• 0:13
  Speaker 1: an after show with the folks here. Husky's coming off
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: a pair of wins over Creighton and Marquettes to considue
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: their undefeated season.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: The win streak goes on, but let's start with Saturday.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: It's not supposed to be easy winning on the road,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and when you don't play at your best, you get tested.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: And that was the case. But the one constant that
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: has always been there, that is the dirty little secret
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of the success of this program is defense. You defend
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: it really well, despite you know, having some woe shooting
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the basketball in the first half, and then Sarah got going.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: It was asy and Sarah ak was phenomenal as well,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: start to finish.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: You know, it like Milwaukee was really pretty and it.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Was it was nice, like it was like fifty five.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: You go there, you go there in the middle of
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: February in Milwaukee, and I've been there at times over
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: the years, obviously a lot when it's teen below the
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: wind's coming off the lake. You know, there's snow everywhere.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: We go up there and it's fifty degrees, not a
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: you know, speca snow on the ground, people walking around
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: like in light sweaters. Sarah and my Assimi said, said,
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: you know, like there's no trash on the streets.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I said, well, this is in Italy.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: And it's and it's the Midwest. You know, these nice people,
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: they don't litter in the Midwest. So the only thing
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: ugly was the game. You know, sometimes we play pretty
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: basketball sometimes, you know, you love watching us play and
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: it's like, oh, isn't that great? You know, they go
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: flying up and down the floor. That guy gets a layup,
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: that guy gets a three pointer, that guy makes a
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: great move. Ah, yeah, you know, they're unbelievable. Did that
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: really look like the number one team in the country
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: to you the other day? So you know, sometimes for
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: different reasons, you know, you just end up in a
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: game where all the shots that you're used to making
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: early in the game don't go in. So instead of
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: the score being sixteen or eighteen to five, you know,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Sarah's one for eight, one for nine, yeah, one for
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: that first half, nobody can make any shots outside of yeah,
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: and then you know, obviously we kept throwing the boat easy,
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: which was good.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: And sometimes you get into.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: One of those games, and unfortunately we don't have enough
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: of them, you know, even in the non conference games
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: other than the Michigan game, we don't have enough of
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: those games where it's ugly, nothing works, everybody's a little
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: bit poudy and pissy because I can't make my shots,
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: you know, and then they lose their mind on defense
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: and they're not paying attention.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: The kid gets a layup, because that's.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: How players are, you know, if they can't score, they
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: lose their concentration on defense too, because they run back
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: on defense and like, why did that not go in?
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: And it usually goes in, and meanwhile the guy's cutting
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: back to her for left.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: You know. So, yeah, it was one of those games.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: And you know, then we had a great run and
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: we got up twenty and you go, okay, now you
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: know the game's going to end, you know, eighty to
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: eighty to forty five, and we took Sarah al Let's
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: give her a breather. You know, she's been in and
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: next thing, you know, we're up. I think we're down ten.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Do we go downten? It felt like we went from.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Up to downtown No No One by fifteen.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: We won by fifteen, So you know, I wish we
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: were more of those games, but it was good to
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: have one.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, we can talk about Asy's offense to
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the Cows come home second straight Big East Player of
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the Week on her for her, But defensively we talked
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: about this last week too.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Has been really good all year.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Maybe the signature play of her career defensively came in
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the Marquette game. Lee Vulker thinks she has an easy lamp.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Asy comes flying out of nowhere and gets a block. Yeah,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure easy would have done that two and
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a half three years ago.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't remember it. I don't remember if
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: she did, I don't think so.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Same with the couple of steals that she's gotten where
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: she steps in front of a pass. Yeah, these are
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: things that weren't happening a few years ago. But you know,
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: she's healthy and she feels really good about herself.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: She's comfortable taking a risk, and.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: The only thing missing I think in her game is,
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: and you know, it's just something that when you're such a.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Great shooter, you.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: You know, you just take as many shots as you can,
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: which are great. You know, we want that, but when
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: you're such a great free throw shooter, and this goes
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: for Sarah too, the two of them don't shoot enough
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: free throws. So we got to figure out a way
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: to do that. They make so many shots. Now, maybe
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: people just don't want to fall them.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe this scammy reporters don't foil those.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Two because they shoot the free throw line. So other
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: than that, you know, you watch Asy play and it's
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: like the Asy Fudd that you know we all saw
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: play in high school that can make shots from anywhere,
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: anytime and can single handedly keep you in a game.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: You know. So we have we have two great players.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: I know everybody else thinks that everybody's great on our team,
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: but we have two great players that can do things
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: that most normal players cannot do. And and Blanc is
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: going to play Wednesday night, so we'll have three players
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: that can do things that normal players can't do. You know,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Blanc also does things and normal players wouldn't want to do.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Well, she's a freshman.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And you know, in most games that you that
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: you look at the games that we won, we've had
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: two or three scores, two or three players play great,
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: but we also had the other guys.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Play really well, shoot the ball really well.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: And we didn't have that right, you know, like Ali
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: went from scoring thirty four points and make ten three.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: She didn't score you know, now, Yeah, I get it.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: You know, we're we have a team full of guys
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: that are a little bit sniffley under the weather, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: I guess it's going around. Everybody's got it. I guess
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: I don't know, so we're not immune to that. And
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: we looked sluggish and we looked slow, and we looked
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: like that. So there's a lot of explanations for it,
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: but I think it's a reminder that we can't just
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: go out there and go, hey, where Yukon And you're
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: a Marquette and we want the score to be ninety
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: to fifty, so could you accommodate us please?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Right, they played hard, they played got after her, and
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: I wasn't expecting anything less than Milwaukee.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: And they're a physical team, you know, they've always been.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: They've always been like that.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Yep, a lot of fifty to fifty balls. It was
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: a good scrap, all right. We'll come back with Gino.
• 7:51
