  Speaker 1: Back with Gino Oriama here on the Women's Basketball Coaches
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: show We've got yukon Women's basketball on Saturday, part of
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: a doubleheader day, women will take on either Butler or
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Saint John's in the Big East quarter Finals with a
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: noon tip eleven thirty on the radio, and then as
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: soon as we're done, we'll flip it over to Gamble
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: for the men's Senior Day festivities when they take on
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Seat and Haul in their regular season finale. Gino, I
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: guess we should talk a little bit about Page because
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: she has really picked things up both offensively being efficient
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: as she always has been, but the assists have really
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: piled up. The assist a turnover ratio for Page has
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: been really good. I think she's the national leader right
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: in the top three, as she has been all season long.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: But it seems like, and I think we touched about
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: this on the last show, when you're trying to get
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the pace pushed up a little bit, she's recognizing getting
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: out in transition, making that stretch pass a lot more,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: and we saw that, I guess starting with South Carolina
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: becoming more of a regular thing. Offensively, Yeah, it really
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: has been.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: You know, we always try to figure out like what's
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: our you know, what's our best way to attack the
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: other teams? And you know, we certainly like to play quickly.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: You know, I think our transition games as good as
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: anybody's in the country. You know, we like to play quickly.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: And sometimes, you know, you give the ball to KK
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: and she pushes the ball up the floor fast, and
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: that is one way. You put the ball in Page's
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: hand and she's able to get the ball foul on
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the felon in won dribble because she passes and sees
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: the floor so well. So we've had a lot more
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: opportunities to attack and transition. And then because Page has
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: the ball in her hands, we don't have to work
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: so hard to get her open against teams that you
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: know are going to be physical with her and not
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: let her get open. So there's both ways to do it.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: You know. Right now, I think KK and asy Titl
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: and Chen, you know, they're pretty comfortable just you know,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: we rearound the ball and there's Page, so just take
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: off and get up the floor and let's see what happens.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: But we are doing more with her. With Page, there's
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: been more plays run for her lately. Yeah, I think
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: since the South Carolina game, I don't think Easy and
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Ash have shot the ball particularly well. You know, like
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: they were shooting. You know, they're not even getting the
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: number of shots that they used to be getting. You know,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I don't think they're And He's funny the way that works.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: You know, when you're making a lot of shots, you
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: just work your butt off to get more shots. You know,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: when your girls are funny. You know, when when you
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: start missing a couple, they hide like I don't want
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: to miss anything.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: That's weird because they started to for tenants South Carolina,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and look what happens.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: That's what I mean, you know, and so I just
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: think you've got to keep after them, keep after them
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: to you know, not worry about the outcome and just
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: make sure that we get enough of them. I mean,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: that's been my mantra the whole season. You know, it's
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: not about the ones that don't go in, you know,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: you know, being asked a lot, you know, hey, you're
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: concerned about the ones that you know, what your shooting
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: percentage is and the two points. No, I get concerned
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: when we don't get enough of them. And you know,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: the Market game I think was one example you know,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: we didn't get enough of them. Now you say, wow,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: you shot sixty eight percent or whatever because you got
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: a bunch of twos that were easy, which is true.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: And oun't mind that at all. I'm not one of
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: these analytic nerds that says threes are better than twos
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: and we should take fifty threes every night. Sorry, that's
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: not me, you know, but you like to get our share,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: you know, twenty five at least every night, because I
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: figure if we do get twenty five, we're going to
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: make in double figures, and if our defense is pretty good,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: we're gonna I hope. Now that's the other bonus contention.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: When you press, you're not careful or you know, you
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: don't get back on d you know, we're not the
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: greatest three point fuel goal percentage defensive team, right. You know.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: So one of the areas of focus going in not
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: just to this weekend but the tournament is we got
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: to get more threes, make sure we get our share
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: every night, and then we got to do a great
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: job of not giving up any open trees. Yeah.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I think you talked about that on Sunday. G You know,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the ball screen coverages and I know the three point
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: defense hasn't been great. We've talked about that, but you
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: also put an emphasis on the ball screen coverage.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know who helps us with that. Ice
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: helps us with the ball screen coverage. And she hasn't
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: played in a while. She's really smart, you know, she's
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: you know, been here, played all last year and understands
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: has gotten really really good and understanding when where to
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: be position wise, how to move, you know, kind of
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: anticipate where's the guard going, where's the big guy going.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Jenna's still kind of trying to find her way in that.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: But we switch a lot on ball screens, and the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: other thing that we have to get better at is
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: our guys. Our guys run into ball screens. Our guys,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: our guys think ball screens are like swimming pools. They
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: just go face first. Somebody sets a ball screen, that
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: guy just turns around and gets it right in the
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: face with the ball skreen. I'm like, look, I don't
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: care if we're and you have to get over it
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: and you go under it, or we're going under and
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: you go over it. We can still figure that out
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: one out. I don't know what to do when you
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: guys keep hitting the thing phase first, it's confounding.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I can't so anyway, it's a lot of well as
