  Back with GINO live till the top of the hour. Tomorrow, the women
• 0:04
  will take on eighteenth rank Louisville at ten and one, coach by Jeff Walls.
• 0:09
  Dev Fist joins me for the broadcast eleven thirty tomorrow morning with a tip
• 0:13
  at twelve oh five. That's a Fox National TV game, but we prefer
• 0:17
  you be in the stands and you can listen to us on the Yukon Sports
• 0:20
  Network as well. Speaking of Louisville, GINO, Jeff's done a nice job
• 0:25
  retooling his team. He loses a few, particularly Haley van lifts of the
• 0:28
  transfer portal, but he brings in a couple including a young lady from JMU
• 0:32
  and Kiki Jefferson who's off to a fantastic start with his team. And the
• 0:37
  two things that stand out they force turnovers, they rebound well once again,
• 0:41
  another opponent that you got a tough matchup against. Yeah, they're a little
• 0:49
  bit different this year in that they they're used to having a real dominant go
• 1:02
  to offensive player. You know, whether that was Haleyvanly last year or you
• 1:06
  know it was Dina Evans or dr you know you Angel Angel. You know,
• 1:12
  they're used to having really a dominant offensive player. And this year it's
• 1:19
  more spread out. You know, they've done a better job of putting it
• 1:26
  together, not having that that one, that one dominant player. So instead
• 1:32
  of having somebody getting twenty, they've got you know, seven or eight kids
• 1:37
  all getting between eight, ten, twelve, you know, a game,
• 1:42
  which makes them a little bit more difficult to defend. You know when you
• 1:45
  like when there's one dominant player, because you know what what the object is.
• 1:49
  You know, you know what you've got to do. So that's one
• 1:53
  thing. The other is they they they try to steal it from you every
• 2:00
  chance they get. Okay, whether it's full court, three quarter, a
• 2:01
  coord have court, it doesn't matter. Everything they do is they're trying to
• 2:05
  steal the vote from me. And they shoot. They shoot forty five percent
• 2:14
  from the floor, not a lot of three is about five per game.
• 2:19
  Yeah, but when you look at their true shooting percentage, it's like thirty.
• 2:25
  So it gets to forty five because all their second shots that they put
• 2:29
  in they get to the free throw line, and they get to the free
• 2:30
  throw line a lot, which those two things go together. Yeah, the
• 2:34
  more offensive rebounds you get and you in a position to go back up with
• 2:38
  it. The more fouls you accumulate. So that's the you know, the
• 2:45
  game plan. They've almost taken one hundred more free throws in the opposition.
• 2:49
  Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, we still do that. We still do
• 2:52
  that. We used to do that. Right now, your mind is three
• 2:53
  in that department. Yeah well yeah, yeah, this is a lot of
• 3:00
  minuses right now. But KK has been getting the line a lot, a
• 3:05
  la a lot, page a lot lately. Over the last five pages taken
• 3:08
  twenty six, Elia has taken five. In the last twenty last three,
• 3:13
  Kk's been a line fifteen times. That's what you need. You know,
• 3:16
  you need easy baskets, you know, the South Carolina, the North Carolina,
• 3:23
  the third quarter. Those baskets were generated by by our defense. And
• 3:28
  you need to get to the free throw line because those are easy baskets.
• 3:30
  Okay, if you have to constantly bring the ball up the floor and the
• 3:36
  defense is waiting for you because they just scored, you know, and you
• 3:40
  didn't get you know, you're not rebounding and running transition, so they just
• 3:45
  scored. Now their defense is always set. That's a hard way. That's
• 3:50
  a hard way to win. You know, that's a hard way to win.
• 3:53
  That's that would be an equivalent of football right now, running the ball
• 3:58
  sixty times. They can't win like that. You know, you you've got
• 4:02
  to get easy transition baskets, you know, where you're you're attacking them before
• 4:09
  they get set defensively. You know, a lot of mistakes are made when
• 4:13
  people are running back on defense. Who's got that guy? I got that
• 4:15
  guy? No, I got that guy, No, I got that guy.
• 4:17
  And you're getting open shots while all that's going on. And when we
• 4:23
  create that scenario, we we do very we do really really well because that's
• 4:30
  where most of your wide open threes come from. In transition, is the
• 4:35
  ball movement on offense as good as you'd like to see it in the half
• 4:40
  court, there's that's a little work in progress. You know. There's what
• 4:48
  and slang, you know the besketball shoot the rock, right is now what
• 4:54
  they say? Shoot the rock? You know, I can really handle the
• 4:57
  rock, you know, and I got a yeah. It's and there's a
• 5:00
  sort of thing that the ball when it's moving a lot, it's light.
• 5:08
  The ball just it's almost like one touch passes in hockey, you know or
• 5:12
  soccer. You know, the ball's moving from here, to there, to
• 5:15
  that guy to that guy. Bang the ball's light well, right now it's
• 5:21
  a huge rock. That ball doesn't move as well as it's ever moved.
• 5:29
  It's it's this is probably the worst ball movement that we've had over the first
• 5:33
  nine games of any any team I've ever had. It's just, you know,
• 5:42
  we have we have too many players playing that have not played, so
• 5:46
  everything's too fast for them, and players are you know, when we put
• 5:55
  Page back in the lineup, that's screwed up our whole team. I mean,
• 5:58
  it sounds stupid, but it's screwed up our whole team because now you
• 6:00
  know, last year with Dorka and Lou, you know, we had two
• 6:04
  fifth year seniors, right and Nika had the ball all the time in her
• 6:11
  hands all the time. So now everybody's had to get used to Paige being
• 6:16
  in the lineup because obviously, for obvious reasons, Paige is going to have
• 6:20
  the ball in her hands a lot. So that doesn't just happen overnight where
• 6:26
  you just go, Okay, that's an easy transition. It's not. It's
• 6:30
  not. So it's taken some time. That's why sometimes it looks great and
• 6:34
  sometimes it looks god awful, but it'll you know, the more we play
• 6:40
  and the more we spend time on the court together, the better it'll be.
• 6:44
  Okay, all right, we'll update the injury bug for this team,
• 6:46
  and then we'll get the folks here involved with some Q and A with head
• 6:50
  coach Gino Riama here on the Yukon Women's Basketball Coaches Show on lear Field.
