  Speaker 1: Final segment with Maggie Veoni from ct Insider dot Com.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Huskies will take on De Paul and their conference home
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: opener Sunday twelve thirty on the radio. Blue Demons are
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: playing Marquette tonight. It's certainly not the same The Paul
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: team that we've seen in the past, but we'll worry
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: about that on Sunday. Blaca kenonez. She is fun to
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: watch and I cannot wait to see what she does
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: over the next three years. Once Gino reels her in
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: a little bit, just a little bit, because he likes that,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: you know, take your chance type thing, and she's certainly confident.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: But boy, she's another special one.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, I think she has been such a fun
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: surprise for the tuconk team. Right she came into stores
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: and some people kind of you about her, some people didn't.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: There was a lot of highlights of her from playing
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: overseas in Italy. But the way she has just jumped in,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: like she doesn't look like a freshman, right, Like she
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: looks like she knows her basketball queue is really high.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: You can see that the moves he's making, the moves
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: she's trying to be are very like veteran moves, but
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: like you said, I think once she kind of gets
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: settled a little bit more feels the rhythm of the game,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: should be able to tone back, tone back those turnovers
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: and those styles. But she looks incredible and I think
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be a huge off the bench boost for them.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you mentioned ali Isabelle the confidence she's in
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: better shape too. Who's been the most pleasant surprise of
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: anybody on this team so far?
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: That's contributed.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, as I could pick one player, I
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: think Blanco obviously was a great surprise. Alie has been
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: really fun to watch her to step into that role
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: of hey, I can jump in when you need me,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: and I can hit shots when you need.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: And I think also kk Kay's leadership.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: To me has been very, very fun to watch her
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: stepping into that role of now the point guard. Right.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: You know, we've seen her be a point guard, we're
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: going to be a backup point guard.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: But now she's the point guard, and you see her.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Leading more, you see her directing, you see her calling plays,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: calling huddles. I think her just poise on the court
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: has really shifted too. Now she is relaxed and in control.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Not that she was never not in control, but I
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: feel like now stepping into the leadership spot, you see
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: her a little bit more taking a breath and fighting
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: her pace instead of forcing things to happen.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Kk, I think at least as of Sunday or
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Tuesday was fifth nationally and assistant turnover and number one
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: is you know her teammate has it all? Okay, Sunday
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: it's the Paul. Then you get some testers, go to
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: USC Marquette ope for the conference season, and I think
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I was going to push him at Barkley Center. Those
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: are three good games. I think we're gonna find out
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a little more about this basketball team.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, and I think those are the only three tests
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: until we really get to Notre Dame in Tennessee down
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: in January February. I have what looks really good. I
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: think USC does look is getting not off credit for
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: what they are. Yes, they don't have Juju, but they've
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: had six months to plan with what they'll look.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Like without Juju. Right, they know who they need to
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: step up, they need who need they know who needs
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: to do what.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I think that they surely hit some bumps so far
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: this year, but I think they look very good and
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I think that game isn't gonna go as people think
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: it's gonna go in terms of just the fight and
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: competition they're gonna bring. You know, it's in La right,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: they have the home crowd there. It'll be a really
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: big game. So I'm very excited to see how that
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: plays out.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they hit some free throws. They should have beaten
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame in South Bend. They had a tough day
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: at the free throw line. Uh is Marquette the second
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: best team in the Big East in your mind? Or
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: is Villanova?
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: I mean I might being towards Marquette. You know, they
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: brought back everybody. Did you see that?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: They It was a single piece, which is just like
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: unheard of in this era. So I think that's really
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: gonna help them in terms of their chemistry, in terms
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: of just you know, they don't have to restart, right,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: they already are at this level.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: They already were.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Challenging newkn a lot last year. So I think they'll
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: probably be number two. Creating unfortunately lost a lot of
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: pieces just graduation, They lost their whole core. So I'm
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: curious to see how they'll look. But I think Villanova
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: will be right behind Marquette in terms of challenging you
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: call on in terms of really being that maybe number three,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: number four spot.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what about nationally they say hell Is Shoes number
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: one in the net rankings. They haven't played anybody. I
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: understand they're scoring the basketball, they haven't played anybody.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Yet, right, I mean to me, I don't know how
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: much net rankings really.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Matter until, yeah, especially on the December.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Exactly exactly when you really have not some teams have
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: really not played anybody worth your time. So I yeah,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: they'll shake its about how it needs to shake itself out.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Where did you have Duke at the beginning of the year.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: It seems like they have been the biggest disappointment of anybody.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, they went to South Florida and they got
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: smacked by the goals, the same team that you kind
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: of just smacked around on two.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I was honestly surprised at how high they were
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: ranked to begin of the year. I don't think I
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: did not have them that high. I think I have
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: the double check. I think I have them like in
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: the mid teens, maybe be like fourteen, but I did
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: not have them in the top ten.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: So I was so surprised that they made it in there.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, I think they've really fallen.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: NC State has fallen, right, you know, they were out
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: of the pool. They had a good win or not sorry,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: not a good one, a good loss yesterday against Oklahoma.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: But there's been some teams I think that had a
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: lot of hype coming in that maybe quite haven't put
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: all the pieces together just yet, and maybe I don't know,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: maybe they'll come back.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: They'll look a lot better come March.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: You know, March is totally a season away from where
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: it is now, but there's I think the consistent top
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: six seven are like the top will be the top
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: leaders throughout the season.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Duke gets LSU tonight, by the way at home. Finally,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: interesting take from Gino on a zoom pall last week
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: about the possibility of not going to MTES anymore unless
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: maybe you go to Vegas. That Vegas event. I mean,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: it's lucrative, but it changes the whole landscape of both
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: men's and women's events around Thanksgiving, right, I.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Would imagine they go back to some you know, I
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: think Yukon and Gino really liked that, you know, Thanksgiving
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: window of doing something that week. I know next year,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: they've already committed to play in South Carolina. I'm ohegan
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Thanksgiving a week, but who knows, maybe they'll find somewhere
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: warm to go, you know, early November, early December. Selfishly,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I would really like that, but I think it's a
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: fun way to get more to see more competitive teams early,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: you know, Yukon. That's something that they always try to
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: do with their non conference schedule, is schedule really good
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: teams early and then kind of that way, it sets
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: them up not only for a Biggies but more supportently
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: for March, and so I feel like I wouldn't be
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: surprised if they go back. I think Vegas would be
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: really fun, but I also think Vegas is a lot
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: like you said, it's a totally different environment. It's a
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: different kind of tournament. So I feel like that, I
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: don't know, I don't know. I feel like it'd be
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: interesting to see them compete in that.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Nothing will ever tap the Cayman, so nothing, that's right.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I had two very nice ladies for Thanksgiving dinner. One
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: was named Debbie, the other one was named Maggie.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: It was a wonder time. One of my favorite thanks
