Speaker 1: twenty two hundred longmyre just down from the post office
0:07
Speaker 1: in College Station.
0:10
Speaker 2: You know, every time we do one of the CNJ
0:12
Speaker 2: barbecue commercials, they tell us to come up with something clever,
0:14
Speaker 2: but honestly, I never know what to say.
0:17
Speaker 3: How about we're CNJ Barbecue. We make barbecue. It's good.
0:21
Speaker 3: People like it. That's why we've been here smoking meats
0:24
Speaker 3: and pill and bellies since the eighties.
0:26
Speaker 2: Well, I guess that sums it up. So if you're hungry,
0:28
Speaker 2: come see us.
0:29
Speaker 3: If you need more convincing, well maybe you just don't
0:32
Speaker 3: like happiness.
0:33
Speaker 2: Either way, we'll be here smoking meat like we always do,
0:35
Speaker 2: serving up happiness on a tray.
0:37
Speaker 3: CNJ Barbecue. Let's see.
0:52
Speaker 1: Welcome in, Thanks for being with us on this Tuesday afternoon.
0:56
Speaker 1: This portion of the program is brought to you by
1:00
Speaker 1: and We've got stuff coming up. We're gonna hear from
1:04
Speaker 1: Auburn basketball coach Stephen Pearl. They host the Aggies tonight.
1:09
Speaker 1: We've got our first high school report of twenty twenty six.
1:14
Speaker 1: We're gonna catch you up on some Dallas Stars hockey
1:17
Speaker 1: because it's been way too long. We're gonna hear from
1:20
Speaker 1: Miami football coach Mario Christobal as well before we're finished,
1:24
Speaker 1: and within the next fifteen or so minutes, we're gonna
1:28
Speaker 1: be giving away prizes to our Bowl edition Friday's Fearless Winner.
1:37
Speaker 1: So all of that coming up. So phone the neighbors,
1:42
Speaker 1: wake the kids. The Aggies are on the planes in Auburn.
1:50
Speaker 1: That's an eight o'clock start tonight on the SEC network.
1:56
Speaker 1: A and M eleven and three. Auburn is nine and five.
2:03
Speaker 1: They have played a more difficult schedule, but they're coming
2:07
Speaker 1: off a conference loss, bad conference loss at Georgia. Not
2:14
Speaker 1: that Georgia is not good, but they had the game
2:16
Speaker 1: won and then didn't. We'll hear from Stephen Pearl coming up,
2:23
Speaker 1: and a lot of other SEC games. South Carolina, LSU,
2:29
Speaker 1: Georgia and Florida both of those six o'clock games. And
2:32
Speaker 1: then besides A and M, Auburn, Texas and Tennessee play
2:37
Speaker 1: a late game tonight. Then tomorrow night, Missouri's at Kentucky, Oklahoma,
2:42
Speaker 1: Mississippi State Alabama Vanderbilt, which is probably going to be
2:47
Speaker 1: the game of the week in the SEC, and then
2:50
Speaker 1: Arkansas and Ole miss elsewhere unbeaten in second rank Michigan
2:56
Speaker 1: as at Penn State, Duke is at LOEUI of Texas
3:02
Speaker 1: Tech and Houston played a night at eight o'clock. That
3:06
Speaker 1: game is on FS one and on ESPN. I think
3:13
Speaker 1: is TCU and Kansas all right, So we got that
3:20
Speaker 1: going on for us. The college football playoff semi finals
3:25
Speaker 1: begin Thursday night. That's at the Fiesta Bowl. It's Ole
3:29
Speaker 1: Miss and Miami, and again we will hear from Miami's
3:34
Speaker 1: head coach Mario Christibaul coming up in the second hour
3:37
Speaker 1: of the program. LSU administration is still allowing their offensive
3:44
Speaker 1: coordinator Charlie Weiss and running backs coach Kevin Smith to
3:48
Speaker 1: continue coaching for the sixth rank Rebels for their semifinal
3:53
Speaker 1: game on Thursday. Weiss and Smith flew to Baton Rouge
4:00
Speaker 1: yesterday for recruiting visits, then returned to Oxford last night
4:06
Speaker 1: to continue preparations. The team flying today to Scottsdale, Arizona.
4:13
Speaker 1: Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter telling ESPN today, our
4:17
Speaker 1: main focus is on winning this game. Charlie meaning Charlie
4:21
Speaker 1: Weiss has been awesome. Juggling two high profile jobs. He's
4:25
Speaker 1: been incredible. We have no complaints. Florida got a huge
4:30
Speaker 1: recruit today. John Sumral, new head coach, has convinced, along
4:36
Speaker 1: with some cash, I bet running back Jaden Baw to
4:39
Speaker 1: return to the Gators in twenty twenty six. Baw had
4:45
Speaker 1: been undecided about the transfer portal. He had eleven and
4:50
Speaker 1: seventy yards this last year with eight touchdowns averaged over
4:54
Speaker 1: five yards. A Carrie ran for six hundred and seventy
4:58
Speaker 1: three yards. His fresh and sees it. Texas red shirt
5:03
Speaker 1: freshman wide receiver Parker Livingstone is proving that money is
5:08
Speaker 1: thicker than blood. Arch Manning's roommate in Austin not only
5:14
Speaker 1: turned the Longhorns down they were offering chump change, but
5:18
Speaker 1: committed to that school north of the Red River. Yeah
5:22
Speaker 1: he's going to the enemy for eight hundred thousand dollars.
5:26
Speaker 1: Livingstone pushed for similar money from Texas, was only offered
5:32
Speaker 1: half of that, with the potential of negotiating a higher salary,
5:37
Speaker 1: but concern his number of targets might decrease. In his
5:40
Speaker 1: third season, he caught five twenty nine passes for five
5:45
Speaker 1: hundred and sixteen yards and six touchdowns this year in Austin,
5:52
Speaker 1: the top one hundred most watched US telecasts this year, okay,
6:01
Speaker 1: in all categories. In all categories, two of them political.
6:09
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that it was a debate somewhere, maybe election coverage.
6:14
Speaker 1: When it was eight, the next one sixty seven. There
6:17
Speaker 1: was one boxing, which I have no idea what that is.
6:20
Speaker 1: There were two baseball and this doesn't say exactly yet
6:24
Speaker 1: what the games are in assuming the World Series. There
6:27
Speaker 1: was a Kentucky Derby that finished ninety sixth. There was
6:31
Speaker 1: a college basketball that finished eighty seventh. And can I
6:38
Speaker 1: tell you ESPN, which is paying I don't know roughly
6:43
Speaker 1: nineteen bazillion dollars to broadcast the NBA. How many NBA
6:50
Speaker 1: games were there in the top one hundred, zip, zero, nothing, nada.
7:00
Speaker 1: There were seven college games in the top one hundred.
7:06
Speaker 1: There were eighty three NFL games, So eighty three of
7:12
Speaker 1: the top one hundred most watched TV programs this past
7:18
Speaker 1: year were NFL football games. So where's the power? Where's
7:26
Speaker 1: the money? I mean, I think we already know that,
7:30
Speaker 1: don't we. I just I find that very interesting. The
7:35
Speaker 1: writers are talking yesterday about college playoffs, and they had
7:41
Speaker 1: good numbers, and again, maybe one or two of those
7:50
Speaker 1: who were after the first years, so they're not counted
7:53
Speaker 1: in this past year. You feel me, But man, oh man,
8:00
Speaker 1: that is total domination, total domination. That's crazy. This is
8:10
Speaker 1: from Sportico. By the way, Thanksgiving Parade did very well.
8:18
Speaker 1: It finished thirtieth on the list, so I guess they'll
8:22
Speaker 1: keep doing that. And one Academy Awards finished seventy second.
8:34
Speaker 1: I'm surprised. I didn't think that would register. But man,
8:39
Speaker 1: oh man, is the NFL dominating or what? Okay, shows
8:46
Speaker 1: what happens when you have lots of money and no scruples. Okay.
8:53

Speaker 1: heard yet. I'm not attempting to start any kind of
11:38
Speaker 1: rumor whether he is in the transfer portal or not.
11:42
Speaker 1: He shocked the world by going to the transfer portal
11:46
Speaker 1: over a year ago, so and he got a good
11:51
Speaker 1: contract with that, so maybe he's going a different We'll
11:54

Speaker 1: edition of Friday's Fearless Football Forecast contests. Morgan, Is that you?
13:19
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm here.
13:20
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, what have you done? I don't know
13:29
Speaker 1: you made these picks all your own. I know you
13:31
Speaker 1: did because your dad didn't do as well as you did.
13:35
Speaker 10: I absolutely did do them on my own.
13:37
Speaker 1: Okay, I just want to point this out. You picked
13:41
Speaker 1: Miami to beat Texas A and M, and you picked
13:45
Speaker 1: Texas to beat Michigan and Morgan. Normally people are booing
13:50
Speaker 1: and hissing, but hey, you can boo and hiss with
13:54
Speaker 1: all these prizes in your back pocket because you made
13:58
Speaker 1: the right picks.
14:00
Speaker 11: You know, I don't really know how I did that,
14:03
Speaker 11: you know, I just I've been watching them, Yeah, watching
14:06
Speaker 11: all the teams.
14:07
Speaker 1: You've been doing pretty well all year.
14:11
Speaker 12: Listen, it's that gut instinct. And then you know about
14:13
Speaker 12: a little secret, but I can't tell it.
14:16
Speaker 1: Oh maybe sometime you could whisper at my ear?
14:20
Speaker 13: Would you absolutely tell you?
14:23
Speaker 6: All right?
14:24
Speaker 1: So when did you know that you had won this thing?
14:27
Speaker 14: Actually my dad called me.
14:31
Speaker 11: I think it was like eleven this morning.
14:34
Speaker 1: Okay, well, uh, there were other people that went eight
14:38
Speaker 1: and two, but but your tiebreaker was was the best
14:42
Speaker 1: with that Miami A and M game. Uh just uh.
14:46
Speaker 1: For record purposes, you had picked Clemson to beat Penn State,
14:51
Speaker 1: as did I. You had beat Georgia Tech to beat
14:55
Speaker 1: b y U, as did I. So you can tell
14:58
Speaker 1: how I did. Okay, Morgan, here's what we have. I
15:03
Speaker 1: have a book here. It's going to take you through
15:06
Speaker 1: the history of Western music, not country Western music called
15:13
Speaker 1: Romancing the West, with music and human writers in the sky.
15:17
Speaker 1: I had these guys on a couple of months ago
15:19
Speaker 1: when they were here for Opus. They're hilarius. I have, Morgan,
15:25
Speaker 1: I don't know if and I don't know if we've
15:27
Speaker 1: ever had this conversation. I think now it's the time
15:30
Speaker 1: to have it. Are you a Rangers or an Astros fan?
15:38
Speaker 15: I would probably say Astro.
15:42
Speaker 1: That's really the wrong answer. So I don't know if
15:45
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you this commemorative Rangers baseball or not.
15:50
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to think about that. But I have
15:55
Speaker 1: a homemade apple pie from Readfield Meats for you, and
16:00
Speaker 1: I have a brunch for two for Casa manyare. If
16:06
Speaker 1: you haven't been to this, this is pretty exceptional. Okay,
16:09
Speaker 1: so at least you're gonna eat well. Now, if I
16:16
Speaker 1: ever decide to get like any Astros memorabilia, which I
16:22
Speaker 1: doubt that I will, but if sometimes people just send
16:24
Speaker 1: me stuff, I'll throw that your way.
16:27
Speaker 12: How's that that sounds absolutely wondering.
16:30
Speaker 1: The main thing is you will forever be remembered as
16:36
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five Bowl Edition winner of Fridday' Spearless
16:42
Speaker 1: Football Forecast Contest. Morgan, you can come pick up your
16:46
Speaker 1: prizes or I'll probably just give them to your dad
16:48
Speaker 1: to give you. How's that Okay, that's perfect, Thank you
16:51
Speaker 1: so much. Yes, ma'am, congratulations, thank you. That's Morgan Siegel.
16:56
Speaker 1: She is this year's winner. All right, let's do this.
17:02
Speaker 1: We are going to hear from the Auburn basketball coach
17:08
Speaker 1: Steven Pearl.
17:11
Speaker 16: Yeah s you see open her home.
17:13
Speaker 17: So another late one, but obviously looking forward to being
17:18
Speaker 17: back in front of our fans, in front of the jungle.
17:22
Speaker 17: You know, got another you know, tough opponent in text
17:24
Speaker 17: A and m coming in a big win for them
17:27
Speaker 17: on Tuesday or sorry, Saturday night against LSU. Tough LSU squad,
17:32
Speaker 17: so really dynamic offensively, you know, score a lot of points,
17:38
Speaker 17: really play with the you know, play the fast tempo,
17:42
Speaker 17: so really trying to speed you up defensively. I'm glad
17:46
Speaker 17: we played you know, George obviously before playing them, because
17:49
Speaker 17: kind of similar in that regard.
17:50
Speaker 16: They're gonna press for forty minutes.
17:52
Speaker 17: Uh, text A and M is a little more aggressive
17:54
Speaker 17: and they're pressing though, They're gonna blitch a little bit
17:57
Speaker 17: more and you know, try and get you to do
17:59
Speaker 17: things that you don't typically practice. So yeah, gonna be uh,
18:04
Speaker 17: you know, past paced game, high tempo game, and you know,
18:08
Speaker 17: I'm just excited to get back out there, son, Take
18:10
Speaker 17: any questions.
18:14
Speaker 18: Soon. Obviously there's a difference between like Queens and Georgia
18:17
Speaker 18: in terms of talent a little bit.
18:19
Speaker 6: Did you see stuff maybe on.
18:20
Speaker 18: A film that y'all did on defense against Queens that
18:22
Speaker 18: maybe you didn't do as much against Georgia or was
18:25
Speaker 18: it a step up? I got like, what what?
18:27
Speaker 6: What did you think about it?
18:28
Speaker 18: After against Queens?
18:33
Speaker 17: Yeah, it was you know, we came out, we were
18:35
Speaker 17: aggressive defensively, and you know, we had two silly fouls.
18:39
Speaker 17: You know, uh Keishawan reached with the wrong hand and
18:42
Speaker 17: kind of ran into the guy in the in the
18:44
Speaker 17: in the corner. Didn't really affect the place, and I
18:47
Speaker 17: wish they wouldn't have called it. But then Cayden has
18:49
Speaker 17: a silly foul early and then we had two more
18:52
Speaker 17: just kind of whatever hand checks, which I thought were
18:55
Speaker 17: just ridiculous. That in itself kind of disrupted what were
19:00
Speaker 17: doing defensively because you know, we felt like we had
19:03
Speaker 17: to you know, back off our pressure a little bit,
19:05
Speaker 17: and it, you know, kind of set the tone for us,
19:08
Speaker 17: I thought.
19:09
Speaker 16: And we didn't do a good job of just adjusting.
19:11
Speaker 17: And I thought in the Queen's Game, we were way
19:13
Speaker 17: more loaded in the gaps and we were connected defensively,
19:17
Speaker 17: and you know, we did a good job of playing
19:20
Speaker 17: physically defensively, I thought early, you know, with four quick whistles,
19:24
Speaker 17: it kind of you know, we didn't do a good
19:27
Speaker 17: job of adjusting to it as the game went on. Obviously,
19:30
Speaker 17: like you said, like there was a step up in talent,
19:32
Speaker 17: a step up in speed, a step up in quickness.
19:35
Speaker 16: You know, they had guards. I could really get biased.
19:36
Speaker 17: And the rest of the game we were just hugged
19:38
Speaker 17: up to our men and we were never loaded to
19:40
Speaker 17: the ball, and we were never in gaps, and we
19:41
Speaker 17: didn't square up our closeouts, and they just drove us.
19:44
Speaker 17: You know, we jumped. We jumped at like eleven shot fakes,
19:48
Speaker 17: and seven of those.
19:48
Speaker 16: Were on the perimeter.
19:49
Speaker 17: And all we talked about in film was staying down
19:51
Speaker 17: in perimeter shot fakes.
19:53
Speaker 16: Squaring your man.
19:53
Speaker 17: Up and loaded into the ball, and we just didn't
19:55
Speaker 17: do a great job of doing any of those things,
19:57
Speaker 17: and we as a coaching staff did a really poor
19:59
Speaker 17: job of making the adjustm So you know, we just
20:02
Speaker 17: weren't as connected and it obviously showed. And you know,
20:05
Speaker 17: we made one hundred and twenty seven defensive mistakes. If
20:09
Speaker 17: you're just gonna nitpick it and look through everything, one
20:12
Speaker 17: hundred and twenty seven defensive mistakes and we're up three
20:15
Speaker 17: and overtime with three minutes left with the ball. Everyone
20:19
Speaker 17: cuts three or four of their mistakes out defensively throughout
20:21
Speaker 17: that game.
20:22
Speaker 16: You know, we won by ten.
20:24
Speaker 17: We also missed twelve free throws, so you know, all
20:27
Speaker 17: that to be said, if we just cut down on
20:30
Speaker 17: some of our defensive mistakes, you know, make a few
20:32
Speaker 17: more free throws, obviously, you know you're able to get
20:34
Speaker 17: a great.
20:34
Speaker 16: Road win on the road against a ranked team. So
20:38
Speaker 16: we're right there.
20:39
Speaker 17: We just got to, you know, obviously, execute a little
20:41
Speaker 17: bit better and clean a few things up on the
20:43
Speaker 17: defensive side.
20:44
Speaker 1: The worst freaking state to live in right now, it.
20:49
Speaker 16: Makes you want thing to.
20:50
Speaker 18: Play, is just continuing to show them on the film
20:53
Speaker 18: here's a mistake, here's a mistake.
20:54
Speaker 6: We just gotta get ten percent better today.
20:57
Speaker 18: I mean, how do you teach them or how do
20:59
Speaker 18: you get to know open their eye?
21:01
Speaker 7: Have it?
21:01
Speaker 17: Yeah, we've shown them on film. You know, we've done
21:04
Speaker 17: it in team settings, and you know this week we
21:06
Speaker 17: did it more in an individual setting. So you know
21:08
Speaker 17: what we did is as a group, we watched all
21:10
Speaker 17: of our good possessions and we had twenty three really
21:12
Speaker 17: good defensive possessions against Georgia. Problem is that there was
21:15
Speaker 17: like eighty something possessions in the game, so in the
21:17
Speaker 17: other sixty possessions, we weren't very good. So what I
21:20
Speaker 17: did was I broke down every single possession and I
21:23
Speaker 17: did individual sorders for every player for them to come
21:26
Speaker 17: in and watch with a coach of what they didn't
21:29
Speaker 17: do well. So, you know, we've always shown it on film,
21:32
Speaker 17: and you know, we just kind of changed up our
21:34
Speaker 17: approach a little bit this week and did it more
21:35
Speaker 17: in like a one on one setting to see if
21:37
Speaker 17: that would be a little would help impact the guys
21:39
Speaker 17: and let them, you know, just kind of register a
21:41
Speaker 17: little bit more because in one on one settings maybe
21:43
Speaker 17: maybe it helps as opposed to doing it in front
21:45
Speaker 17: of the team, so, you know, showed a lot of
21:48
Speaker 17: good stuff though, you know, showed a lot of good
21:50
Speaker 17: in front of the team. You know, we we kind
21:51
Speaker 17: of talked through today some of the things that we've
21:53
Speaker 17: done this season that you know, could be effective against
21:56
Speaker 17: an M and you know, it's.
21:58
Speaker 16: All in there.
21:59
Speaker 17: It's just a matter of just bringing it out, you know,
22:01
Speaker 17: and just collectively doing it.
22:02
Speaker 16: For forty minutes back there.
22:06
Speaker 19: You can really see Philip growing as a as a
22:09
Speaker 19: season comes on. Just talk a little bit about, you know,
22:11
Speaker 19: how what you've seen from him, how important he is
22:14
Speaker 19: to what you need there inside.
22:15
Speaker 17: Yeah, he's just been He's been great. You know, he
22:20
Speaker 17: was He was an unbelievable spark off the bench. Ten points,
22:23
Speaker 17: ten rebounds, five offensive rebounds.
22:26
Speaker 13: Uh.
22:26
Speaker 17: He was our best one on one defender.
22:28
Speaker 16: Uh.
22:29
Speaker 17: He was the best one guarding their guards, and he
22:31
Speaker 17: was the best one guarding their bigs. And you know,
22:33
Speaker 17: we watch film today of him getting in a stance
22:35
Speaker 17: and just getting low and wide, and I like challenge
22:39
Speaker 17: my guards, like, that's what you guys need to look like,
22:40
Speaker 17: because if he can do it, like, you know, you
22:42
Speaker 17: guys should be able to too. You know, he just
22:45
Speaker 17: he he has a different level of pride than most guys,
22:49
Speaker 17: most kids you're gonna see, and you know, he's a freshman,
22:52
Speaker 17: you know, and he just does so many things. And
22:56
Speaker 17: I think part of it is, you know, Coach Bowman
22:57
Speaker 17: has been doing a great job with Philip, bringing him
23:00
Speaker 17: in just kind of working with him one on one,
23:02
Speaker 17: and I think it's helped to grow his confidence, you know,
23:05
Speaker 17: each and every day. So Philip's been way more present
23:09
Speaker 17: in the practice gym, just getting extra reps, in extra
23:11
Speaker 17: working with ib and and it showed so for him,
23:15
Speaker 17: he's just got to continue to stay consistent in those
23:17
Speaker 17: things because you know, you saw, like what he showed
23:21
Speaker 17: against Georgia is what the reason why I recruit him
23:23
Speaker 17: is because like that's the guy I saw, you know,
23:25
Speaker 17: playing overseas.
23:26
Speaker 16: You know for the last couple of years.
23:27
Speaker 17: It's just that efficiency and that effectiveness and you know,
23:30
Speaker 17: his ability to just use this speed and quickness to
23:33
Speaker 17: get to certain spots. And you know, obviously would love
23:36
Speaker 17: to just have him for a couple of years to
23:38
Speaker 17: just develop him because you know, he can shoot the
23:39
Speaker 17: ball too. We just haven't been able to get that
23:41
Speaker 17: side of the game going for him yet.
23:43
Speaker 16: So he's just he's got a ton of potential.
23:45
Speaker 17: And if he can continue to play like that and
23:47
Speaker 17: give us those minutes off the bench, you know, at
23:49
Speaker 17: the four or the five, you know, it's just gonna
23:51
Speaker 17: just it's gonna be great for us. So glad to
23:53
Speaker 17: see him just continuing to grow.
23:56
Speaker 18: When you've got a defense and no overall style, this
23:58
Speaker 18: is as unique as what Texas and him does.
24:00
Speaker 20: How do you go about preparing for that quick? You know,
24:03
Speaker 20: Savay and Tuesday and turn around?
24:05
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean we uh. You know.
24:08
Speaker 17: The one positive is we just played against a team
24:10
Speaker 17: that presses for forty minutes, so we've been able to
24:12
Speaker 17: go against it. You know, Saint John's pressed for forty minutes.
24:17
Speaker 17: Memphis pressed a lot of the game, So we've been
24:20
Speaker 17: lucky enough to go up a team against teams.
24:22
Speaker 16: That have already done that.
24:23
Speaker 17: There's a little more unique because they do more things
24:26
Speaker 17: out of it, and they're way more aggressive, and you know,
24:28
Speaker 17: I think they're better on ball defenders than most of
24:31
Speaker 17: the teams that we've played, and they create more turnovers
24:33
Speaker 17: off of it. So our guys got to be assertive.
24:35
Speaker 17: They can't be casual, they can't be cool. You know,
24:38
Speaker 17: you watch film and you'll see games where you know,
24:42
Speaker 17: they're they're down like sixteen at SMU and then all
24:45
Speaker 17: of a sudden, they're up four with thirty seconds left
24:48
Speaker 17: and you know, had a chance to win that game.
24:52
Speaker 17: You know they you know, they just they can flip
24:55
Speaker 17: games really quickly with just their pressure and their ability
24:58
Speaker 17: to just create steals.
24:59
Speaker 16: And they do a great job of sharing it with
25:01
Speaker 16: one another.
25:01
Speaker 17: They I think our fourth in the country and assists
25:03
Speaker 17: per field goals made, So they just do a great
25:06
Speaker 17: job of sharing the basketball and they do a great
25:08
Speaker 17: job of creating offense from their defense. So for us,
25:10
Speaker 17: it's you know, watching film of you know, what other
25:12
Speaker 17: teams are doing and what you know what doesn't work,
25:15
Speaker 17: and you know, just kind of showing them we've gone
25:18
Speaker 17: against this this year and these are the things that
25:20
Speaker 17: we have to do in order for us to be
25:21
Speaker 17: successful against you know, their their their defense.
25:26
Speaker 18: I would sway, I mean forty two minutes in his
25:29
Speaker 18: first SEC game, would you kind of make of his performance?
25:32
Speaker 18: And I didn't score, but he was out there a
25:34
Speaker 18: lot for you all defensively, pretty good force on the
25:36
Speaker 18: boards as well.
25:38
Speaker 17: Yeah, I have high expectations for Sebastian, you know, and
25:42
Speaker 17: in forty one minutes.
25:43
Speaker 16: You know, he's got to be he's got to.
25:45
Speaker 17: Be more impactful when he's in there in the game.
25:48
Speaker 16: Now here here, Here's what. Like, we didn't talk about
25:50
Speaker 16: this after the game.
25:51
Speaker 17: Elijah was out of the game for like twelve minutes
25:54
Speaker 17: because there was a moving screen that the other end
25:56
Speaker 17: with a guy basically just like knees his his thigh
25:59
Speaker 17: and he had like a thigh contusion and he like
26:02
Speaker 17: kind of.
26:02
Speaker 16: Locked up on him.
26:03
Speaker 17: So Sebastian probably played five to seven too many minutes
26:07
Speaker 17: and it, you know, it led to some fatigue late
26:10
Speaker 17: in the game. And Sebastian is best when he is
26:13
Speaker 17: just fresh and he's flying around and doing all the
26:16
Speaker 17: things that he can do to affect the game, you know,
26:18
Speaker 17: on both ends of the floor. And I think, you know,
26:20
Speaker 17: I played him too many minutes because one it was
26:22
Speaker 17: kind of out of necessity just because of foul trouble.
26:26
Speaker 16: And obviously I just trust.
26:27
Speaker 17: Sebastian when he's out there to do the things that
26:29
Speaker 17: he needs to do in order for us to win.
26:31
Speaker 17: But I need him to be more assertive and more aggressive,
26:33
Speaker 17: and I need him to you know, obviously do a
26:36
Speaker 17: better job of just finishing around the rim against the
26:38
Speaker 17: better teams on our schedule, because I know he's capable
26:40
Speaker 17: of doing so. And you know, this will be a
26:43
Speaker 17: good game for him because the ball is going to
26:45
Speaker 17: be in his hands against the press, and he does
26:47
Speaker 17: a really good job of bringing the ball up the floor.
26:49
Speaker 17: You know, and you've kind of seen it how aggressive
26:50
Speaker 17: he can be in the pace that he plays with
26:52
Speaker 17: he plays under control. So I'm excited for him in
26:55
Speaker 17: this game because you know, I think it's something that
26:57
Speaker 17: could kind of play to his strengths a little bit more.
26:58
Speaker 17: But defensively, you know, it was the first time, and
27:02
Speaker 17: I think it was part part of it was because
27:03
Speaker 17: the rest of the team was doing it where he
27:05
Speaker 17: wasn't out there making as many plays as.
27:06
Speaker 16: He typically does. He was kind of hugged up to
27:08
Speaker 16: his man on.
27:08
Speaker 17: The corner, and you know, he's he's more accountable than
27:11
Speaker 17: anybody in those situations. So while he played forty one
27:14
Speaker 17: minutes and you know he hadn't I mean when he
27:16
Speaker 17: had like seven rebounds, like he did a great job
27:18
Speaker 17: on the boards, Like I need him to be more
27:21
Speaker 17: aggressive getting to the rim and finishing through contact.
27:23
Speaker 16: I need him to.
27:24
Speaker 17: I need him to step out and shoot a pick
27:26
Speaker 17: and pop three like I need him, you know, to do.
27:28
Speaker 16: The things that I know he's really good at.
27:29
Speaker 17: And we got to do a better job of getting
27:30
Speaker 17: the ball in his hands in certain situations because he's
27:32
Speaker 17: such a good passer. But he's got a you know,
27:35
Speaker 17: when he's out there, you know, he's got to just
27:38
Speaker 17: continue to look to be effective in the ways that
27:40
Speaker 17: we know he's capable.
27:41
Speaker 16: And part of it was just, you know.
27:42
Speaker 17: Elijah, we should If Elijah hadn't gotten hurt, Elija would
27:45
Speaker 17: have probably played thirty and then Sebastian would have only
27:47
Speaker 17: had to play like thirty four and he would have
27:49
Speaker 17: been a little more fresh out there. So that was
27:52
Speaker 17: just kind of how the game kind of flowed. But
27:55
Speaker 17: I mean, he's gonna play a lot of minutes for
27:56
Speaker 17: us because he's effective.
27:59
Speaker 16: You know.
27:59
Speaker 17: Part of it was, you know, I think in some
28:02
Speaker 17: of our high major games recently, he's gotten in foul
28:04
Speaker 17: trouble early in the games, and I think he was
28:06
Speaker 17: trying not to do that. He's a smart enough player
28:08
Speaker 17: that would play aggressively without failing, and that's what I
28:10
Speaker 17: just continue to tell him is like, you know, you
28:12
Speaker 17: can still be aggressive and without failing.
28:14
Speaker 16: You know what that looks like.
28:15
Speaker 17: So it's the thing that just comes with experience. You know,
28:17
Speaker 17: we got three or four freshmen out there right now,
28:19
Speaker 17: and you know they're just continuing to learn and coaches.
28:24
Speaker 21: Seeing him talking about the new business six. How much
28:27
Speaker 21: is effort?
28:28
Speaker 18: How much is dolling the game plan? Like what's the
28:32
Speaker 18: expectation on the improvement that you want to see from
28:35
Speaker 18: game to game?
28:36
Speaker 1: Like what are you like, Hey, that's an effort thing,
28:38
Speaker 1: or hey that's that's just something that maybe you guys
28:40
Speaker 1: have got adjust to.
28:41
Speaker 21: It takes time, Like how do you sort of view
28:43
Speaker 21: what you want to see? Then that's time out.
28:46
Speaker 6: Yeah.
28:46
Speaker 17: I mean if you sat there and just digested or
28:48
Speaker 17: just picked apart everything, you would have way too much
28:51
Speaker 17: to try and fix, you know. So you got to
28:54
Speaker 17: you got to simplify and find one or two things
28:56
Speaker 17: that we got to get better at. And I think
28:58
Speaker 17: the two main things is are our closeouts on the
29:00
Speaker 17: ball and our positioning off the ball. Our closeouts were
29:04
Speaker 17: really bad against Georgia. We were way too opened up
29:08
Speaker 17: and we had we offered zero help off the ball.
29:11
Speaker 17: Everyone was just hugged up to their men off the ball.
29:13
Speaker 17: So those are like the two biggest things I need
29:14
Speaker 17: to see improvement on this week is just squaring up
29:16
Speaker 17: our closeouts more and just being more loaded to the
29:19
Speaker 17: ball and gaps. And if we can do those things,
29:21
Speaker 17: those two things, a lot of our mistakes, you know,
29:23
Speaker 17: would I think be fixed. We don't have great rim protection.
29:26
Speaker 17: You know, our best our best room protector is are
29:28
Speaker 17: six seven to five man Philip because he rotates over
29:31
Speaker 17: and he gets vertical every single time. And Georgia made,
29:35
Speaker 17: like I told our guys like they made ten like
29:38
Speaker 17: fu shots, Like when they make a shot, I'm like you, like,
29:42
Speaker 17: I can't believe he just made that, Like that's gonna happen.
29:46
Speaker 17: We got to limit the freaking layups and we just
29:49
Speaker 17: we let them have six or seven uncontested layups. Like
29:52
Speaker 17: we need collisions at the rim, and the way to
29:55
Speaker 17: avoid those collisions is squaring up your stance on your
29:58
Speaker 17: closeouts and then being in the gap to offer a
30:00
Speaker 17: little bit more help. And if we do those two things,
30:02
Speaker 17: like I think a lot of the things that we're
30:05
Speaker 17: looking at on film, you obviously can get fixed. But
30:08
Speaker 17: to answer your question, even more specifically, like paying more
30:12
Speaker 17: attention to what we're showing you in film is really important.
30:18
Speaker 17: You know, just a quick example, like perimeter shot fix.
30:22
Speaker 17: They do it all the time, and we jumped at
30:24
Speaker 17: like ten or eleven of them.
30:26
Speaker 16: Got to stop doing that.
30:28
Speaker 17: Like every time you jump at a perimeter shot fake
30:30
Speaker 17: against a team that would rather shoot two's, they're going
30:32
Speaker 17: to have the advantage when they drive past you and
30:34
Speaker 17: like you know, to hide.
30:35
Speaker 16: Jumped at like four or five of them.
30:37
Speaker 17: Ko jumped at a couple Elijah, like our guards have
30:39
Speaker 17: got to stay down on their feet and you know
30:41
Speaker 17: in those situations. So I think it's just having a
30:43
Speaker 17: little more attention to detail on some of the things
30:46
Speaker 17: that we're we're talking about in the scout. We as
30:47
Speaker 17: coaches got to simplify it a little bit more. I
30:49
Speaker 17: think we maybe showing them a little bit too much
30:51
Speaker 17: right now with ten new guys. It's hard because we've
30:54
Speaker 17: been doing things a certain way for a long time
30:56
Speaker 17: and it's been effective, but we've also had retention on.
30:58
Speaker 16: A lot of these teams.
30:59
Speaker 17: We don't have that with this group, so you know,
31:01
Speaker 17: we gotta we got to make adjustments to.
31:03
Speaker 16: The staff, and I think we're what we've done so
31:04
Speaker 16: this week, right yea.
31:07
Speaker 18: With Texas A and M the way they do their
31:09
Speaker 18: offense is completely a different team in the last year
31:11
Speaker 18: and just with Bucky style and just kind of what
31:13
Speaker 18: they're doing. What stands out to you about them, like
31:16
Speaker 18: you said, very similar to Georgia and how they like
31:17
Speaker 18: to play.
31:18
Speaker 16: Fast and attacks.
31:20
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean first shot they like is going up,
31:22
Speaker 17: So you gotta do an unbelievable job and your transition defense,
31:25
Speaker 17: getting back and just getting bodies on bodies. You can't
31:27
Speaker 17: worry about your matchups and transition because they do such
31:30
Speaker 17: a great job of advance passing it. And then those guys,
31:33
Speaker 17: you know, Griffin will just pull it from three. Domingos,
31:36
Speaker 17: We'll just pull it from three. Pop Isaacs will just
31:39
Speaker 17: pull it from three. And then they got a couple
31:41
Speaker 17: of water bugs that just drive it downhill and can
31:43
Speaker 17: get down to their right hands really really really quick.
31:46
Speaker 17: So we got to do a really good job of
31:48
Speaker 17: you know, building a wall on on Mark's Hill and
31:51
Speaker 17: you know on Jakari Lane and Josh Holloway, all those
31:54
Speaker 17: guys are really fast, dynamic downhill guards and they can
31:57
Speaker 17: you know, make threes and they can make two so
32:01
Speaker 17: we just got to get back in transition and you know,
32:04
Speaker 17: get bodies on bodies, loads the ball and you know,
32:08
Speaker 17: kind of guard them from there and you just can't
32:09
Speaker 17: be surprised when a shot goes up. They they are
32:12
Speaker 17: a much better offensive rebounding team than I think with
32:14
Speaker 17: the numbers show. They do a really good job, you know,
32:16
Speaker 17: because they shoot some threes. They do a great job
32:18
Speaker 17: of getting long shots along rebounds. So gotta get back
32:21
Speaker 17: in transition and we gotta, we gotta, you know, contest shots.
32:24
Speaker 16: And we got a box out.
32:30
Speaker 1: That's Steven pearl Son of Bruce Tough Shoes to fill tonight.
32:36
Speaker 1: Auburn and A and M eight o'clock sefcheck Service centers
32:39
Speaker 1: open right now until six. They're open all week long,
32:42
Speaker 1: seven to six through Friday, seven to four on Saturdays.
32:46
Speaker 1: Pat and his staff are carrying on a tradition that's
32:49
Speaker 1: been going on over a half century, well over half
32:52
Speaker 1: century in our community. One of customer service and satisfaction,
32:57
Speaker 1: honesty and integrity. If you have car truck issues, if
33:02
Speaker 1: you have an emergency like a flat, tired, dead battery,
33:05
Speaker 1: there's no better place to go. If you have some
33:07
Speaker 1: more serious issues, there's no better place to go. There's
33:11
Speaker 1: no better people that you are going to be.
33:16

38:28
Speaker 1: good one tonight in Carolina. Radik Foxa just received news

Speaker 1: that he has been selected to the Czech Olympic team.
38:38

38:41
Speaker 1: be playing Olympic hockey again. They're willing to compress the
38:46
Speaker 1: regular season NHL schedule in order to do it, and
38:52
Speaker 1: it will be very entertaining. Here is Radik foxa earlier
38:57
Speaker 1: today talking about being elected to the Czech team at
39:01
Speaker 1: getting ready for Carolina this evening with the Stars.
39:11

39:23
Speaker 26: like to be named for a team that's going to
39:25
Speaker 26: play in the Olympic's kind of.
39:26
Speaker 1: A big deal.
39:27
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's a big deal for for for the Czech
39:30
Speaker 11: country at all.
39:30
Speaker 6: Uh, it's probably for sure.
39:33
Speaker 11: Because tournament of UH of the player of hockey, players
39:37
Speaker 11: who could.
39:38
Speaker 6: Play like UH, community to it. I got to sell there.
39:45
Speaker 26: I was gonna say, that's the World Junior everything here.
39:48
Speaker 26: Obviously in the US we're gonna talk to US, Canada, US,
39:51
Speaker 26: But the World Junior shows you there are a lot
39:53
Speaker 26: of other teams that can.
39:54
Speaker 6: Win the gold medals.
39:56
Speaker 11: Yeah, we have good also, good players in the in
40:00
Speaker 11: checker Republic still, and I think we can compete with
40:03
Speaker 11: the best teams, with any team with top teams in
40:07
Speaker 11: the with you as kind of, I think we can compete.
40:09
Speaker 11: And but for sure we had to perform us as
40:15
Speaker 11: as the best as possible.
40:17
Speaker 6: Do you get to bring your family as we.
40:19
Speaker 26: Were talking about, and that seems like that would be
40:21
Speaker 26: the coolest part.
40:23
Speaker 11: Yeah, for sure we want to bring. For sure, my
40:26
Speaker 11: wife and my son will go.
40:28
Speaker 6: For sure. I don't know if my daughter because she's at.
40:30
Speaker 11: She's sixteen sixteen months, she's kind of tough age, you know,
40:33
Speaker 11: she she would have no idea, so uh yeah, but uh,
40:37
Speaker 11: probably my mom dies and I don't know who else,
40:41
Speaker 11: but uh, for sure some family will be will be there.
40:45
Speaker 26: And then what about the streak? Right now, you guys
40:48
Speaker 26: are on it's not I mean it's not technically, I
40:51
Speaker 26: guess it is losing streak when you guys get points
40:53
Speaker 26: at a different games. What do you guys need to
40:55
Speaker 26: do is just to step up the play.
40:57
Speaker 11: At Uh yeah, I feel like we last five games
41:02
Speaker 11: in a row, but three of them were in overtime,
41:05
Speaker 11: and uh except the Baffall game, everything was pretty close,
41:09
Speaker 11: you know, so uh uh we need to just uh
41:13
Speaker 11: give the one extra percent, you know, and uh play
41:16
Speaker 11: how we played before the break, and uh uh we
41:21
Speaker 11: need to just get the first win and then jump
41:23
Speaker 11: jump from there.
41:23
Speaker 6: Having uh we're in good spot.
41:25
Speaker 11: So I think we should have still lots of confidence
41:27
Speaker 11: and uh, play our game what we played the whole
41:30
Speaker 11: season strategically.
41:32
Speaker 6: Is this a different challenge.
41:33
Speaker 26: They are the best possession team, they have the most.
41:36
Speaker 6: Shots on goal.
41:37
Speaker 26: They I mean, they're different than what you guys.
41:39
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, it's in Carolina. It's probably one of the
41:43
Speaker 11: toughest building to play and uh there was played so hard.
41:48
Speaker 11: You know, you don't have much space anywhere, and uh, yeah,
41:52
Speaker 11: we expect to kind of playoff type of game.
41:56
Speaker 1: Michael Randon will be with the finish team. He was
42:00
Speaker 1: with Carolina a year ago, but not for long before
42:04
Speaker 1: he got traded to Dallas right before the playoffs. Uh,
42:10
Speaker 1: and I know he's been asked about it before. He's
42:12
Speaker 1: probably tired of talking about it. But back in Carolina,
42:16
Speaker 1: you know he is going to be asked about it.
42:18
Speaker 1: Here is the Stars, Miko Rantnet.
42:22
Speaker 15: You tonight, Yeah, for sure, I understand you all the
42:26
Speaker 15: nature of it, and uh, it's a competitive sport and

Speaker 15: fans are really good here in Carolina. They're very they
42:34
Speaker 15: loved the team and it's really good to see you know,
42:37
Speaker 15: they're they're allowed and nothing but good things to say
42:40
Speaker 15: about the whole organization and the fans and but yeah,
42:45
Speaker 15: let's see how it is.
42:46
Speaker 12: Sebastian said that you all have been in contact about
42:49
Speaker 12: the Olympics and stuff, and that everything that happened hasn't
42:52
Speaker 12: impacted your relationship with him or anything.
42:54
Speaker 15: No, no, it's uh, you know, as he understands it
42:57
Speaker 15: and and I do, and and we're still good friends.
43:01
Speaker 6: You know, we had dinner last night.
43:02
Speaker 15: You know, he's a great friend of mine and excited
43:05
Speaker 15: to play with him in the Olympic level. He's obviously
43:08
Speaker 15: phenomenal player. So so it's a big, big part of
43:12
Speaker 15: our our finish.
43:13
Speaker 12: Team and fun to get a challenge against.
43:15
Speaker 16: You know, you guys are one of the best teams
43:17
Speaker 16: in the league.
43:17
Speaker 12: They're at the top of the Eastern Conference. A good
43:19
Speaker 12: measuring stick.
43:20
Speaker 6: Game, really yeah, really good. Always. I remember playing here.
43:24
Speaker 15: It's tough, you know, it's tough, tough to win here,
43:27
Speaker 15: you know, and and you know, we we were in
43:31
Speaker 15: the skid a little bit, you know, five games in
43:32
Speaker 15: a row, so we got to.
43:34
Speaker 6: This is the game to play simple. You know, we
43:36
Speaker 6: can't give too many opportunities.
43:37
Speaker 15: They have a lot of good players who can score,
43:39
Speaker 15: so so we gotta be one ofor tos right from
43:42
Speaker 15: the start.
43:43
Speaker 6: What do you remember most about your time?
43:46
Speaker 15: Just how nice everybody wasn't and like I said, organization,
43:50
Speaker 15: everybody who works there and all the players, like the fans,
43:54

44:12
Speaker 12: the shock of everything was a big part of why
44:15
Speaker 12: things maybe didn't work out here in Raley.
44:18
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think timing and you know, deadline was closing
44:22
Speaker 15: in and honestly they wanted to, you know, get the
44:28
Speaker 15: extension before the deadline. And I understand it totally. Uh yeah,
