  Speaker 1: Chris Dally has joined us for the daily recap after
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: the Huskies went Overseat in the Hall today. Boy, it
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: was fun to watch that offensive efficiency, particularly in the
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: first three quarters when everything just seemed to be in
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: a really good flow.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Today, well, you know, when we move, and we moved
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: the basketball were much more difficult to defend in our offense.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: The last couple of games, we've been a little more stagnant.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: So that was one of the focuses in practice the
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: last couple of days and then certainly today, to get
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: more people movement, more ball movement, and I think, you know,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: we found ourselves open and made a lot of open shots.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: The threes, you know, obviously we shot sal are the
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: only shots she missed in the first half of the
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: layup and she doesn't usually miss that, and it was
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: a tough catch. But just overall, everybody played really well.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: From your standpoint, was it a point of emphasis to
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: get to Sarah the ball earlier or is that just
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the way things flowed in the offense.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Now that was the way I mean we Obviously you
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: want to get your best players the most shots and
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: to get them started early, but that it was more
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: out of the movement, and we had a lot of
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: great ball movement. We made a lot of extra pasth says,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: you know, we're doing a much better job of getting
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: into the gaps and then kicking, and then we have to,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: you know, get a little bit better at our decision making.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Sometimes when you get so deep into lane, you can't
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: pass it, so you have to shoot it. And sometimes
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: we look to shoot it, I mean to pass it
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: too much. So the way it works is you have
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: to look like you want to score and that you're
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: going to score, and then the pass happens. If you
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: go in in trying to pass the ball, everybody knows that,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: including the other team, so you have to really go
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: in thinking score. Pass has happened from there.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: So little tidbit for you give us the insight to
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: the defenses after and it seemed the game or the
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: scout may have been to really as you usually do,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: make things tough for their leading score Faith and Sonia
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: sm She had a tough time, a lot of turnovers,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: but by committee it seemed to be knowing where she
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: was at all times and make things difficult.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: For well going in. I think we're most concerned with Faith,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: who is their leading scorer and Jada e is a
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: little freshman point guard number zero who's really good. She's
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: had a a great freshman year so far. And our
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: focus was on those two, was on those two players
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: and to limit the things Faith. You know, if she's
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: not scoring, she's generally doing something that's getting them open shots.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: And I thought we did a really good job limiting
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: her her good looks and then staying home and not
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: allowing her to find the open player. And with jdas
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I thought we did, she got the you know, she
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: ended up with fourteen. She's averaging twenty I think in
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the league. But she got those when the game was over,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: she did not get them. I thought Page started out
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: on her, and then you know, by committee, I think
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Caitlin Garter a little bit, KK did because we were
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: switching some so we made it difficult on their two
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: best players. And if you do that then you have
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: a chance, and you're making the shots the way we
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: did and running our offense, then you're in pretty good shape.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Paige defender Gino. I asked Gino about this early in
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the year, and you.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Put those two words together, I know, Paige.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: And defendence, but he did say that she's a better
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: off ball defender as opposed to being an on ball defender.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: But that's the next thing she has to take step
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: to get, you know, to really be good at the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: next level. Have you seen improvement in that.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: In some you know, I think she she does a
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: pretty good job. She tries to use her length, and
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: that was one of the reasons she started out on
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Aids because we thought her length would would give her
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: would give the point guard a little bit of trouble.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: But you know, you have to you have to determine
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: is it do you want to do that and have
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: because the Aids runs around a lot and has the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: ball a lot and wear page out on the defensive
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: end like that, or do we want her more ready
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: for the offensive end. So you have to try to
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: balance that and give her an opportunity because she likes
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: the challenge of trying to have to defend players. And
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: you know, she's not as much like Niko was, like,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: let me guard her. She's not scoring, and Nica wouldn't switch.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: And Nico wouldn't do anything if she had the best player,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: she wouldn't even if we said switch. She's not switching
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: because she doesn't want the kid to score. But so
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: in that way, you know, I think she has improved,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: but she is a much better defender off the ball.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Can you speak to Sarah Strong how she is because
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: she's I mean, for a freshman, she seems to be
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: able to get in passing or have instinct anyway to
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: pick off she has.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: You know, I keep saying this every every time I'm interviewed.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: She's got great hands and great feet, and you know,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: her feet, her footwork allows her to go against you know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: quicker players who she has quick hands, so she gets
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: some deflections and some of the steals she gets you
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: don't even think that she's going to get them. And
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: then she also is able to rebound outside her area
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: and is great because of her hand, she can go
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: up and secure the ball. So you know, it starts
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: with that. And she's a soccer player when she was
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: grown up, which also helps with that experience. But it
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: might also explain her pace sometimes because she kind of
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: goes with the flow and that's what they do in soccer,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: right at least that's what it looks like to me. Yeah,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: but you know, she's she's just she's gifted. She has
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: a good sense and she's an unselfish player. She's totally unselfish,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: and most of the time she's looking to pass her
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: when she probably should be shooting. You know, she's Page
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: must have taught her that before she came.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: You can see that. And sometimes when she even how
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: she picks off the steel and it was almost like, sorry,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: I'm going to make this lay up. You should I
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: give it to you, right, You see that A couple.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: While, hopefully we're going to be able to get that change,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: because I you know, she's got the she could score forty.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I think at any point. Yeah, you know, I think.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know that she wants to. I don't know
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: that she thinks that way, but you know she's gonna
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: need to, you know. I think that's the next you
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: talk about growth in somebody's game, not that you have
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: to shoot the ball every time you touch it, but
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: you have to work and know that you can and
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: then take advantage of those opportunities and not pass them
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: up because a lot of times like this happens with Paige.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: When you pass it up, you put us in a
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: bad spot. You put your teammates in a bad spot.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Like there was a Page took a pull up, or
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: she took two dribbles and instead of one dribble, and
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: she took away her own shop by taking the second dribble,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: and so you know, that kind of stuff you have
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: to learn.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: We're night team games. In the consistency that Sarah has had.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I know, she's the number one recruit coming out of
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: high school. But when you've been able to be stay
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that consistent for that long so far, knock on wood,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: you're doing something special.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: You know, she has a in Both her parents played
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: and are involved in coaching, and at some level she's
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: been around the game and she really knows basketball. Like
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: the questions she asks are real basketball questions and wanting
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: to know whether you know, should I do this or this?
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Like it's just different for a freshman. She's very knowledgeable
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: about the game and her instincts are really good. So
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: you know, it's it's only going to get better from here.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: And she's already pretty good.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: That's what's amazing too, right in that sense, as far
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: as knowing now that school's going to be, the semester's
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: going to be getting and everything. I'm happy with how
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: players are nice that you know, Okay, we just have
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: to worry about basketball at the same time, we just
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: have to worry about basketball. Yeah, and then going to
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: that next Is that any operation or is it a
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: good thing they're getting back into.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: The No, I think they. I think they actually like
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the change and having a different routine. When you're an
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: over break, I have no idea what data is because
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: every day practice is the same. It's it's just just weird.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: So once you get into the school year, you have
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: a different sense because the kids are back in class
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: and classes get out here and it changes things. And
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I think it's a good thing.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I think the break is good, but I also think
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: getting back into routine is good.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: And how about the crowd.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: The crowd is amazing.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: This felt like that a Paul game last year where
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: we hadn't played here in a while and we smoked
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the Blue Demons. It felt that same way today.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And to have so many people show up with
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: the uncertainty of the weather just to speaks volumes for our fans.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: And you know when they talk about the basketball capital
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: of the world having the sellout, yes, Draight for the
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: men in our sellout today. And I mean it's different
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: here and we know that we had. You know, you
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: have people visit from other parts of the country and
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: they get to experience the firsthand. So it's I thank
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: all the fans for coming. Hopefully they're driving home safely
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: and they'll be back out. We're here again on Wednesday,

• 8:10
