  Yukon Wednesday eighty four. Sixty four goes to seven and zero on the season.
• 0:03
  Mike Chrispino joined by Luke Murray. You kon, assistant coach Luke,
• 0:08
  this is a kind of an up and down wild game. You knew they
• 0:10
  were going to shoot threes, run fast breaks, and push the base,
• 0:14
  and they did all that. But you had pretty much every answer you needed.
• 0:18
  Yeah, you know, kind of disappointed, honestly, Like you mentioned,
• 0:21
  it was an up and down game, had a lot of different twists
• 0:23
  and turns to it. I thought, for a little while we were playing
• 0:25
  really good basketball in the first half until Baker got really hot from three.
• 0:29
  We lost him a handful of times. We knew coming in that he was
• 0:32
  a big time shooter, and we had kind of gone back and forth on
• 0:35
  putting a guard on him versus putting one of our centers on him. We
• 0:38
  decided to go with the center. I thought Donovan did a pretty good job.
• 0:41
  Samson lost him a couple of times, so we ended up making that
• 0:43
  switch in the second half. But like you mentioned, a lot of sloppy
• 0:46
  plays, some turnovers late, and a ton of missed wide open shots.
• 0:49
  Yeah, Jackson, Baker was who coach Murray's talking about thirty one minutes.
• 0:53
  He made six of ten from three, six of twelve overall, made five
• 0:57
  on a roll at one point. That can get a team excited and then
• 1:00
  get you guys a little deflated too, right when someone starts filling it up
• 1:03
  from out there. Yeah. Absolutely, I thought we were playing pretty good
• 1:06
  ball. I mean, I think there was about an eight minute stretch where
• 1:07
  we'd given up maybe three points, and then Jackson got really hot from three.
• 1:11
  Like you mentioned, we lost him a number of times in a row,
• 1:14
  which is wildly disappointing, and then Daniel's got an open one in transition
• 1:18
  as well. Robinson got to the rim a couple times. But then I
• 1:21
  thought we kind of settled in. We got up close to thirty at about
• 1:23
  the midway point of the second half, and then, you know, really
• 1:26
  disappointed in the way that we finished. Yeah, this isn't like you know,
• 1:29
  the football thing with the CFB and how you have to win the games
• 1:33
  with window dressing and how much you're beating a team by I don't think and
• 1:37
  I see what you're saying, there are there are a lot of things that
• 1:38
  could be better about what happened. Tonight, But you had to like what
• 1:42
  Donovan Klinton did, right, you got the ball down to him, made
• 1:44
  ten straight field goals, as he should against a team that has really lacks
• 1:48
  the kind of height that he has. Yeah, I mean definitely. I
• 1:51
  mean, for me, he was one of the few bright spots tonight.
• 1:53
  I thought, you know, we knew that going into the game, Baker
• 1:56
  is probably six six or six seven, you know, maybe two hundred and
• 1:59
  fifteen pounds, and we knew we had a major advantage inside. And I'm
• 2:01
  sure they probably looked at it as Baker's advantage on the perimeter, but we
• 2:05
  really wanted to establish Donovan inside. I thought he did a really terrific job
• 2:07
  of getting deep position and finishing. And Tristan Newton Cam Spencer again, they
• 2:12
  do a little bit of everything. Didn't shoot it great. Maybe Spencer was
• 2:15
  six for thirteen. They both had seventeen points. You get seven assists,
• 2:19
  ten rebounds from Newton and with Spencer you get a little bit of everything.
• 2:23
  Every game, three assists, four steals, seventeen points. Yeah, I
• 2:27
  mean, Cam's a really good player. You know. I think we probably
• 2:30
  all wish he made a couple of those shots that he had late a couple
• 2:31
  of good looks at it from three, but I thought he did a good
• 2:35
  job for the most part of settling this down. Tristan, you know,
• 2:38
  a little bit up and down, but I thought, you know, continued
• 2:39
  to continue to play. You know, seventeen points, seven assists, ten
• 2:43
  rebounds, got to the line, got nine free throw attempt so, you
• 2:46
  know, not a particularly clean game for us from a shooting perspective, you
• 2:50
  know, with Ak going over six and Tristan going over five and solo one
• 2:53
  for six, so we obviously got to shoot the ball a heck a lot
• 2:55
  better because I thought we got a ton of clean looks and it could have
• 2:58
  been a much better night for us. Yeah, final note on Newton's seven
• 3:00
  assists no turnovers. I mean, you'd love to see it. You're a
• 3:04
  guard, aren't you. Absolutely. I never loved that right here. I
• 3:07
  never had seven and none, but that was pretty good. That was big
• 3:10
  time from him. And you know, again, we tried to We wanted
• 3:13
  to come into the game with a game goal of single digit turnovers. Unfortunately
• 3:16
  ended up at twelve. But Tristan definitely did his part. All right,
• 3:20
  coach, We appreciate it. It's on to Kansas. Now the fun really
• 3:23
  begins. Let's go
