- 0:00Speaker 1: Welcome to the Yukon Men's Basketball Coaches Show or with
- 0:03Speaker 1: Dan Hurley on Mike Crispino. A little later on, we
- 0:06Speaker 1: talked to one of the Yukon players as well. But coach,
- 0:08Speaker 1: let's catch up before you head to New York on
- 0:12Speaker 1: Black Friday to take on Illinois, and we'll talk about that,
- 0:16Speaker 1: but a couple of games to kind of review here.
- 0:19Speaker 1: University of Arizona came into Gamble and what you know,
- 0:23Speaker 1: most folks that were in the building said was one
- 0:25Speaker 1: of the great crowds that Gamble has seen for an
- 0:29Speaker 1: exciting top five matchup. Huskies don't come out on top,
- 0:33Speaker 1: but I just overall your sense of what happened that
- 0:38Speaker 1: night and what you thought your team got out of that,
- 0:41Speaker 1: if there's a way to describe.
- 0:42Speaker 2: That, Yeah, I mean trying to you know, backtrack there too, you.
- 0:46Speaker 3: Know, because you're you're when that's over, you're you're, you know,
- 0:50Speaker 3: you're kind of you're dealing with Bryant and you know
- 0:53Speaker 3: you're watching five of their games and the turnarounds pretty quick.
- 0:56Speaker 3: Then you play that game, and so much from went
- 0:58Speaker 3: on in that game is circulating through your brain. But
- 1:02Speaker 3: I would say that with the Arizona game was was
- 1:04Speaker 3: you know, just a situation where you.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Probably you know, walk out of it.
- 1:11Speaker 3: From a long term perspective, saying, if we get the
- 1:14Speaker 3: full squad on the court, you know, I really like
- 1:18Speaker 3: our chances of improving a lot and you.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Know, becoming a contender.
- 1:24Speaker 3: And the short term you're crushed because you're an opportunity
- 1:27Speaker 3: to steal it, you know, versus you know, a team
- 1:31Speaker 3: that was able to you know, exploit us on the backboard.
- 1:34Speaker 3: I think the only guy on our team this year
- 1:37Speaker 3: that has rebounded the.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Ball, well, it has been Taris. Literally, I think.
- 1:41Speaker 3: In every other position we've we've underachieved as rebounders, notwithstanding
- 1:47Speaker 3: Silus's you know, ten rebounds in the last game.
- 1:50Speaker 2: But yeah, so I think you're.
- 1:54Speaker 3: You're frustrated, You're you're gutted that you had a one
- 1:58Speaker 3: point lead with the chance to got to stop. You know,
- 2:01Speaker 3: they miss, you know, they miss a mid range pull
- 2:04Speaker 3: up pretty badly. Instead of us being able to grab
- 2:06Speaker 3: the ball and go down and give ourselves a chance
- 2:09Speaker 3: to score, you know, they pick it up off the floor,
- 2:11Speaker 3: turn and score, you know, and then obviously, uh, you
- 2:15Speaker 3: know the third you know, putting yourselves digging a thirteen
- 2:18Speaker 3: point hole is never a good idea, you know, versus
- 2:21Speaker 3: a real classy team. You know that they're they're a
- 2:24Speaker 3: very classy team. They got a great coach, they have
- 2:26Speaker 3: a classy program, they're they're they're you know, they're they're
- 2:29Speaker 3: big time and everything they and everything they do. And
- 2:32Speaker 3: I think that they'll be great contenders this year for championships.
- 2:35Speaker 3: But yeah, uh, long term, you know, if we can
- 2:39Speaker 3: get healthy, I think things will be. I think we
- 2:41Speaker 3: got a shot to be really good. But short term.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Brutal, no, no question about it. Second chance points in
- 2:50Speaker 1: that game were brutal, sixteen to five, and and and
- 2:54Speaker 1: the rebounding thing. We know what out terrorists, you're not
- 2:56Speaker 1: going to rebound as well. But I think what in
- 2:59Speaker 1: my mind what came out of that? And you can
- 3:01Speaker 1: disagree obviously it rebounding sometimes has to be a team thing,
- 3:05Speaker 1: doesn't It doesn't have to be five guys attacking the
- 3:07Speaker 1: glass and kind of coming up with things.
- 3:10Speaker 2: Yeah it does.
- 3:11Speaker 3: I mean there's there's effort, but then there's also you
- 3:14Speaker 3: got to have physical strength and you know what they brought,
- 3:17Speaker 3: and you have to have intention, you know. But I
- 3:19Speaker 3: would say they brought a very high level of physicality
- 3:22Speaker 3: into that, you know, into gamble, and they pushed us around.
- 3:27Speaker 3: They're physically way stronger than us. We did not play
- 3:31Speaker 3: with any type of physical strength whatsoever. And just to
- 3:34Speaker 3: be you know, to be to be minus twenty. And
- 3:37Speaker 3: then the forty two paint points, I mean they're literally
- 3:41Speaker 3: you know, just you know, from the beginning of the
- 3:43Speaker 3: scout with Luke all the way through you know, timeouts
- 3:47Speaker 3: and huddles, it was like, stop hugging non shooters and
- 3:52Speaker 3: forced these guys to throw the ball out of the
- 3:55Speaker 3: post and out of the paint to the three point
- 3:58Speaker 3: line and make these guys beat us at the three
- 4:00Speaker 3: point line. But just we we we made just so
- 4:04Speaker 3: many mistakes relative to the plan of the game, and
- 4:08Speaker 3: then we got physically overpowered, which you know, you play
- 4:12Speaker 3: at Yukon with the resources that we invest in in
- 4:15Speaker 3: everything relative to that, we shouldn't get dominated like that.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Yeah, the crazy stat of the game, and there were
- 4:22Speaker 1: ten lead changes seven times late couldn't hang on. But
- 4:26Speaker 1: the crazy stat to me, among others was fast break
- 4:28Speaker 1: points won by Arizona, none by Yukon, and well, Huskin
- 4:33Speaker 1: has been running the break pretty well I think in
- 4:35Speaker 1: the opening six games, don't you.
- 4:37Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was a slug fest. I mean
- 4:39Speaker 3: it was. It was truly a brutal battle. And I
- 4:44Speaker 3: think you know, both teams, they played really hard. They
- 4:48Speaker 3: knew points would be at a premium. They defended us
- 4:51Speaker 3: really well. We defended them really well, minus you know,
- 4:56Speaker 3: not defending the paint and being able to handle them
- 4:59Speaker 3: on the backboard. But yeah, I mean it was just
- 5:01Speaker 3: it was a low possession game and uh, I'm not
- 5:04Speaker 3: really sure who that favored.
- 5:06Speaker 2: I mean it was it was a net. It was
- 5:08Speaker 2: a net nothing.
- 5:11Speaker 1: And finally on that one Jadeen Bradley. I mean sometimes
- 5:14Speaker 1: these games, and Dan, you've been doing this a long time,
- 5:17Speaker 1: You've seen everything, Sometimes these games come down to like
- 5:20Speaker 1: a shot maker, just somebody who makes something on of nothing.
- 5:23Speaker 1: And I thought Jayden Bradley did that pretty well that night.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Yeah he did.
- 5:27Speaker 3: I mean he is uh, you know he's right now,
- 5:31Speaker 3: he's in he's in a real, real groove and he's
- 5:35Speaker 3: in a uh he's a part of the year where
- 5:37Speaker 3: his confidence the sky high, and he he's been closing games,
- 5:40Speaker 3: big games, he's been closing, so he's got this mindset
- 5:44Speaker 3: at the end of the games that he's going to
- 5:45Speaker 3: make the plays and and uh, you know, I think
- 5:48Speaker 3: you know Silas On that that that play that that
- 5:51Speaker 3: took it from one to three kind of like late
- 5:54Speaker 3: shot clock, you know, guarded pretty well, force him to
- 5:57Speaker 3: shoot the MIDI instead takes that shot fake and then
- 6:02Speaker 3: he you know, takes a couple of steps and steps
- 6:04Speaker 3: through and and gets the lay up there. But yeah,
- 6:08Speaker 3: I mean, the guy is playing as good as any
- 6:10Speaker 3: point guard in the country. And he's going to be
- 6:13Speaker 3: an NBA player. You know, they're they're they're they're going
- 6:16Speaker 3: to be right up there relative to the contenders for
- 6:19Speaker 3: you know, for for final fours, national championships.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. And Bradley also, he drew
- 6:24Speaker 1: seven fouls in that game. That's pretty darn good for
- 6:28Speaker 1: a week's worth of games. But he was a right one.
- 6:32Speaker 3: Yeah, we gifted some points, you know, we fouled him,
- 6:35Speaker 3: put him on the free throw line a couple of
- 6:37Speaker 3: times going for steels, and you know, just you know
- 6:40Speaker 3: a couple of times we uh, you know, in a
- 6:43Speaker 3: game where points are at a premium there, you know,
- 6:46Speaker 3: we committed some really bad fouls that led to uh,
- 6:49Speaker 3: he made free throws by them, and on a night
- 6:51Speaker 3: where we didn't make many free.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Throws, all right, uh on to Bryant and we'll be
- 6:56Speaker 1: back after a time out. Dan Hurley with us the
