  Chris Daily kind enough to join us to your court side for the daily recap
• 0:05
  and look the first three quarters Texas through the first punch, But I think
• 0:10
  you may have found something in that fourth quarter offensively. What did you see
• 0:13
  in the fourth Uh? Well, I thought we took advantage of their overplays,
• 0:17
  you know, I thought we had some of the freshmen come in and
• 0:20
  give us some a lift off the bench. Kkq Ash made a couple of
• 0:25
  threes. We just ended up doing some of the things that we had wanted
• 0:28
  to do most of the game, you know, taking advantage of the pressure
• 0:31
  they were putting they were putting on us. Unfortunately, turnovers was a big
• 0:35
  number today, and how they made you pay. Yeah, you know,
• 0:38
  we had five offensive fouls. That's a lot, you know, so you
• 0:42
  can't fortunately not all you know, a lot of them were dead ball turnovers.
• 0:46
  The worst thing is if you have a turnover and it's a live ball,
• 0:49
  and like they had a couple of runouts on us. But you know,
• 0:54
  I think there are times when when you lose games, and those you
• 0:57
  know, you never want to lose a game, but there are times a
• 0:59
  team and I think Texas beat us today. We didn't have enough. But
• 1:03
  we battled and battled, and we gave ourselves a chance late. And there's
• 1:07
  some things we have to clean up that we will and we're gonna get better
• 1:10
  from it. How stunned were you at the start the way Texas came out.
• 1:12
  I mean, this is a team that averages four made threes, and
• 1:15
  they made three in the first thing I know there and there, you know
• 1:18
  what, give them credit because they also made their free throws. The kid
• 1:23
  Worry Harmon is a fifty percent through free throw shooter, and as a team,
• 1:26
  they're not a good free throw sting team, and they shot seventy six
• 1:29
  percent from the line today, So they made the shots that they had to.
• 1:32
  We did a great job on their big kid, and then they had
• 1:34
  other kids come in and and just you know, chip away and some things.
• 1:38
  So if you would have told me that she had zero points, the
• 1:42
  kid forty four Jones, Yeah, if she had zero points, I would
• 1:46
  have thought we had you know, our chances were pretty good at that point,
• 1:48
  and we were still down. They made a lot of shots, but
• 1:51
  you know, I thought when they missed, we took advantage. We just
• 1:55
  you know, we didn't come up with two big rebounds late in the fourth
• 2:00
  that we needed to come up with in order to give ourselves a better chance.
• 2:02
  Yeah, Leah had one, unfortunately knocked out from behind that led the
• 2:05
  Muhammed hoop. Speaking of a Leyah at least from an offensive standpoint, good
• 2:08
  to see her get going today. No, Leah had a great game.
• 2:12
  You know, I thought she played well. She was physical, she battled
• 2:15
  the entire time. We just need to give her a little help. You
• 2:19
  know, we have to get some other people, you know, battling with
• 2:21
  her, whether it's Ice Aubrey. We're not going to get taller, but
• 2:24
  we can certainly be aggressive and physical, and there are a lot of teams
• 2:30
  that win with smaller lineups, so we're gonna have to be one of those
• 2:32
  teams. Yeah, and it's it's gonna take some time too. I mean,
• 2:36
  obviously three big missing pieces to this team, and you kind of have
• 2:38
  to regroup and figure things out. Yeah, I mean it's a process,
• 2:43
  and that's certainly what we're going to be doing. Hopefully we'll be winning while
• 2:47
  we're doing it. Right. If not, you know, I don't think
• 2:51
  you we're not going to cancel the season. So if anyone is worried and
• 2:57
  you know, people are having heart failure back in Connecticut. I can appreciate
• 3:00
  their their feelings, but it's a long season and we have a lot to
• 3:06
  work on, and certainly from today, I think these this is different from
• 3:09
  from the U. C. L A loss. You know, I feel
• 3:13
  like this is different. It feels different. So we feel like and there
• 3:17
  are no Marvel victories, so I'm not I'm not saying that. So I
• 3:20
  don't want any emails or anything like that about Marvel victories. I'm not saying
• 3:23
  that. I'm just saying it feels a little bit different, and we can
• 3:28
  get better from this, and and we're going to indeed, all right,
• 3:31
  we'll see on the plane. Thank you cowing up, Chris, appreciate it.
