0:43
Speaker 1: have you with us on a Thursday as fortune of
0:45
Speaker 1: the program is brought to you by Radiant Dentistry. Coming up,
0:49
Speaker 1: talk a little basketball from last night. We've got a
0:52
Speaker 1: high school report.
0:53
Speaker 3: We have an.
0:53
Speaker 1: Abbreviated edition of the Clark Eisenhower Outdoor additional because at
0:59
Speaker 1: five point fifteen we're making way for women's basketball. But
1:04
Speaker 1: in Milan, Italy today, the United States won the gold
1:08
Speaker 1: medal in hockey women's hockey. But wasn't that easy. Canada
1:15
Speaker 1: scored early in the second period and led one to nothing.
1:19
Speaker 1: US pulled their goalie and with an extra attacker, captain
1:24
Speaker 1: Hillary Knight scored the tying goal with two minutes and
1:28
Speaker 1: four seconds remaining and four minutes and seven seconds in
1:32
Speaker 1: the overtime, Megan Keller scored the gold medal winner US
1:38
Speaker 1: two Canada. One earlier, the Swiss won the bronze in overtime.
1:45
Speaker 1: Two went over Sweden. By the way. The US women
1:49
Speaker 1: are now three and four in gold medal games against Canada.
1:54
Speaker 1: The men play in the semifinals tomorrow afternoon against Slovakia.
2:00
Speaker 1: Canada and Finland play the other semi final game. The
2:06
Speaker 1: Agimen improved to eighteen and eight basketball last night, eight
2:10
Speaker 1: and five in the SEC. There was a big sigh
2:13
Speaker 1: relief from everybody. They had to come from thirteen down
2:18
Speaker 1: to get it done. Rashwan ag led the way with
2:22
Speaker 1: seventeen points ten boards, Marcus Hill and Zach Clements each
2:27
Speaker 1: had fourteen and Ruben Domingus. What did we say yesterday
2:32
Speaker 1: on the show? I said, if Ruben Domingus can hit
2:36
Speaker 1: two three pointers, I think A and M will win
2:40
Speaker 1: the game. Ruben Domingus hit two three pointers, ended up
2:45
Speaker 1: with thirteen points. Aggie's come from behind and win eighty
2:51
Speaker 1: to seventy seven. They will be in Norman to play
2:55
Speaker 1: Oklahoma Saturday night. That game is at seven point thirty
3:01
Speaker 1: on the SEC Network elsewhere in the SEC. Last night
3:09
Speaker 1: Tennessee got Oklahoma and in one of the games of
3:14
Speaker 1: the year, one of the games of the year, Alabama
3:21
Speaker 1: and Arkansas one twenty to one seventeen. Darius A Cup
3:30
Speaker 1: scored forty nine points. Last night, Missouri hung on by
3:38
Speaker 1: a fingernail to beat Vanderbilt eighty one to eighty and
3:47
Speaker 1: Mississippi State came from behind and beat Auburn. And that
3:56
Speaker 1: was a heck of a game too. Let's see, oh
4:01
Speaker 1: I need to well, I don't have that here in
4:03
Speaker 1: front of me, but I will get that. It seems
4:07
Speaker 1: like that Kansas basketball coach Bill Self is getting a
4:10
Speaker 1: little perturbed with Darren Peterson, the presumptive number one pick,
4:15
Speaker 1: coming up from pulling himselves out of the game. He
4:19
Speaker 1: scored twenty points in the first half, played three minutes
4:24
Speaker 1: of the second half, and came out after hitting a
4:27
Speaker 1: three pointer with quote a cramping issue. It's a concern,
4:33
Speaker 1: said self. I thought we were past it, but obviously
4:38
Speaker 1: we're not. It's certainly a concern. Let's see what else
4:47
Speaker 1: we have. Chris Acopian, second baseman. You know he didn't play.
4:55
Speaker 4: Was it? Yeah?
4:56
Speaker 1: One of the games, the last game against Tennis see
5:00
Speaker 1: Tech over the weekend. Said he was ill, but apparently
5:06
Speaker 1: he wasn't ill. He has a back issue. Michael Early
5:10
Speaker 1: said today he's fine. We said he wasn't feeling right.
5:15
Speaker 1: Then it turned into Chris is sick. He had a
5:19
Speaker 1: bit of a stiff backs. Precautionary, We'll see. He's going
5:25
Speaker 1: to be okay. He was four for nine with four
5:29
Speaker 1: RBIs and a couple of walks. Transfer of course from
5:34
Speaker 1: Maryland and the Aggie baseball team will begin a series
5:41
Speaker 1: with pen tomorrow night at six o'clock. We will be
5:46
Speaker 1: on the air with the pregame at five forty five.
5:50
Speaker 1: They will play against Saturday afternoon at two and Sunday
5:55
Speaker 1: afternoon at one. The Major League Baseball Players Association has
6:01
Speaker 1: a new leader, at least for the time being. Deputy
6:04
Speaker 1: Executive Director Bruce Meyer has been made interim executive director.
6:10
Speaker 1: The union said in a statement. Meyer will continue to
6:13
Speaker 1: act as the mlbpa's chief negotiator for the union's next
6:19
Speaker 1: basic agreement. The veteran labor attorney replaces Tony Clark, who
6:25
Speaker 1: left the union after it was found that he had
6:28
Speaker 1: maintained an inappropriate relationship with his sister in law, who's
6:33
Speaker 1: a coworker. Clark's departure was not great for the union.
6:41
Speaker 1: The collective bargaining agreement expires December first. It's believed that
6:47
Speaker 1: owners desire for a salary cap will lead to lengthy negotiations,
6:54
Speaker 1: and we've kind of joked before that Kirby Smart needs
7:00
Speaker 1: to do a defensive driving course for his football team.
7:07
Speaker 1: Two more Bulldogs have been arrested for misdemeanor reckless driving charges.
7:16
Speaker 1: Linebackers Chris Cole charged with reckless driving and speeding maximum limits,
7:21
Speaker 1: while Darren mckinnebong faces misdemeanor charges of reckless driving following
7:28
Speaker 1: two closely and speeding maximum limits. I think you could
7:34
Speaker 1: cut and paste this statement from what we've seen over
7:38
Speaker 1: the last few years. We are aware of the charges
7:42
Speaker 1: and are actively gathering additional information. As this is an
7:48
Speaker 1: ongoing legal matter, we will not be providing further comment
7:52
Speaker 1: at this time. I suggest they put that on the
7:55
Speaker 1: front page of their website. Just issue statements saying see
8:00
Speaker 1: our comment on our website. Cole, by the way, was
8:04
Speaker 1: one of the Bulldog's top pass rushers last year, team
8:07
Speaker 1: high four and a half sacks, fifty nine tackles, and
8:13
Speaker 1: now driving issues. I don't know what. I don't know
8:20
Speaker 1: if it's the water, I don't know if it's the roads.
8:24
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the fancy cars now that
8:27
Speaker 1: these guys are getting paid. But like I said, I
8:32
Speaker 1: think maybe driver's education would be good for the entire
8:40
Speaker 1: Georgia football team. I'm not saying there aren't other programs
8:47
Speaker 1: whose players have gotten tickets speeding tickets, but it seems
8:53
Speaker 1: to happen more frequently in Athens for some reason. Not
9:01
Speaker 1: sure what that's all about. I do want to say
9:05
Speaker 1: that tomorrow I'll be visiting with Kurt Bowles. Ryan will
9:08
Speaker 1: be here next week. A week from today, we will
9:14
Speaker 1: be at the Brass County Expo Center Live with the
9:19
Speaker 1: Taste of Aggie Lead one of our favorite events of
9:23
Speaker 1: the year. Why because I get free food, They bring
9:28
Speaker 1: me free food, and you get to listen to me
9:31
Speaker 1: eat on the radio. I mean, what could be better?
9:34
Speaker 1: Than that, it's an award winner every year. Next week
9:38
Speaker 1: a week from today at the Brass County Expo Center.
9:44
Speaker 1: Also next week either Monday or Tuesday. Still working it out,
9:49
Speaker 1: Dan and Laura Dotson will join me. They are the
9:53
Speaker 1: auctioneers for A and E's Storage Wars. A and E
9:58
Speaker 1: will begin it's seventeenth season of Storage Wars next week
10:05
Speaker 1: and Dan and Laura Dotson are going to be here
10:08
Speaker 1: to tell us their story. Pay the lady. If you watch,
10:14
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. If you don't, you
10:17
Speaker 1: don't have a clue, but you'll listen anyway because you go, hey,
10:20
Speaker 1: that sounds interesting and it is okay.
10:24
Speaker 5: Oh.
10:25
Speaker 1: And they're playing the Genesis Open at Riviera Country Club
10:30
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. After three and a half inches of
10:32
Speaker 1: rain out there. Rory McElroy, Colin Moricata, kawa Akshay Batilla
10:39
Speaker 1: are all three under par playing the front nine. They
10:42
Speaker 1: got a late start because of the weather. Scottie Scheffler
10:45
Speaker 1: hasn't teed off yet, but it looks like the same
10:48
Speaker 1: leaderboard we saw last week at Pebble Beach. Quite frankly,
10:52

11:59
Speaker 9: Take this job and shovy, I ain't working a woman
12:06
Speaker 9: dun limb and took all the reasons I want it.
12:12
Speaker 1: Spoiler alert. I've already told you the US women won gold.
12:19
Speaker 1: I'm assuming they're gonna replace some of that game tonight.
12:22
Speaker 1: You need to watch it.
12:23
Speaker 3: It's amazing.
12:24
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you one more, one more spoiler alert.
12:29
Speaker 1: Jordan Stoltz, the speed skater that wins all the gold medals,
12:33
Speaker 1: he didn't win today. He finished second to a Chinaman
12:37
Speaker 1: fifteen meters competition. He had to settle for the silver.
12:43
Speaker 1: That sucks. We don't like silver, we like gold. We've
12:51
Speaker 1: got a high school report coming up. We are going
12:55
Speaker 1: to hear from Ole Miss coach Chris Beard. We're going
12:58
Speaker 1: to hear from Marcus Hill and Zach Clements coming up.
13:05
Speaker 1: Last night, Ried Arena, I gotta tell you, I thought
13:12
Speaker 1: for three quarters of that game it was a little
13:16
Speaker 1: more than half full. I mean, the crowd was decent,
13:18
Speaker 1: the corps was there, the students gave a little jump,
13:21
Speaker 1: little Jews to the building, but they didn't have a
13:23
Speaker 1: lot to cheer about for a lot of the game.
13:27
Speaker 1: I just I said to myself, you know, Saturday, I
13:30
Speaker 1: told you they were tired. They were, and Rashawn ag
13:33
Speaker 1: looks still looks tired. I gotta tell you, you know,
13:38
Speaker 1: he plays really hard. It looks like his legs are
13:44
Speaker 1: still not underneath him, frankly, And I'm saying that after
13:48
Speaker 1: he got seventeen and ten, right, But I said, man,
13:55
Speaker 1: I think this team may have lost its confidence now.
13:58
Speaker 1: When the ball's not going in the hole, you don't
14:01
Speaker 1: look like a very good basketball team. In the first half,
14:05
Speaker 1: they were eleven for thirty one. They were two of
14:09
Speaker 1: eleven from three pointer. They weren't tons better in the
14:14
Speaker 1: second half, but they were better. They didn't shoot nearly
14:17
Speaker 1: as many threes last night. They were three for nine
14:22
Speaker 1: in the second half. That's thirty three percent for the game.
14:26
Speaker 1: They did shoot forty eight percent. They went in a
14:29
Speaker 1: lot ole miss shot fifty two percent for the game.
14:35
Speaker 1: Malik Dia could be a pro. I'm not going to
14:39
Speaker 1: say he is a pro, but he could be. He's
14:42
Speaker 1: been very inconsistent, but apparently the NBA likes him because
14:48
Speaker 1: you can't coach size. You know, Ryland Griffin is still
14:56
Speaker 1: in a funk pop Isaac's has not been great the
15:02
Speaker 1: last few games. He only got less than sixteen minutes
15:08
Speaker 1: playing time. Last night, Ryland Griffin had six points. He
15:13
Speaker 1: was two for six from three, only took one other
15:16
Speaker 1: shot from there, had a couple of turnovers and ANM
15:23
Speaker 1: was minus two in the turnovers. But they were plus
15:28
Speaker 1: twelve offensive rebounding the basketball. They had eighteen second chance points.
15:35
Speaker 1: That was good. But listen to this stat this is
15:40
Speaker 1: bucky ball we're talking about. Ole Miss had twenty three
15:45
Speaker 1: fast breakpoints. Okay, twenty three fast breakpoints. How many fast
15:51
Speaker 1: breakpoints do you think? A and M had none?
15:55
Speaker 10: Not a zip.
15:58
Speaker 1: Zilch and only one more point in binge scoring than
16:05
Speaker 1: ole Miss. So it wasn't pretty. It didn't have to
16:09
Speaker 1: be pretty. You just had to find a way to win.
16:13
Speaker 1: I mean that was And we're gonna hear from Bucket
16:16
Speaker 1: here in just a minute, and he finally owned up
16:20
Speaker 1: to it.
16:20
Speaker 3: It's like.
16:22
Speaker 1: I didn't want to say it, but this was a
16:24
Speaker 1: must win game. I'm going yeah, it was.
16:28
Speaker 3: Yeah.
16:28
Speaker 1: If you want to go to the tournament after the
16:31
Speaker 1: season's must win game. But like we said all week,
16:34
Speaker 1: if we would have been thinking that this far into
16:38
Speaker 1: the season, that thirteen games in the conference play, that
16:43
Speaker 1: we would be talking about A and M going to
16:45
Speaker 1: the tournament, we would have said, sign you know, sign
16:50
Speaker 1: me up, absolutely, sign me up. Now every game here
16:56
Speaker 1: on is a big game that includes at Oklahoma. You
17:02
Speaker 1: got to win these quad three games, right, they're going
17:08
Speaker 1: to go to Arkansas. Arkansas is injured right now. Last night,
17:13
Speaker 1: by the way, let me just say that that Arkansas
17:18
Speaker 1: Alabama game, it was a lot like the Alabama A
17:22
Speaker 1: and M game, only more so over two overtimes. Darius Acoff,
17:28
Speaker 1: who is just he's unreal. He had forty nine last night,
17:35
Speaker 1: forty nine but twice missed in regulation and in second
17:40
Speaker 1: overtime potential game winning shots. What a game that was
17:45
Speaker 1: to watch? All right, let's hear from Bucky postgames.
17:49
Speaker 11: Away and I feel like they say, tournament just started,
17:52
Speaker 11: you know, But anyway about the game, incredible win. I
17:56
Speaker 11: know we could say whatever, hey, we could have shot
17:58
Speaker 11: it better, finished better, all that, but our fight was there.
18:03
Speaker 11: I told our players that was more than anything about
18:06
Speaker 11: who they are as people.
18:07
Speaker 3: Because we were down by ten. You're kind of looking up.
18:09
Speaker 11: There are enough possessions in this game to uh, to
18:13
Speaker 11: to win this thing, and our guys really, you know,
18:18
Speaker 11: a lot of times in that spot you'll see some
18:19
Speaker 11: some some players afraid to stick their neck out because
18:22
Speaker 11: they head may get chopped off, right, because they don't
18:25
Speaker 11: want to be the guy to cost yourself the game.
18:27
Speaker 11: And I think our guys all knew the implications of
18:29
Speaker 11: that game, you know, I think they all knew that
18:32
Speaker 11: we needed to we needed to win that game or
18:35
Speaker 11: put put ourselves in a tough situation. And you saw
18:39
Speaker 11: some guys out there playing to win the game. You
18:40
Speaker 11: didn't see anybody playing not to lose the game. And
18:43
Speaker 11: that's what it took. I thought Old Miss played great,
18:46
Speaker 11: really really good. Obviously did was amazing, and a store
18:49
Speaker 11: was great. They made some made some tough shots in
18:52
Speaker 11: the game, and uh, obviously we didn't shoot our high
18:55
Speaker 11: percentage from three, but kept hanging around on the game,
18:58
Speaker 11: and I think, uh, I think it will remember this
19:01
Speaker 11: game is one of the key wins in our season.
19:06
Speaker 12: How I'm trying to think of the right description, which
19:09
Speaker 12: is just how appropriate was it that that last nine
19:13
Speaker 12: over run.
19:14
Speaker 11: To win got started with Ruben finally hit, you know,
19:17
Speaker 11: hitting at three.
19:18
Speaker 4: He's been struggling. And then you know, you guys like
19:20
Speaker 4: Clements and and uh Rashaan has.
19:23
Speaker 3: Done it for you all year.
19:25
Speaker 11: Yeah yeah, I mean you know I mentioned this, and
19:28
Speaker 11: this is one thing we all got to remember because
19:30
Speaker 11: people to ask about Ruben you head and shot it. Well,
19:33
Speaker 11: you gotta remember against A season is a long season.
19:36
Speaker 3: It's a long season.
19:38
Speaker 11: And if I told y'all that Ruben, we have a
19:42
Speaker 11: guy on our team that's gonna shoot forty one and
19:44
Speaker 11: a half percent, three would be one of the top
19:45
Speaker 11: three point shooters in the country.
19:47
Speaker 3: What we say.
19:48
Speaker 11: We wouldn't say, well, he missed some of the last
19:50
Speaker 11: couple of games. What if we said, before SEC play
19:53
Speaker 11: we'd have nine wins with we got your five games
19:56
Speaker 11: to play.
19:58
Speaker 3: What would we say. We'd say, oh, really, you know
20:02
Speaker 3: we got five games to play?
20:03
Speaker 4: That right?
20:05
Speaker 3: Eight was five? Sorry, eight went with five to play.
20:08
Speaker 3: This guy, I always got to do that to me
20:10
Speaker 3: to play. Sorry, But what would we say.
20:12
Speaker 11: We'd say, we got a great opportunity in front of us,
20:14
Speaker 11: you know what I'm saying. And so all those guys
20:17
Speaker 11: who the course of the season have played a played
20:19
Speaker 11: great basketball, Sean and Ruben, and we're gonna ride with them.
20:22
Speaker 13: What did you see from your defense there down the
20:24
Speaker 13: stretch where you guys were finally able to string some
20:27
Speaker 13: stops together.
20:28
Speaker 11: Well, you know, it's interesting because with about fourteen thirteen minutes, like, guys,
20:34
Speaker 11: everybody needs to calm down in here. When we came
20:36
Speaker 11: out the half, weren't we weren't supposed to be trapping
20:38
Speaker 11: spiffly picking up garden hard and we missed some shots
20:42
Speaker 11: and we had a couple just guys kind of go
20:44
Speaker 11: rogue a little bit and trap and give it a
20:45
Speaker 11: couple of points there.
20:46
Speaker 3: We weren't even supposed to be right there. We turned
20:48
Speaker 3: it back up and one of those were Seawan trapped
20:50
Speaker 3: in the corner.
20:51
Speaker 11: That was a call that was on me. But we
20:54
Speaker 11: we had to tell our guys, there's plenty of time
20:56
Speaker 11: left in this game. And I think that in some
20:58
Speaker 11: of these games we feel we tried to hit that
21:00
Speaker 11: home run play. We'll be down by six with four
21:04
Speaker 11: minutes left, and we feel we got to go steal
21:05
Speaker 11: it right there. And so we saw a lot more
21:08
Speaker 11: discipline on defense to say, hey man, listen, just place
21:11
Speaker 11: solid in these spots.
21:13
Speaker 3: Okay, we're going to deny them up there. We may
21:15
Speaker 3: get a turnover, and we did.
21:16
Speaker 11: We got a couple up there that were key turnovers,
21:17
Speaker 11: ten second calls, but we were solid getting stops. The
21:21
Speaker 11: game was won in that game though, Guys and Girls
21:24
Speaker 11: was offensive rebound and won the game. Our challenge for
21:27
Speaker 11: this game was keep the ball, but you can do
21:29
Speaker 11: out of the paint. We didn't do the best job
21:30
Speaker 11: of that, even though they made some. They made some
21:31
Speaker 11: tough ones. Tony really hard on that pressure because we
21:34
Speaker 11: thought it'd takes toll late hopefully on them, you know,
21:36
Speaker 11: them having to work. And then if you're not crashing
21:38
Speaker 11: the offense glus, you're coming out, you're coming out of game.
21:40
Speaker 11: And we had sixteen extra opportunities, which was a twelve
21:44
Speaker 11: more than they had.
21:45
Speaker 3: That was a huge deal in the game. We don't
21:46
Speaker 3: win it without that.
21:47
Speaker 4: No bigger offensive rebound.
21:49
Speaker 3: I guess that last one was Josh.
21:52
Speaker 11: Was a Josh you got yeah, Yeah, it was Josh
21:54
Speaker 11: was out. Yep, that's right, and that was good. Now
21:57
Speaker 11: we're in a real dilemma there because we had that
22:00
Speaker 11: this is.
22:00
Speaker 3: A wild pilot game unfolded.
22:03
Speaker 11: We were sitting there late and you say, all can
22:05
Speaker 11: see the coach's minded. You know, see I'm put you
22:07
Speaker 11: in my crazy mind here. So we're sitting there when
22:09
Speaker 11: we're getting these stops and we have time outs, but yeah,
22:13
Speaker 11: they have their small lineup on the floor for our offense,
22:15
Speaker 11: and we got Ruben and Zach out there. So we're
22:18
Speaker 11: sitting there, like, do we burn a time out to
22:20
Speaker 11: set something up or do we keep letting them play
22:22
Speaker 11: because we have a size advantage to go to Ruben
22:24
Speaker 11: and Zach and to 're Shawn and Zach right here,
22:27
Speaker 11: And so is that back and forth the possession before last,
22:30
Speaker 11: we decided not call it, throw it inside.
22:31
Speaker 3: They double.
22:32
Speaker 11: We got a good look from Ali, but it was
22:34
Speaker 11: a really tough decision there. You know, I'm not sure
22:36
Speaker 11: which ones are right when there's really really close one
22:39
Speaker 11: to end the game.
22:40
Speaker 3: We went zoned there late. We just said we're not
22:42
Speaker 3: gonna let Store beat us.
22:43
Speaker 11: We're not gonna let score at the realm now, because
22:45
Speaker 11: I'm sure I get asked this question at Auburn. We
22:47
Speaker 11: missed the free throw after we miss our first one
22:50
Speaker 11: right to we could have tied the game up to
22:53
Speaker 11: make it a.
22:54
Speaker 3: Three point game.
22:55
Speaker 11: We decided to miss the free throw down there in
22:56
Speaker 11: Auburn in that situation, why we had four first started
22:59
Speaker 11: or four players clearly fed with four thousand on them,
23:02
Speaker 11: they had all the momentum. We're gonna have to go
23:03
Speaker 11: win on the road in overtime. I thought the chances
23:06
Speaker 11: of all of them were very, very low. I didn't
23:08
Speaker 11: think there's ay way we're gonna lose that game and overtime.
23:10
Speaker 11: I think there's anyway we're gonna lose that game and
23:11
Speaker 11: over time. So we told Sean, make them if they
23:13
Speaker 11: make it through, beat them in overtime. So now that
23:16
Speaker 11: you ask, I'm just telling.
23:18
Speaker 14: On Tuesday, he talks a little bit of Now, just
23:20
Speaker 14: kind of getting at any point in this at this
23:23
Speaker 14: time this season, there'd be a lot of fatigue set
23:24
Speaker 14: in the way that they played. Did your team play
23:27
Speaker 14: defense the end? Is that encourage you that they can
23:30
Speaker 14: find that that extra gear when they need it.
23:32
Speaker 11: Look, look, I thought that we were we were really
23:34
Speaker 11: strong late. Now, both teams shot a very high percentage
23:37
Speaker 11: from the field in the second half. They shot fifty five,
23:39
Speaker 11: we shot sixty one. You know, but I swear I
23:41
Speaker 11: felt we looked fresh. I felt good if we were
23:43
Speaker 11: going to overtime, you know, I thought we're getting there
23:45
Speaker 11: at will obviously. You know, they had some some of
23:48
Speaker 11: their guys play a lot of minutes in that game.
23:51
Speaker 11: We were pretty rounded, where Sean looked tired out there
23:53
Speaker 11: at times. But we don't win that game unless we
23:56
Speaker 11: just give an incredible effort. You know, Vanderbilt was our
23:59
Speaker 11: worst effort game, and I'm gonna put it on me.
24:01
Speaker 11: I didn't do a good job getting the recovery right
24:03
Speaker 11: for them. I mean, they're coming to me in the
24:04
Speaker 11: first four minutes again, like I can't fill my legs.
24:06
Speaker 11: You know, I complained, just like coach, I need this up.
24:08
Speaker 11: And I've never seen Rasean like that. Rashaan was tired
24:10
Speaker 11: at some point to night. But we had we had fight,
24:13
Speaker 11: and we had energy to us, right, we had energy
24:16
Speaker 11: to us even when we're missing a lot of those
24:17
Speaker 11: shots around the realm.
24:18
Speaker 3: We kept kept fighting.
24:20
Speaker 14: You know, first half not a great shooting procession of three.
24:24
Speaker 14: Was it a concerted effort to kind of try to
24:26
Speaker 14: get it into the paint in the second half or
24:28
Speaker 14: was that just kind of was open because a lot
24:29
Speaker 14: of points for Lambs.
24:31
Speaker 11: Well, they were switching a lot, so we had to
24:32
Speaker 11: exploit that when they switched by going inside with it
24:35
Speaker 11: on their switches. Old mister, what they do they take
24:39
Speaker 11: away the rim. They're they're like us, They're not the
24:41
Speaker 11: tallest team. We know that, so they try to really
24:42
Speaker 11: take away the rim. Make you make threes usually. I'm
24:45
Speaker 11: happy with that. We didn't shoot it as well as
24:47
Speaker 11: we normally do tonight. We didn't finish as well as
24:49
Speaker 11: we do, but they do a good job taking away
24:52
Speaker 11: the taking away the rim. We had to exploit their
24:54
Speaker 11: switches by you can explore them two ways, which is
24:57
Speaker 11: clear out, give space at the top so the guards
24:59
Speaker 11: can create. And we had a couple of possessions like
25:01
Speaker 11: that or throw it to the mismatch down low and
25:04
Speaker 11: our guys took what was there, and I thought that's
25:06
Speaker 11: where Zach and ra Sean had some good buckets and
25:08
Speaker 11: we had some good offense rebounds because we were big
25:10
Speaker 11: on small on the rebound.
25:11
Speaker 15: You guys were down by as munch as thirteen and
25:14
Speaker 15: it seems like y'all couldn't get it to within six
25:17
Speaker 15: until like five or six minutes left for the longest time.
25:20
Speaker 15: Did you ever kind of lose confidence and what do
25:22
Speaker 15: you think maybe flips ultimately.
25:25
Speaker 4: Kind of in that stretch.
25:26
Speaker 11: We could not score coming out in some parts coming
25:28
Speaker 11: out the half of when we'd cut into it, Like
25:30
Speaker 11: we kind of cut into it and we miss a bunny,
25:31
Speaker 11: you know what I'm saying. And you get in this
25:34
Speaker 11: weird game where you're trying to figure out this score
25:38
Speaker 11: and what's called for on defense? How aggressive do we
25:40
Speaker 11: get on defense? Do we need to change the game
25:41
Speaker 11: on defense? How comfortable were they? We couldn't take them
25:44
Speaker 11: out of their comfort zone either way, Like if we
25:48
Speaker 11: pressed them, they were getting in some layups. If we
25:50
Speaker 11: didn't trap them, they just rock us down late in
25:52
Speaker 11: the clock, and they felt very comfortable throughout that deal.
25:54
Speaker 11: If we went zone, we'd lose a rotation. So I
25:57
Speaker 11: was just saying, guys, we are going to score enough point,
26:00
Speaker 11: but we got to find a way to get stops
26:01
Speaker 11: in this game and it can't be them racking us
26:04
Speaker 11: over and over. When we started to get some stops
26:06
Speaker 11: in that game, I knew we'd be able to score
26:09
Speaker 11: the ball because I thought that we had them in
26:10
Speaker 11: a good spot.
26:11
Speaker 3: I thought our guys were pretty fresh there.
26:12
Speaker 4: We score late. What do you see from Zach?
26:15
Speaker 8: I mean, this is the guy who you know didn't
26:17
Speaker 8: really play much of Kansas and now in critical possessions
26:20
Speaker 8: down stretcher going to him for key buckets and he's
26:23
Speaker 8: averaging over fourteen a game these last three games.
26:25
Speaker 4: Is this what you envisioned or more when you.
26:28
Speaker 16: Brought him in?
26:29
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean he's only going to keep improving. I
26:31
Speaker 11: think he fits how we play because he can shoot
26:33
Speaker 11: it and stretch the defense. Zach has just if y'all
26:38
Speaker 11: get the interview, like y'all get to talk to him.
26:40
Speaker 11: I mean he's just playing man like. He's not overthinking
26:43
Speaker 11: this one, you know what I'm saying. And so that's
26:45
Speaker 11: just how he how he is. Like I love Za
26:47
Speaker 11: Clemics one of the funny exac Clements' story Mitch Cole's wife.
26:51
Speaker 11: He has an incredible game, Like three or four games ago,
26:53
Speaker 11: Mitch Cole like said that would you for breakfast?
26:56
Speaker 3: Said Bacon didn't realize, like a rhetorical question. You know,
27:03
Speaker 3: that's what you love about him. And he's just floating along,
27:05
Speaker 3: you know. But he's powerful.
27:08
Speaker 11: He's confident right now and obviously he's playing good ball.
27:11
Speaker 11: He's plus twenty on the stat sheet and think about that.
27:14
Speaker 11: I mean we won by three. He plays twenty four minutes.
27:17
Speaker 11: He's plus twenty on the stat sheet. Josh Holloway was great.
27:20
Speaker 3: In the game. He had eighteen minutes in the game.
27:23
Speaker 3: Josh has been up and down.
27:24
Speaker 11: I mean I had a good talk with Josh yesterday
27:26
Speaker 11: and today, Like, dude, with us two minutes, three minutes.
27:29
Speaker 11: If you want to keep getting minutes, you got to
27:31
Speaker 11: do what the game is called for.
27:32
Speaker 3: He was one of the most dominant players in the game.
27:34
Speaker 11: He played eighteen minutes and it was a ten point advantage,
27:37
Speaker 11: huge ten second call out there, like massive game changing
27:40
Speaker 11: ten second call and really ran the show really well.
27:45
Speaker 4: What does what does a win like this just do
27:47
Speaker 4: for overall morale?
27:48
Speaker 13: Psyche as you guys hit this home stretch of regular season.
27:52
Speaker 11: Look, I think we can look back at that win
27:54
Speaker 11: as a season defining moment.
27:57
Speaker 3: I really believe that, Like that's why you watch sports.
28:01
Speaker 11: I was more proud of that when if we came
28:02
Speaker 11: out there and we mad eight threes in that game
28:04
Speaker 11: and you know, we end up winning that by more points,
28:07
Speaker 11: ended up winning that by fifteen, I really was.
28:10
Speaker 3: I'm more proud of that. That was a season defining moment.
28:12
Speaker 11: Of people watch sports. Why do people watch sports, And
28:15
Speaker 11: why are people up there watching sports. I may not
28:16
Speaker 11: even know the rules of basketball, because sports is like
28:21
Speaker 11: it's a simulation of how life is like when you
28:23
Speaker 11: think you're down and out, things aren't going your way.
28:25
Speaker 11: Who's gonna purse or who's going to keep fighting? What
28:28
Speaker 11: kind of human emotions can stay the course? And you
28:31
Speaker 11: know you've seen our team earlier in the year we
28:33
Speaker 11: didn't have that. They stayed with it in a massive moment.
28:36
Speaker 11: People were gonna say, well, oh, mister, have a great grecd.
28:38
Speaker 11: I don't care, I don't mean nothing to me. Those
28:39
Speaker 11: guys played great tonight and they've been in every single
28:42
Speaker 11: game right right there to beat teams.
28:44
Speaker 3: So they won that Georgia.
28:46
Speaker 11: I promise you that team was the Sweet sixteen team
28:48
Speaker 11: last year with players that were on that team. Like
28:51
Speaker 11: when a team plays well in your league, just like
28:53
Speaker 11: you know Oklahoma going in there being a tough Vanderbilt team,
28:57
Speaker 11: you know you'll look up and LSU's right there at
28:59
Speaker 11: Texas could won the game last night.
29:01
Speaker 3: When teams played well in your league, in the SEC
29:03
Speaker 3: with pros in it, true, you're in for a night.
29:07
Speaker 11: So that that was a great, great win and the
29:09
Speaker 11: season to find a moment for our group because it
29:12
Speaker 11: was a hate to say it, so someone said it.
29:15
Speaker 11: I never told our guys is, but I'm gonna tell
29:17
Speaker 11: you the truth. That was a must win game. That
29:21
Speaker 11: was a must win game, you know, and our guys
29:23
Speaker 11: came through.
29:24
Speaker 4: How working was Marcus's proponents in the first half.
29:27
Speaker 13: He's shooting well, and maybe the team as a whole
29:29
Speaker 13: isn't well.
29:30
Speaker 3: You know, Marcus always gonna be ready to hoop. He
29:32
Speaker 3: loved the hoop. It was a couple of times he
29:33
Speaker 3: got drove in there and kicked it out, you know,
29:35
Speaker 3: but he's always ready to go. He looks fresh. You know,
29:41
Speaker 3: he's a competitor.
29:42
Speaker 11: You know, he's one of these guys that you can
29:44
Speaker 11: win or lose with because you know he's not going
29:46
Speaker 11: to know show you like, he's not gonna show up
29:48
Speaker 11: to the game and be like I didn't feel like
29:49
Speaker 11: playing today. And you know, at the end of the game.
29:52
Speaker 11: I've always said this most of the time, at the
29:55
Speaker 11: end of the game, you know, born a tactical situation
29:58
Speaker 11: like us going two three zone, you really want to
30:00
Speaker 11: get your best competitors in the game. It's not eve
30:02
Speaker 11: gonna have to do with like players sometimes like who
30:04
Speaker 11: are your best competitors? Like, look, ra, Sean could go
30:06
Speaker 11: for twenty one night, but then the game of Sean's
30:07
Speaker 11: gonna be the game because its a great competitor. Marcus
30:09
Speaker 11: is a great competitor. And that's that's the guys that
30:12
Speaker 11: you won the game.
30:13
Speaker 14: Coach, it seems like ole Miss has found a way
30:16
Speaker 14: to beat the full court press, and there's some adjustments
30:18
Speaker 14: that need to be fixed.
30:19
Speaker 3: Before I got to see the numbers.
30:21
Speaker 11: The numbers can be very deceiving on it sometimes, like
30:24
Speaker 11: I'd have to go look at it. You know, we're
30:26
Speaker 11: not worried about beating, Like I'm not concerned like do
30:30
Speaker 11: they beat the press, it's when they attack it. Do
30:32
Speaker 11: they turn turn it over when they attack it? Like
30:34
Speaker 11: for example, let me give you this example. All right,
30:37
Speaker 11: Let's say that they go they attack and shoot on conteste, layup.
30:39
Speaker 11: Then the next time they come down and they have
30:40
Speaker 11: a ten second call. Well, or the next time they
30:43
Speaker 11: come down there and they miss a shot on a
30:44
Speaker 11: two on one, it feels like you're getting killed. That's
30:46
Speaker 11: one point in possession, and it's like that's good, right,
30:49
Speaker 11: So I got to go look at the numbers. How
30:51
Speaker 11: it impacted the game, but teams and stuff. They're going
30:53
Speaker 11: to break the press at times. But it's just like,
30:57
Speaker 11: what's the cumulative total wear down effect of it?
30:59
Speaker 3: And then how does that help our offense?
31:02
Speaker 11: Are they worn down where they're cross match or they
31:04
Speaker 11: worn down where we can keep attacking.
31:06
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'll well look at the numbers that
31:07
Speaker 3: they may have kicked our butt tonight.
31:08
Speaker 11: I know halftime they did not when I looked at halftime,
31:12
Speaker 11: and or we may have been a positive.
31:14
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
31:15
Speaker 11: But I think that's probably one of the most misunderstood
31:18
Speaker 11: areas of basketball that.
31:20
Speaker 3: I'm not saying you.
31:21
Speaker 11: I'm just saying in general that people have a whole
31:23
Speaker 11: tough time evaluating unless you dive deep into the analytics.
31:26
Speaker 1: Hey, that was a relieved Bucky McMillan after the game
31:30

Speaker 22: Your Cougar's getting the season kicked off in full swing
35:26
Speaker 22: this weekend at the tournament that you host here locally
35:29
Speaker 22: in College Station. So what have your thoughts been from first,
35:33
Speaker 22: you know, a month of practice. Who are some of
35:35
Speaker 22: the newcomers that have showed up and stepped up for you?
35:39
Speaker 5: First? And foremost, I think, you know, we just got
35:42
Speaker 5: brand new surf facilities that our community passing a bond
35:47
Speaker 5: back over about a year ago, almost a year ago,
35:50
Speaker 5: and it's really changed a lot of things that we do.
35:54
Speaker 5: And I'll tell you what, man, these kids come out
35:56
Speaker 5: here every day and it's a party. They enjoy it,
35:59
Speaker 5: They have a there's always smiles on their faces. And
36:03
Speaker 5: the amount of work that we're getting done on these
36:04
Speaker 5: fields compared to what we were dealing with in the
36:07
Speaker 5: past is just astronomicaling through the roof. So kind of
36:10
Speaker 5: off of that, our players, our senior class, extremely talented.
36:17
Speaker 5: You know, we bring back some experience and spots that
36:20
Speaker 5: being our number one from last year, Ace and Jake
36:25
Speaker 5: bogging on the mount. We threw over fifty innings for
36:28
Speaker 5: us last year.
36:29
Speaker 4: Jake's just.
36:31
Speaker 5: He pitches with his hair on fire, hoops around everywhere,
36:35
Speaker 5: and gives everybody else on the field that sense of
36:40
Speaker 5: he's in control. We also bring back our number two
36:44
Speaker 5: in innings Guy and puts really well for us in
36:48
Speaker 5: spots last year. And Miles Simpson who's a younger underclassman. Miles,
36:53
Speaker 5: you know, he's just a sophomore and he's been up
36:57
Speaker 5: to you know, ninety ninety one and really commends two
37:02
Speaker 5: to three pitches in his own does a great job
37:05
Speaker 5: for us. So we got our one two punch coming back.
37:08
Speaker 5: That's big, you know. And our leader who was our
37:12
Speaker 5: leader on the football field in the fall as a
37:15
Speaker 5: quarterback and now gets the showcases talent out here at
37:19
Speaker 5: shortstop for us and Keaton Johnson. Keating is just an
37:24
Speaker 5: all around just great leader. He brings positivity and extreme
37:30
Speaker 5: excitement excitement to the game. He's always uplifting his teammates.
37:35
Speaker 5: He can, he can hold him accountable, but do it
37:38
Speaker 5: in a positive light because the guy's next to him
37:42
Speaker 5: know that there's nobody that's gonna outwork him, so they
37:45
Speaker 5: respect him and his his leadership abilities have gone through
37:50
Speaker 5: the roof. And you know, he he was kind of
37:54
Speaker 5: under the wing of Kate Corkoran for the past couple
37:57
Speaker 5: of years on the baseball field as well as on
37:59
Speaker 5: the football field. So he got to he got to
38:01
Speaker 5: sit and learn and wait his turn. And so his
38:03
Speaker 5: turn down, he's taking full advantage of it and grabbing
38:06
Speaker 5: the steering wheel on this bus and he's steering it.
38:09
Speaker 5: You know, we bring back our first baseman Zeke Bullard.
38:12
Speaker 5: You know, Zeke's a big bopper from the left handed side.
38:15
Speaker 5: He's he's signed to go play at ut s A.
38:19
Speaker 5: You know, he's he's very talented and he hits it.
38:23
Speaker 5: He hits it really hard. And I think that one
38:26
Speaker 5: of the most proudest things I am Zeke is you know,
38:29
Speaker 5: he's really come out of his shell this year and
38:32
Speaker 5: it's just having a blast playing the game and keeping
38:35
Speaker 5: the guys loose around him. You know, some some of
38:38
Speaker 5: my other senior leadership that you're gonna see out on
38:40
Speaker 5: the field. We got Blaze Singer out in center field.
38:42
Speaker 5: Blaze didn't get to play with us last year due
38:45
Speaker 5: to a hand injury, but he's fully healed out and
38:48
Speaker 5: enjoying what he loves to do. He brings a lot
38:51
Speaker 5: of athleticism to to our lineup right now. At third base,
38:56
Speaker 5: Jacob Navarro has really shown out, you know, early on
39:00
Speaker 5: with just this his mentality. You know, if I'm if
39:02
Speaker 5: I'm in a fight, I want that guy on my side.
39:04
Speaker 5: Another big bat from a senior and Brett bash him,
39:08
Speaker 5: you know, he's he's just he just hammers balls. You know,
39:11
Speaker 5: I don't know, you know Brett, but his dad Lance.
39:15
Speaker 5: He kind of is the GM out there at the lab.
39:17
Speaker 5: So Brett's grown up with the bat in his hand
39:20
Speaker 5: on a daily basis, and his skill, his back to
39:23
Speaker 5: ball skills, plus his pop and his power and just
39:26
Speaker 5: knowledge of the game is superior. So excited to see
39:30
Speaker 5: you know that, senior have fun. We got some underclassmen
39:33
Speaker 5: in spots right now. You know, we've we've got basically
39:37
Speaker 5: we've got four really good or five really good infielders
39:41
Speaker 5: playing for three spots. Moving on into the outfield, we
39:45
Speaker 5: got Lennon Hawkinson, who's super talented, left handed stick you know,
39:51
Speaker 5: can play anywhere in the outfield, and uh, he's been
39:55
Speaker 5: playing a lot of left field, making great plays out
39:57
Speaker 5: there for us early on. I got a whole lieu
40:00
Speaker 5: of right fielders and they're they're gonna there's gonna be
40:04
Speaker 5: some battles out there.
40:05
Speaker 3: Uh.
40:06
Speaker 5: One senior I haven't mentioned with Tyler Manfield, probably the best,
40:10
Speaker 5: the most athletic kid I've ever coached. He's definitely the fastest.
40:15
Speaker 5: So you know, if Tyler gets on a basis, I'll
40:18
Speaker 5: give you a scouting port right now, he's probably going
40:19
Speaker 5: and you're probably not gonna throw him out he's electric
40:22
Speaker 5: on the mound. He was up to we had him
40:24
Speaker 5: up to ninety two five. Uh in the fall. You know,
40:27
Speaker 5: our our outfields just loaded, like we got three spots.
40:31
Speaker 5: And those dudes are they're gonna compete. They're gonna it's
40:34
Speaker 5: a lot of healthy competition. They do it on a
40:35
Speaker 5: daily basis and they love each other. Did mention you
40:38
Speaker 5: know the freshman catcher, you know him and bred are
40:41
Speaker 5: are gonna compete through tournament season, you know for that uh,
40:44
Speaker 5: for that catcher's role. But you know Landon Atkinson, he's uh,
40:48
Speaker 5: he's really stepped up and showed some some really good
40:52
Speaker 5: energy behind the plate with with very very obviously a
40:56
Speaker 5: lot of talent if he's up on the varsity as
40:58
Speaker 5: a freshman as a catcher. To see him grow, excited
41:01
Speaker 5: to see his season as well.
41:02
Speaker 22: And this weekend with the tournament here in College Station,
41:07
Speaker 22: y'all get started at nine am Friday morning. So what
41:10
Speaker 22: are your thoughts heading into this tournament.
41:11
Speaker 5: We used to run this tournament like back whenever we
41:14
Speaker 5: first open, and you used to be a pretty big
41:16
Speaker 5: tournament between us, Brian and Rudder in Knsault. You know,
41:22
Speaker 5: obviously our field conditions got worse over time, and the
41:25
Speaker 5: other people got turf around us, that tournament dwindled on us,
41:29
Speaker 5: and so we ended up getting rid of it. I
41:30
Speaker 5: think four years ago. As soon as we found out
41:33
Speaker 5: we were getting turf, I'm going to have it this year.
41:35
Speaker 5: You know, me and coach Leonerton got together and we
41:38
Speaker 5: got on the horn and we started calling all the
41:40
Speaker 5: schools around the state that we wanted to come to
41:43
Speaker 5: this tournament, and man, we piled them up. There's there's
41:47
Speaker 5: gonna be some high caliber games this weekend. You know,
41:50
Speaker 5: we got two pools. The pools are split up between
41:54
Speaker 5: US and Kasaul's Field on Thursday and Friday, and then
41:56
Speaker 5: we're gonna seed it out and play a one game
41:59
Speaker 5: seated on Saturday for everybody, play for a little something,
42:03
Speaker 5: put something on the line. You know, we're looking forward
42:05
Speaker 5: to to watch some really good baseball early on.
42:08
Speaker 22: Well, it sounds like it's gonna be a great way
42:10
Speaker 22: to get the years started for you all. Last thing
42:13
Speaker 22: for you here after last season unfortunately getting knocked out
42:17
Speaker 22: in the first round of the playoffs, what are your
42:20
Speaker 22: goals for this year?
42:21
Speaker 5: You know last year that team's goal was to get
42:24
Speaker 5: back in the playoffs. We missed the playoffs the previous
42:28
Speaker 5: two seasons before that, you know, the season two years ago,
42:34
Speaker 5: we ended up going into the last week of district play.
42:36
Speaker 5: If we win two games for the district camps. If
42:39
Speaker 5: we lose two games, we're tied tied for fourth and
42:42
Speaker 5: having a playing game. And we lost both games, played
42:45
Speaker 5: Maguest and got beat out in the playing game, and
42:47
Speaker 5: then all four of those teams met up in the
42:49
Speaker 5: third round, and then the three and four seed met
42:53
Speaker 5: up in the regional finals. You know, so they that
42:58
Speaker 5: was a tough pill to swallow. And then you know,
43:02
Speaker 5: all those kids being juniors because we had a big
43:04
Speaker 5: senior class last year. Man, they stuck it out, hung
43:07
Speaker 5: together and and found a way and fought and got
43:10
Speaker 5: in and at the end of it, you know, we
43:12
Speaker 5: got beat in the first round. You know, Crosby just
43:15
Speaker 5: got hot and things went their way and they didn't
43:18
Speaker 5: go our way. And that's the game sometimes. But those
43:20
Speaker 5: kids were truly amazing and kind of led into this
43:25
Speaker 5: year's mindset of you know, our guys are, hey, coach,
43:29
Speaker 5: you know, we don't want to just make the playoffs,
43:31
Speaker 5: like we want to make a run, just like you know,
43:33
Speaker 5: anything else. We talk like anything that we're doing, it's
43:37
Speaker 5: just one play at a time, you know, and it's
43:40
Speaker 5: one rep out of time. So when we're at practice
43:43
Speaker 5: and we're getting after it like it's it's full go
43:48
Speaker 5: just one rep out of time and just continue to
43:50
Speaker 5: take that mentality and don't take plays off because there's
43:55
Speaker 5: a there's probably two hundred and forty plays in the game,
43:59
Speaker 5: and of those two hundred and forty plays, whoever wins,
44:02
Speaker 5: the majority of them got a pretty good chance of
44:04
Speaker 5: winning that game. So I think that's just kind of
44:07
Speaker 5: the mentality that this group has is you know, they're
44:10
Speaker 5: gonna be tough because they're gonna play in a moment,
44:14
Speaker 5: and they're also they're also going to be very knowledgeable
44:17
Speaker 5: because they're very diligent and they work really hard to
44:21
Speaker 5: be good at the little things in the game. You know.
44:23
Speaker 5: I think that with that head of steam, there's no
44:26
Speaker 5: doubt about it. There's gonna be bumps. We know that
44:28
Speaker 5: they know that that's part of competition. But I think
44:31
Speaker 5: just the mentality of taking it one play at a time,
44:34
Speaker 5: and you know, with with the expectations of making a run,
44:38
Speaker 5: we'll see what happens.
44:39
Speaker 3: All right.
44:39
Speaker 22: Coach, Well, I appreciate your time today and good luck
44:42
Speaker 22: this season.
44:42
Speaker 5: All right, Caleb, I appreciate you calling man.

48:37
Speaker 1: got women's basketball at five point fifteen, so an abbreviated
48:40
Speaker 1: Clark Eisenhower Outdoor edition coming up at five. But it
48:45
Speaker 1: is packed with some goodies, so be sure and stay
48:47
Speaker 1: tuned for that. I heard last night on the on
48:52
Speaker 1: the broadcast of the basketball game when I was watching it,
48:57
Speaker 1: Chris Beard had never had a losing season. I guess
49:02
Speaker 1: he still has a chance to get to five hundred.
49:05
Speaker 1: I think they are four games under right now. He
49:09
Speaker 1: almost added another one last night, thirteen point lead halfway
49:15
Speaker 1: through the second half, couldn't hold it. Here is Chris
49:20
Speaker 1: Beard with the media after the game.
49:23
Speaker 16: Congratulate Texas A and M on a much needed home win.
49:28
Speaker 16: Obviously what they're playing for right now in my opinion,
49:32
Speaker 16: kind of a must win. Just my opinion. We felt
49:35
Speaker 16: the same way. Must win for us as is every
49:38
Speaker 16: game the rest of the season. Really good response by
49:42
Speaker 16: our team. Last time we played we did not have
49:45
Speaker 16: a good effort, just didn't play well. In tonight, I
49:48
Speaker 16: thought in a lot of ways we outplayed the opponent,
49:51
Speaker 16: probably deserving of winning the game. Last shot goes in,
49:55
Speaker 16: you know, completely different mood in both locker rooms, but
49:59
Speaker 16: that's basketball. Well. I thought the difference in the game
50:02
Speaker 16: was Texas A and M's offensive rebounds, their ability to
50:07
Speaker 16: manufacture extra possessions and get some A zone shots off
50:11
Speaker 16: of boards, and so that was really kind of difference
50:14
Speaker 16: in the game. But proud of our team, our players.
50:18
Speaker 16: I thought we really responded from our last game out
50:21
Speaker 16: and played one of our better games of the year.
50:24
Speaker 16: And again congratulate Texas A and M on a game
50:26
Speaker 16: I know they had to win.
50:28
Speaker 11: Shot really well in most of the second halfter at
50:30
Speaker 11: the end though thick up as four or three points.
50:32
Speaker 3: We all get any shots I wanted or do you
50:34
Speaker 3: think you guys maybe more so.
50:37
Speaker 16: Yeah, for the most part, I know Travis got a
50:39
Speaker 16: good wide open look, had the courage to take that
50:41
Speaker 16: shot that would have been a big one.
50:44
Speaker 3: You know, I agree.
50:44
Speaker 16: I think our three point shot to night for the
50:47
Speaker 16: most part was really good shot selection, just fortune didn't
50:50
Speaker 16: go our way. Shoot a little bit better percentage, and
50:53
Speaker 16: you know it's a different press conference right now. Last
50:56
Speaker 16: play of the game, you know it's an open look
51:00
Speaker 16: to win the game. I thought the guys did a
51:04
Speaker 16: decent job executing the last play. It's bought didn't go
51:07
Speaker 16: in force.
51:08
Speaker 13: Could you tell what happened to the league down the
51:10
Speaker 13: stretch and just how much of a how much did
51:12
Speaker 13: y'all miss his presence in those last.
51:13
Speaker 4: Couple of minutes.
51:15
Speaker 3: I don't know what happened to Malik.
51:17
Speaker 16: I saw him laying on the floor and then a
51:20
Speaker 16: few minutes later he was ready to go back in
51:22
Speaker 16: the game.
51:24
Speaker 3: That's a big play too.
51:26
Speaker 16: You know, it's basically a five on four break, and
51:29
Speaker 16: if I'm not mistaken, they hit a three point shot.
51:34
Speaker 16: I think the officials called it correctly. It's my understanding
51:36
Speaker 16: that if a guy's head hits the floor, they can
51:39
Speaker 16: stop even a fast break. If it's not head on
51:43
Speaker 16: the floor, then they gotta let it play and credit
51:46
Speaker 16: Texas A and M. If they pull it out there
51:48
Speaker 16: and they look for a set player or something, the
51:50
Speaker 16: reps can stop it. But as long as they attack,
51:53
Speaker 16: so really smart players or maybe just a really well
51:57
Speaker 16: coached team. That was a smart play by them to
52:00
Speaker 16: take advantage of the five and four break when we
52:02
Speaker 16: had some misfortune of da laying on the floor.
52:07
Speaker 14: The first half, they didn't shoot, but they normally shoot,
52:10
Speaker 14: especially from distance, did a lot of layups and the
52:12
Speaker 14: points of the ring in the second half. Did you
52:13
Speaker 14: feel like they were going to shift and try to
52:15
Speaker 14: work more of the inside game in the.
52:17
Speaker 16: Second half, Yeah, we knew it was coming.
52:19
Speaker 3: Bucky does good job.
52:20
Speaker 16: Well coached team exploited our switch a little bit with mismatches.
52:25
Speaker 16: From our point of view, we had some fouls to
52:27
Speaker 16: give throughout the second half that we didn't execute the
52:30
Speaker 16: game plan. But credit them. Thought they did a good
52:33
Speaker 16: job exploiting some mismatches. And again the difference in the
52:36
Speaker 16: game is offensive rebounding for them. And so you know,
52:41
Speaker 16: the reason we're not in a little bit better mood
52:43
Speaker 16: right now is we're one.
52:44
Speaker 3: Or two blockouts away. But credit them.
52:46
Speaker 16: The reason why I'm sure they have a pleasant locker
52:49
Speaker 16: room right now is their players manufactured some azone shots
52:53
Speaker 16: and some extra possessions by offensive rebounding the ball.
52:56
Speaker 1: All Right, that's the ole miss coach, and we're gonna
53:02
Speaker 1: hear from Marcus Hill and Zach Clements. They each had
53:08
Speaker 1: fourteen last night. Rashaun ag seventeen and ten, and Ruben
53:17
Speaker 1: Domingus showed up. I said, I thought if he hit
53:21
Speaker 1: two three pointers, A and M would win. He hit
53:25
Speaker 1: two three pointers, ended up with thirteen points. Also had
53:31
Speaker 1: four rebounds and five assists. So it was good to
53:37
Speaker 1: see him back. Big deal having him back. Marcus Hill's
53:46
Speaker 1: been really good. He had zero turnovers to go with
53:53
Speaker 1: his fourteen points last night, and he is amazing in
53:57
Speaker 1: the paint among all the big guys. Clements has been
54:01
Speaker 1: playing well offensively. He had fourteen points, had four boards,
54:07
Speaker 1: a couple of steals. Still needs to be stronger, missed
54:12
Speaker 1: a lot around the basket. Then the Aggies had a
54:16
Speaker 1: hard time finishing around the basket last night. They have
54:21
Speaker 1: got to do better there. Here is Marcus Hill and
54:27
Speaker 1: Zach Clements.
54:28
Speaker 13: Afterward, Zach, what are you most proud of your team
54:32
Speaker 13: being able to have some resilience to come back and
54:35
Speaker 13: win that game?
54:36
Speaker 4: Grinding?
54:37
Speaker 23: No, I think we led how many times twice in
54:39
Speaker 23: that game or something like that. We wasn't too many
54:41
Speaker 23: times a week down the whole game, we fought back,
54:44
Speaker 23: showed that we had heart. I mean, it's that's all
54:46
Speaker 23: you can ask for.
54:47
Speaker 1: Marcus from your point of view, what does the win
54:49
Speaker 1: link that do for your team?
54:50
Speaker 4: And kind of echoed the same sentiment as it felt
54:54
Speaker 4: so good.
54:54
Speaker 24: You know, he was down mostly the whole game, and
54:57
Speaker 24: we just kept talking to each other. I feel like
55:00
Speaker 24: us us talking to each other really was helping.
55:02
Speaker 3: So I really liked it.
55:03
Speaker 14: Yeah, that was the second half a lot of points
55:06
Speaker 14: off of layups? How much at a half time? Was
55:08
Speaker 14: there a concerted shift maybe we would ball from the
55:10
Speaker 14: outside to the end inside.
55:13
Speaker 4: I mean we just you know, it was just look
55:15
Speaker 4: through the paint.
55:16
Speaker 23: I mean, that's that's the main main goal first, and
55:19
Speaker 23: then if we can get kickouts, we can.
55:20
Speaker 4: It just is what it is.
55:22
Speaker 23: But we started getting some layups down down there late,
55:25
Speaker 23: so we just went with it.
55:27
Speaker 15: Zach, when do were down thirteen and it seems like
55:30
Speaker 15: for a while YA couldn't get it back then like
55:31
Speaker 15: two schools. What was kind of going through your mind
55:34
Speaker 15: at that time and what do you think ultimately flipped
55:37
Speaker 15: it when you all were finally kind of able.
55:38
Speaker 6: To break through.
55:40
Speaker 23: I think as a squad. I think we knew we
55:41
Speaker 23: were gonna win this game. I just it was tough. Obviously,
55:44
Speaker 23: I was probably nervous. They're all probably nervous too, But
55:47
Speaker 23: I thought we had it. I think it was just
55:49
Speaker 23: confidence from this week in practice and doing what we do.
55:53
Speaker 4: So I think, I mean it was good.
55:55
Speaker 15: Sure, Sorry, that's just the final like four minutes.
55:58
Speaker 4: They went scoreless in the last three thirty two.
56:01
Speaker 15: What defensively do you think you guys were able to
56:03
Speaker 15: accomplish to.
56:04
Speaker 23: Keep on We just locked in. It's just it's just
56:07
Speaker 23: one of those things you got to do. I mean,
56:09
Speaker 23: no rebounds, like we tried to get everything. It was
56:11
Speaker 23: just one of the things we wanted it more, that's all.
56:13
Speaker 4: Zach Coach Baverard just said, you know, this was a
56:15
Speaker 4: must win games for you guys. Do you guys think
56:17
Speaker 4: that as well? I mean yeah, I mean I think
56:20
Speaker 4: every game is.
56:21
Speaker 23: I don't know who'd want to, you know, lose, but
56:24
Speaker 23: uh yeah, no, I mean yeah, we're going into every
56:27
Speaker 23: game trying to win.
56:27
Speaker 13: So for the struggles that Rubns had lately, just how
56:31
Speaker 13: good was it for you guys to see him come
56:34
Speaker 13: up with some big buckets down stretch and maybe how
56:36
Speaker 13: much did those three pointers do for you guys.
56:38
Speaker 4: In that run.
56:41
Speaker 24: I feel like it helped a lot, especially you know
56:43
Speaker 24: with Zach and Sean and Paint they had to guard
56:46
Speaker 24: him so and I'm happy for him. You know, he
56:48
Speaker 24: been to gym a lot, so like I'm happy for
56:50
Speaker 24: it to see the go through the fun.
56:52
Speaker 1: Twelve two run in the final four minutes, nine in
56:55
Speaker 1: the final two and some change.
56:57
Speaker 4: What allowed you guys to be successful at the end
56:58
Speaker 4: of the game yet, I think just grinding it out,
57:01
Speaker 4: locking in. We've been talking about that all week. We
57:04
Speaker 4: get in these games. You know, we got some some
57:07
Speaker 4: errors here and there, but we made a decision this
57:09
Speaker 4: game to really lock in.
57:10
Speaker 14: It's like, you're plus twenty in this game. Do you
57:12
Speaker 14: feel like, does stats say this was your best defensive game?
57:16
Speaker 5: I mean.
57:17
Speaker 23: I looked at it. That's pretty good, but I mean, yeah,
57:20
Speaker 23: I always could do better. I think it's just a
57:23
Speaker 23: stepping stone. Yeah, for sure, get better. What kind of
57:28
Speaker 23: happened when you drew that foul?
57:29
Speaker 4: And just how's the knee doing? I was doing all right,
57:32
Speaker 4: it'll be fine. A little banged that too?
57:35
Speaker 15: Crazy, Marcus, how you feeling I saw early in the half.
57:38
Speaker 4: It seemed like you got to shake up a little bit,
57:40
Speaker 4: but kept going through. I got to do it now.
57:43
Speaker 24: Oh yeah, he jumped on my ankle. It was hurting,
57:46
Speaker 24: But once I started playing like went away, I generally
57:48
Speaker 24: kicked in.
57:50
Speaker 17: One of the things Coach Beard said was he thought
57:54
Speaker 17: Adam the offensive rebound for a huge part of that
57:56
Speaker 17: kind of what do you'll think about your performance on
57:59
Speaker 17: it last tonight?
58:00
Speaker 4: You're just like, like, go back to it.
58:01
Speaker 23: I just want to do We're just gonna lock in
58:02
Speaker 23: this game. We needed it and we just wanted it more.
58:06
Speaker 23: That's all it came down to. We wanted to ball
58:08
Speaker 23: more than they did. So, I mean, you can say whatever,
58:10
Speaker 23: but that's just what it was.
