1: Back with Gino on the Women's Basketball Coaches Show on
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: this Wednesday night ahead of Yukon and Marquette. They're coming
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: up at eight o'clock with Mike and Wayne. Third place
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: on the line. In that game, you mentioned Ice. She
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: made her return of the lineup on Sunday. Hit a
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: big three to end the half show, so got a
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: nice offensive rebound for a reverse in the first half,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: made a couple of nice passes. I mean, you raved
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: about her post game, and it just seems like that
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: confidence breed success. As you said, that's all about what
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: she does, and when she's that confident, like we saw
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: in the Big East Tournament last year, you're going to
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: get production from her. And that's what you got on Sunday.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, one hundred percent. I think the thing with
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Ice is one I think she's in her conditioning. She's
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: in the best shape she's been since she's been at Connecticut,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: So I think that allows her to move better, to
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: get from place to place quicker. That's given her a
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: certain comfort level. And during the time she was away,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: she worked really really hard on her conditioning and on
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: you know, when she was able to before she could play.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: She just has spent a lot of time shooting the ball,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: a lot of time shooting the ball, and she seems
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: to be, you know, as confident as she was last
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: year in the tournament. Because if we can get that
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Ice to be like that, then obviously, you know, we
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: have a different team if we have Ice being the
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: way she was last year, if we have a healthy
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Aubrey ready to contribute. Wow, you know that poof that
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: gives us a pretty good eight or nine that we're
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: comfortable with.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: You know, yeah, did you see the three pointer coming
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: from the top of the kedah in the half? I'm
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: sure that's not how it was drawn up.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, in that particular, that particular scenario, two
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: things are going to happen. You know, either Page is
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: going to get one or the guy guardian is going
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: to get one. So the guy that switched the guy
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: that screened for and you know, I'm not surprised Page
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: through at the Ice and I'm thrilled that Ice took
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: it with confidence. Yep. And again, if that's something that
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: we could count on once or twice a game, let
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: me forget it. You know. Now, now every lineup we
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: have out there is going to have a big guy
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: that's a three point shooter. Wow, that's always.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: The problem to have for sure. Yeah, you know, what
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: do is your thought big picture on Caitlyn's play this year?
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Have you gotten everything that you hoped from her? And
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: her track record? And seems like in the postseason has
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: been pretty good too.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, no, I tell her all the time,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: you know that, you know, we lost we lost Nica
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: to graduation. And I do think, you know, having a
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: fifth year guard who has a lot of experience, you know,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I think Ash and KK both benefited from nikam Page
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: being out there with them, you know, pretty much for
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: forty minutes. And I think that they benefited from someone
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: like someone like Nika who've been in a lot of
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: different situations those two have not been in so being
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: able to replace someone like Nica and still have you know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: actually more scoring than Nika. I gave you. I knew
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: what we were getting, you know, I knew what we
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: were getting. She surprised me, and that she's a much
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: better three point shooter than I thought then she was
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: advertised to me.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: And she's worked hard at it, that's for sure, really.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Really really worked hard at So I'm anxious to see
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: how the postseason goes with her this weekend. But you know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: knocking when she's a terrific free throw shooter. M hm,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: you know, hopefully we can get her to the free
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: throw line more. KK is a terrific free throw shooter.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Ashy Shade is a good free throw shooter. Page is
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: a good free throw shooter. Asy Fudd is a good
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: The only problem is they never get fouled. So I
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: asked her one day, I said, what's the point, what's
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: you know? I would, I would understand if you guys
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: are horrible three point free throw shooters and you were
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: afraid to go to the line, say, you guys are
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: great free throw shoot but you don't get fouled. So
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: that's our next point of emphasis. You know, you know,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: let's get to the free throw line more. You know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: it's one thing to get foul and you're you know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: get foul on purpose because you're a bad free throw shooter.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: But nobody wants to foul our guys because they're good
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: at it. We just got to put ourselves in position
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: to get to the free throw line more.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, Page and KK have been the most
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: consistent doing that of your guards. Ash seems like she's
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: doing a little more of that now, although I think
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I was stuck with the creating game. She missed back
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: to back free throws, which is unheard of for her.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: And then of course easy and I mean this is easy.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Is probably your best one on one player driving to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the basket, according to what I've heard from both you
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and CD many times, Yes, she probably is.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: She probably is. We need a foul, or we need
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: an n one, or we need you to kick it
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: out for an open three. We can't come out of
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: there with a block shot. We can't come out of
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: there were nothing. That's why I harp on all the
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: time with these guys, you know. And Ash drives in
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: there to pass and that doesn't work. Or she'll pull
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: up and take that little ten to fifteen foot of us,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: which is fine. She's like automatic with that. Page goes
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: in there and she's got to do, you know, her
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: cheerleading thing with the ball, you know, you know, sis boombah,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: you know, and then comes out of there with her
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: and nothing happens, you know. And so I'm on her
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: about go in there and put your head down and
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: run somebody over. Make the ref have to decide. Is
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: that a charge or is that a block? Right? Right?
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: And Asy's powerful, she's strong, so I'm always surprised when
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: she doesn't finish around the basket and Caitlyn gets in
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: there and she's she's probably better at maybe because she
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: did that a lot at Princeton. I don't know, but
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: she's pretty good at getting into the basket and then
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: finding somebody with a little bounce pass or she's she
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: gets it off quickly and is able to So we
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: got all different types of attackers, which is good because
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I thought for a while there we were turning into
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: just strictly a jump shooting team, right, And I don't
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: know that you can, you know, really really count on
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: that every single night.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Correct, All right. Final segment with Gino, we'll talk a
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: little hockey because of course his relationship with cav and
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: that's coming up here as a women's basketball coach. The
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: show continues at a moment here Onlearfield
