- 0:00Speaker 1: Hi, everybody, Welcome to cafe or in Manchester. We're just
- 0:03Speaker 1: talking about the Olympic hockey team that one Sunday. By
- 0:06Speaker 1: the way, today's the anniversary of the eighty team actually
- 0:09Speaker 1: winning the gold medal. They beat Finland four two eleven am.
- 0:13Speaker 1: And of course Sunday was the anniversary when they beat
- 0:16Speaker 1: the Russians. Genorem is with us. We're here to talk
- 0:18Speaker 1: to you kind of women's basketball. He's also a hockey fan.
- 0:20Speaker 1: I'm sure if I bring up you kind of hockey
- 0:22Speaker 1: he'll ask me. But right now, senior Day is in
- 0:25Speaker 1: the books. And again, postgame do you like that?
- 0:31Speaker 2: I mean, given the league.
- 0:32Speaker 1: And usually you know, you know you're going to take
- 0:34Speaker 1: care of business at home, do you do.
- 0:37Speaker 2: You like the postgame? It doesn't feel rushed to get
- 0:40Speaker 2: used to. That's the best part, right, Yeah.
- 0:45Speaker 3: You have a certain amount of time because the other
- 0:48Speaker 3: team wants to play, so you don't have the game
- 0:53Speaker 3: to yourself, you know.
- 0:54Speaker 4: So you have a limited amount of time to do it.
- 0:59Speaker 3: And you know, if you have five players and you
- 1:04Speaker 3: know that's a lot. So after the game you can
- 1:07Speaker 3: stay as long as you want.
- 1:09Speaker 4: You know.
- 1:10Speaker 3: The danger in doing it that way, obviously, is one
- 1:15Speaker 3: you don't win, which it is what it is, or
- 1:18Speaker 3: too you know, some fans need to go and so
- 1:22Speaker 3: they don't stay. But generally we did it last year,
- 1:26Speaker 3: we did it again this year, and I think that's
- 1:28Speaker 3: the way to go.
- 1:29Speaker 2: After the game, Yeah, it worked out well.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Yeah, the story of the game on Sunday, there were
- 1:34Speaker 1: a few tied up program record for forcing most turnovers
- 1:38Speaker 1: in a game, thirty nine, and it stays in Rhode
- 1:41Speaker 1: Island because Rhode Island was the other team in nineteen
- 1:43Speaker 1: ninety seven, so it stays in the same state. Twenty
- 1:46Speaker 1: six steals season high, and by the way, you're close
- 1:49Speaker 1: to breaking the program record for steals in a season.
- 1:52Speaker 1: That's gonna fall this season. And the other one. You
- 1:55Speaker 1: had a lot of open looks in the first half,
- 1:58Speaker 1: and you said in the postgame press conference clang clang clang.
- 2:02Speaker 2: But that's gonna happen sometimes.
- 2:05Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
- 2:07Speaker 3: They asked me if I saw how if I knew
- 2:09Speaker 3: that we had thirty nine we forced thirty nine turnovers,
- 2:11Speaker 3: I said, no, I didn't know that because my eyes
- 2:14Speaker 3: were hurting from watching all those three pointers and my
- 2:19Speaker 3: ears hurt from all the clanging on the rim. It's
- 2:22Speaker 3: pretty embarrassing.
- 2:23Speaker 4: You know.
- 2:24Speaker 3: I don't think any team in America shoots during practice
- 2:27Speaker 3: at practice as much as we do.
- 2:29Speaker 4: So just goes to show you.
- 2:31Speaker 3: You know, you have a night like that in March
- 2:34Speaker 3: against a really good team and you pack it up
- 2:37Speaker 3: and season's over.
- 2:38Speaker 4: So you gotta you gotta figure out a way to
- 2:46Speaker 4: do other things and.
- 2:52Speaker 3: Uh, playing defans, forcing turnovers, getting down transition, trying to
- 2:56Speaker 3: get into the lane and get it layups, get to
- 2:58Speaker 3: the free throw line, speaking of which, you know, we
- 3:02Speaker 3: made a huge point to not foul and Providence did
- 3:08Speaker 3: not shoot a free throw in the entire game.
- 3:12Speaker 1: That happens usually like once or twice a year. Yeah, yeah,
- 3:16Speaker 1: not totally unusual.
- 3:17Speaker 4: Yeah yeah.
- 3:18Speaker 3: And they had just won four games in a row
- 3:22Speaker 3: in the league, Providence had, matter of fact, our last
- 3:25Speaker 3: game was.
- 3:30Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they beat the Paul.
- 3:34Speaker 3: So I was just hoping that we would play well
- 3:38Speaker 3: and uh, get get healthy. That's more more than anything else,
- 3:43Speaker 3: you know, just get healthy and get everybody over whatever
- 3:45Speaker 3: this is that's been you know, it used to be
- 3:48Speaker 3: that if you got sick, you had the flu for
- 3:50Speaker 3: three or four days. You know, you knock it out.
- 3:53Speaker 3: And now it's last forever. You know, everybody gets sick,
- 3:56Speaker 3: it's like two weeks. So if we can get rid
- 3:59Speaker 3: of it, we'll be fine.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Gina, lets get a little skewed because of the starting
- 4:03Speaker 1: lineup that you had, but you had a season high
- 4:05Speaker 1: fifty seven bench points.
- 4:06Speaker 2: Now, yes again skewed.
- 4:07Speaker 4: Yeah, when you're bringing Sarah, that's pretty good.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Yeah, off the bench and I kind of figured that
- 4:13Speaker 2: would that would happen.
- 4:14Speaker 4: You know, so that's not a bad thing. Maybe we
- 4:17Speaker 4: should do it more often, huh, Sarah.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Sarah made the most of her thirteen minutes. By the way,
- 4:21Speaker 1: you always talk about being it it's economical, six or
- 4:25Speaker 1: seven will do that.
- 4:25Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, it was a weird It was a weird lineup.
- 4:30Speaker 3: I mean, you know when you we ran it out
- 4:31Speaker 3: there or like in the first quarter, you know, like
- 4:36Speaker 3: we're going to blow these guys out two to one, and.
- 4:41Speaker 4: For a long time it was two to one. It
- 4:44Speaker 4: was uh, but it was two to one then, wasn't it.
- 4:47Speaker 3: The Yeah, yeah, sometimes you know you get weird lineups
- 4:53Speaker 3: when you got uh seniors out there and Matt and
- 4:57Speaker 3: if Ice wasn't hurt, there'd be another weird starter out
- 5:00Speaker 3: there at a weird position. You know, I would have been,
- 5:04Speaker 3: you know, just hilarious to watch that. But the worst
- 5:10Speaker 3: thing that could happen on Senior Night, you know when
- 5:13Speaker 3: it happened. I don't know if you guys remember this.
- 5:14Speaker 3: A while back, Christine Rigby big Kid, transferred in from

- 5:25Speaker 3: a Canadian Mounted Police officer, right riding around a horse
- 5:31Speaker 3: in Canada, you know, and she came here. She's probably
- 5:37Speaker 3: like six' six, maybe but you, know she wasn't really
- 5:42Speaker 3: quick or, mobile but you, know she was a big
- 5:46Speaker 3: body that could score around the. Basket but we had
