• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome aboard everyone to the first back to back basketball
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: coaches shows on this Monday night. And we start with
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Gino Oriema and later Dan Hurley next hour and we'll
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: visit with Terras Reed Junior on the men's side. We'll
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: also have one of Gino's players later. And let's do
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: it over you. First of all, we're three games in
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: teams one and them all. Good battle at Greensboro on
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Friday night, Gino, where your team figured out a way
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: to hang on and beat the tar Heels. But give
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: me your sense overall what you've seen first three games
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: from your team is the Huskies get ready to play
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Wednesday and then head of the Bahamas.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Well, I would say that there's a little bit of
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: a early pattern, you know, to how we're playing.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: When when we're struggling to to.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Make shots, you know, we.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: We get a little bit standing around, a little stagnant,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: and we lose our aggressiveness and and you know, I
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: attribute that some of that to you know, a lot
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: of young guys out there, a lot of different lineups
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: now that we have where you know, we maybe didn't.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Used to do that for a couple of years for
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: obvious reasons.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: But so there's been that, and then there's been incredible
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: moments where we just run off ten, twelve, fifteen straight
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: points like we did against you know, South Florida. You
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: know we score thirty points in the third quarter, or
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: you know what we did in the first quarter against.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: UNC.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: So I like what I've what I've seen because it
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: allows us to teach a lot of different things from
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: the not so great and it's something to build on
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: for all the great stuff that we're doing. So I'm
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty optimistic, to be honest with you.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Paige went, I gave you sixty over twenty nine
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: in the first ten minutes Friday night, and it didn't
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: seem like it, or I should say it seemed like
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: it was in the floor of the offense. There really wasn't,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you know, any just Page taking things over on our own.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: It just seemed like everything was going pretty well and
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: she just happened to have the ball in her.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Hands right right.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: There's very few times when you know, Page just goes
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: off on the tangent and by herself to just try,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: you know, try to get points on her.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Own that that that generally doesn't happen.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: I think the the aggressiveness, the the way she's moving
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: without the ball.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Now, how the first thing on her mind isn't necessarily
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: to get other people involved.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: So all that's been.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Really really good, and that's, you know, that's what we
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: need from her.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I have to figure out I have.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: To do a better job and make sure I don't
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: play her that many minutes in a row. You know,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: she may have even played almost the entire first quarter,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: and so I may need to, you.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Know, give her a breather once in a while and
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: keep her fresh. And but.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Right now, she's she's the best out there. So I'm
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I'm proud of her.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Gin know, has she fully embraced playing against contact, because
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: obviously if you're defending or that's how you play it, right.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, she's she's done a much better job with that.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I don't think I don't think the officials are on
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: her side.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: I think there's a you know, I think there's a
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: lot going on, and you know, she doesn't get the
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: benefit of the doubt a lot of times. But for sure,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: she's she's expecting to get a hit, she's expecting the contact,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: and that's that's one more thing that that she's going
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: to eliminate from what the other team could do. And
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: she's not you know, she's not shying away from anything.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: So I think that's a good thing.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Sarah Strong did not have the best shooting game,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: particularly on the perimeter, but still finished with a double double.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: She gave his six assists. She gave maybe five blocks.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I think of Eliah Edwards on
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the perimeter, the way she defends. She has such quick hands.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: She may be deceivingly quick. But this young this young
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: lady has shown me, shown us a lot of good
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: things so far.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Well, there's a there's a lot to her game.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: You know, there's a uh, there's the defensive part on
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: the perimeter. There's the rebounding, there's the block shots on
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: the defensive end. You know, there's the pushing the ball
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: that transitions sometimes there's uh.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: You know, her ability to pass and see the floor
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: is just spectacular for a big kid. Uh.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: And she gets a lot of open shots, and she'll
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: continue to get those and those.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Are going to start going in.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: And when that starts to happen, there's there's really not
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: much that that you could do because she just has
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: so many different ways to impact the game, and she's
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: only played three games, you know, in her career, so.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: It should be it's gonna be fun to watch her.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Is there a part of her game? I mean, we've
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: only seen her for three games, and maybe if you're
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: lucky to go to a little bit of practice, but
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you see her every day. Is there a deceptive part
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: of her game that doesn't get enough attention?
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I would say the subtle ways that she.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Keeps the ball alive sometimes when she can't get the rebound.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: A.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Catch that she'll make that someone else won't make, you know,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: just little.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Things to save.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Your you know, your possession and you know, take a
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: possession that's going sideways that make it go right. So, yeah,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of subtleties to her game. And then
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: obviously there's a lot of things that jump right out
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: at you.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she made a great catch against USF and then
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the tip where KK actually got the steal and then
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Sarah went for the layup. Yeah, little things like that.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: They all add up more with Gino on the Yukon
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Women's Basketball Coach the Show here Onlearfield. When we continue
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: here in just a moment, stay with us
