  Speaker 1: Back on the Yukon Men's Basketball Coaches show, Dan Hurley
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: with us a coach, we before we leave the Marquet
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: game and talk about Saint John's here Solo ball seven threes,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: twenty five points. How about the double double though, coach
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: she' said double digit rebounds. Now twice you've been harping
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: on the guards help us out on the boards, and
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: apparently he's heeded the message pretty well.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean for everything else that Samson gives you,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: it's like, you know, it's you know, we need the guards, uh,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: you know to get down there and uh and the
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: rebound and and Liam being out has hurt that, and
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Solo is capable of becoming a much better rebounder on
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: both backboards. And it's just it's great to see, you know,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: a guy who's having the success he's having offensively, you know,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: still identify that, like I got to do the grimy
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: stuff to help my team. I think that's why, you know,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: you get some of these things you you're in the
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: offseason when you're trying to predict, like you know, I'm
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: going to get this from this player. I mean, he's
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: surpassed what we hope we'd get from solo this year.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: You know, we were thinking, you know, he gets you
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: twelve thirteen a game and shoot the ball really really well.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: But you know he's he's exceeded our expectations.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned it a couple of times as a
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Yukon guy. And when you build him like that like
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: you have and Jim Calloun before that, that's what gets
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Yukon Husky fans excited. I got to tell you. So
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the rebounding thing, Yukon hasn't been as good at it
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: this year as they have been in the past. Obviously
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: no clinging around to clean things up and a few
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: other guys. But thirty six twenty six was the advantage
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: against Marquette. I know they're not a great rebounding team,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: but did you see something in that game that tells
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you you're improving in that category?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean we you know, we did give up
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the you know, the seventeen offensive rebounds, which was obviously
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: a huge number and a big negative. And going into
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: the Saint John's game in particular, they're there, They're what
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: we've always been on the glass. I mean, they're that uh,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: they're that dominating on the glass.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: So uh, you know, I.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Just think it's you know, part of it is you
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: lose a center who's seven to two, that's a vacuum.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: You lose a sixty.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Four six ' five point guard in in In Tristan Newton, Uh,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Stephan Castle. You know, Liam being out has certainly hurt
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: because he's a pretty good rebounder. But yeah, it's also
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: too it's a personality, it's an attitude, it's a it's
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: an intensity that we just haven't been able to find.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I think overall with the team, you.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Know, like uh consistently this uh you know, this this
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: incredible all out efforts all the time. I think, you know,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: starting to see it from Jay Ross and and uh
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: you know, and and and more from Solo in terms
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: of like rebounding and playing hard.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: But we just haven't been able to get their overall
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: as a team.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Uh, we don't have that nasty personality and demeanor.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: And yeah, the Husky's five and two on the road,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: good number. Well, when you saw Cam Spencer walk into
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the locker room the other night in Milwaukee, did you
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: offer him a uniform? Did you try to get him
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: some sneakers? Did you try at least to get him
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: on the court.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was giving away what number was he twelve?
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I mean if obviously, if anyone was wearing that number
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: outside of Caravan, maybe I would have that person was
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: losing the number and Cam was gonna be wearing a mask. Yeah,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I mean Cam, just seeing him was before the game
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: was a lift. And then having him and Andre behind
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the bench I had a big impact, I think, you know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: just on the team, on the spirit, on the group's
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: mentality and spirit. Just having those guys so close yelling
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: stuff from behind the bench of people.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: That was great. Have both the champs there.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And once again Alex Caravan forty minutes. I mean this guy.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: You can't ask much more from this guy. I mean
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: fifteen points, five boards, he gets more blocks, he gets
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: a couple of steals, three assists, and that's just numbers stuff.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: But Dan waits me awful lot, Mike.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I know, I don't want to interrupt you, but I
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: go to send somebody to scores table and he's been
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: waving me off as we're close to a media timeout.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Coach, let me just finish the timeout.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: And I've promised him too. When Liam is back, I
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: promise you the forty minute streak. Well, I don't want
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: to say never. But you know, with Liam Healthy, I
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: promise you he's gonna We're gonna arrest him some So.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: The guy's a warrior, let's face it, all right. So
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Saint John's now they come in here, they're having the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: best year they've had twenty five years. I mean, it
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: goes back a while. Rick Patino's their second year. Is
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: this team that he has now similar to the teams
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: he had back at Louisville in those years when they
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: made a run and won all those games, went to
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the NCAA Tournament and all les stuff. Is this similar
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: formula The way they play, I.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Mean the you know, the defense and the rebounding.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I mean you know that those are like legit, you know,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I think championship level defense, championship level you know, rebounding obviously,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: the offensive rebounding, uh, you know, the the offensive rebounding
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: has has helped uh, you know, their offensive numbers and
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: then then them creating turnovers has helped their you know,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: their their offensive numbers as well. You know, you watch
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: them in a non conference you could see you know,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: even having played Baylor, uh shortly after they played Baylor,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: so he had a chance to kind of watch them
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: and the cross scrap across scout of that of that,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: they've obviously come a long way, and that was a
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: game that they had a great chance to win and
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: go back and you know, watch their game versus Georgia.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: You know they're they're uh, they're playing much better in
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Big East play, you know, and looked like has got
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: as good a chance as anyone, uh, you know, to
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: win the league. You know, because of that defense and
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: the rebounding, and you know they're older and they're physical
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: and talented and.
