• 2:00
  Speaker 3: There are a lot of events throughout the whole year. So,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: you know, any of you people listening out there in
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: radio land, if you're interested in getting involved and how
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: we how we do things for the foundation throughout the year,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: you can contact us. I'm sure you can find it
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: pretty easily online. You can find anything online right now,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: I guess except somebody tells the truth. I guess I
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: don't know.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: She know. For the Kids dot Org, there your website, there.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: You go, g you know, for the Kids dot org
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: and yeah, Tomorrow's don't know, the game is gonna suck.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: What is that?
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Because they are they're really good. Number one, they are
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: shooting the ball great right about now. Number two, they
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: they have a really good guard who she's a sophomore.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: And I would say, and I don't you know whether
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: anybody out there from the other schools is listening or not.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: If we weren't in the league, I think Vollanova's point
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: guard would probably be the player of the year in
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: the league. Jasmine Bosco. Yeah, I mean she's really good.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: She runs their whole team. She's shooting the ball great,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: you know, and they make they make defending they make
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: you defending them very very difficult. They run around like
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: you know, like Creyton does, all over the place, and
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: so defensively, we're going to have to be really really
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: good tomorrow, and you know, we're gonna have to play well,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: which is good because I think we, you know, we
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: sometimes I think the wins come a little bit too
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: easy at times. And you know, tomorrow, I mean, last
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: year we played them here, we scored one hundred points.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: I have no idea, no one ever scores one hundred
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: points against Villanova, But we just played so well and
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: shot the ball so great, So tomorrow, you know, we'll see.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're a bit of a younger team. They averaged
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: nine to threes per game.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: They've hit double digits eleven times, and threes your team's
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: done it eight times. Back to Sunday for a minute.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: It was an interesting start. Creton had a lot of success,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: like your teams have, spreading the floor going five out,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and they had a lot of backdoor cuts.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: In the first quarter.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: But one thing that stood out being courtsided next to
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: you and even you know, Debbie brought this up too defensively.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: They would pick up the dribble on the perimeter and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: your defender, whoever it would be, would lay off a
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: little bit where you wanted them to get up close
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and make things difficult. Was that a message during the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: first media timeout or even going into the second quarter,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: to you know, make it more of a point because
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the second quarter was certainly vastly different. You forced them
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: over thirteen times alone, which I think was their average
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: or just close to their average per game, and then
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you went off and scored thirty three points.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean there are times during the course of
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: a game when I have trouble identifying what I'm saying
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: as like, what I'm saying is what I'm saying, I
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: want you to do, okay, And sometimes it's interpreted as
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: coaches making a suggestion that we should try this. All right,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: So when you watch us play and we start and
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: we're all over people and things are flying and over that,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: they go, oh, look at that team, and then when
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: they don't, it's like, well, coach must have told them
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: to lay off of those guys.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: The message is the same all the time. It's just
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: that it's hard for players to, for forty minutes every night,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: every game, recreate the absolute perfect scenario. It's just not
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: it's just not. It's just not possible. So, you know,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: you you have TV timeouts, you come out, you put
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: something different in, you know, you do something different defensively,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: and then you make more shots and then everybody gets
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: happy and then we start playing, you know. And but
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: I think what what Creighton did which was interesting was they.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: They were they were.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: They wanted to shoot a lot of threes, and they're
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: a good three point shooting team, but they were they were,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: they were deep, and they came like rushed.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I noticed that.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Okay, and then we were throwing the ball away. So
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: sometimes my teams have their own practice when I'm not there,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: so and they tried different offenses and stuff, and so
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: when I sometimes and I watch them play, I go,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: I've never seen that before. That's what it looks like
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: to me.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: It does, Okay. Sarah Strong had a solid game seven
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: to ten.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: You talked about the efficiency double double number five led
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the team and assists with Kaylee Hako with six had
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: five more steals. Where have you seen her game really
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: jump from say, at the start of the season to now.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Have you seen an improvement in an area or two
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: that maybe you didn't see last year?
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I think sophomore years are usually I
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: don't know that sophomore years always there have been. There
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: have been some that go from you know, she had
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: a great freshman year, sure, okay, So I don't know
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: that they go from great freshman year to an unbelievable
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: sophomore year. Sometimes it just kind of incrementally gets a
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: little bit better, you know. And when we started season,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: I mean when did we play Ohio State third game?
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Fourth games like that? Yeah? Yeah?
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: What she had thirty points twenty How many rebounds she
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: had and would probably played one of the best games
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: you know, we've ever seen at the Excel Center.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the twenty rebounds was Michigan the DA and.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Then she had twenty rebounds against Michigan. So she's been
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: playing at a pretty high level. And her three point
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: shots kind of been off and on for about three
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: or four games. It was on. She didn't make any
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: against Creaton. Yeah. Yeah, but she's shooting the ball better
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: in practice, and we're putting her more different, more different places.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: My English teacher would be upset with that, more different places.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: We're putting her in different spots on the court to
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: take advantage of, you know, all the things that she
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: can do and not have her be in the same
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: spot all the time. And then we're trying to get
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: you know, her the ball in places where they can't
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: guard her. So if you notice when we came out
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: against Creighton after we didn't score, you know, we said
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: there's one way we won't throw the ball away. We'd
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: just come down throw it to Sarah, and she scored
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: the next couple of buckets and you know, everybody's you know,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: everybody's good now. So yeah, right now, you know, The
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: challenge is just finding ways for her to touch the
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: ball and then play off of that.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: See what happens all right, More with Gino in a minute.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: This is you kind of women's basketball coaches show on Learfield.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: We're live at Cafe or in Manchester. Stay with us.
