  Entrance for Chris Daily, the associate coach of the Huskies, who did not
• 0:04
  wear the Christmas sweater. Tan. Yes, actually it is, Actually it
• 0:08
  is. They're sparkle to it. Yes, yes, yes, And I've
• 0:11
  got velvet pits and I like the ear rings. Yeah. So what do
• 0:14
  you say? What are you? What are you talking about? Not the
• 0:16
  ugly? Ugly? I was thinking I didn't do the ugliest sweater. No,
• 0:19
  that's not you, though, That's so not you. This is it,
• 0:22
  that's so not you. Very nicely. Hey, twelve threes in the
• 0:26
  game. Don't tell anybody that's a season high. Was that? What for
• 0:29
  your tea? We came up, how many get ten? Yes? Maybe
• 0:33
  you know what it's so. I actually could feel for Tony because the one
• 0:36
  kid is shooting fourteen percent from the three point line and she made two.
• 0:40
  I think number three is not a three point shooter. The point guard the
• 0:43
  lefties, she made one. At one point in the first half, they
• 0:46
  were shooting seventy percent from the Yeah, three, all right, you mentioned
• 0:50
  that. Okay, Norman came in three of twenty one, she made a
• 0:53
  pair, Wiggins was three of eighteen, she made one, and Jane's was
• 0:57
  three of eleven she made well, I still have the record because the girl
• 1:00
  at North Carolina, she was over thirteen and she made one and all year.
• 1:07
  Yeah. Oh that was also my scout. So I have a way
• 1:11
  of helping people's confidence when I say they can't shoot and then they do well.
• 1:17
  The offense is in a pretty good, pretty good spot right now.
• 1:19
  Well, you know what, I thought it was our defense really in the
• 1:23
  in the second half, especially where we kind of took control of the game
• 1:27
  and forced them into some turners and we didn't turn the ball over offensively.
• 1:33
  We got She's and I thought, honestly, in the first half, I
• 1:36
  thought we got caught up in the They shot a three and we shot a
• 1:38
  three. Not that we weren't necessarily open, but that was not necessarily every
• 1:42
  one of those shows. You know, you want threes within what you're trying
• 1:47
  to do by the players that you want to take them, and I thought
• 1:49
  some of the threes in the first half were quick threes. But then we
• 1:53
  kind of balanced that out and got good looks. And you know, Ashton
• 1:57
  played very well and she her pull up is all automatic, and she's actually
• 2:02
  turned out to be a much better three point shooter than probably what her reputation
• 2:06
  was coming in to college, known more as a as a pull up,
• 2:10
  you know, mid range game player, and she's really been as consistent as
• 2:14
  anyone from the three point lone. Were you happy with the consistency, you
• 2:17
  knowing that good four quarters against Louisville carried into another consistent four quarters tonight.
• 2:24
  Well, I still think that four quarters against Louisville were probably more consistent than
• 2:30
  what we had tonight. I thought we started out a little slow or you
• 2:35
  know, but maybe I'm just being picky, maybe being the grinch, I
• 2:39
  should have worn that sweater, right, But yeah, I think we've had
• 2:44
  three games in a row now where there was a consistency that we hadn't had
• 2:49
  in other games. So hopefully we are building on that. I thought Aubrey
• 2:53
  gave us good minutes. Again, I thought, Nico, who's really under
• 2:58
  the weather? Yeah, I wondered about that. Even warm up she looked
• 3:01
  a little Yeah, well she didn't come out that with them the second time
• 3:05
  they came out, or actually the twenty minute warm up, she wasn't available,
• 3:09
  so and then she left the bench not feeling well. So let her
• 3:14
  play. Yeah, but she knocked in, you know, I thought for
• 3:19
  someone being under the weather, you would have known unless you pay a lot
• 3:22
  of attention. So but she gave us good minutes everybody. I thought,
• 3:24
  you know, Q came in at the end of the half and right off
• 3:28
  the bench knocks into three. That puts a little more separation going into halftime.
• 3:31
  So that was key. Just an overall a good game against it.
• 3:36
  And they're tough to play even when you're up, like you know, we
• 3:38
  were up by thirty, it didn't feel like thirty just because of how many
• 3:42
  threes they can make. He does a really good job and they play a
• 3:46
  style similar to some of the other Biggiest teams. But you know they will
• 3:51
  play five out at times and you really have to be aware and make some
• 3:55
  decisions. Give up twos, give up threes, what do you want to
• 3:58
  do? So I thought we handled that pretty well. Chris. Over the
• 4:01
  first twenty minutes, you mentioned Aubrey off the bench and Q. You got
• 4:05
  seven for seven off the bench in the first half. Between Aubrey's four,
• 4:10
  I gave you two hoops. I coached them today you did no, no,
• 4:16
  yeah, but productive bench you got well. And when you can have
• 4:19
  that, I think that's the one thing when you talk about consistency, and
• 4:21
  we talk about this with our players all the time. As a coaching staff,
• 4:26
  we need to know what we're going to get every day. And that
• 4:29
  doesn't always mean that you know you're going to make every shot, but we
• 4:31
  have to know from a consistency factor in practice what we're going to get,
• 4:35
  and then games what are we going to get? And then if you don't
• 4:39
  have it that night, what are you still going to bring that's going to
• 4:42
  help our team, whether it's rebounding, defense, steals, you know,
• 4:45
  running in transition, whatever it is. There has to be a sense that
• 4:47
  from the coaching staff and your teammates that they know, this is what Aubrey
• 4:53
  brings every game, this is what Ash brings, this is what Q brings.
• 4:56
  And I think and that's you know, that's why you play the preseason
• 4:59
  schedule, That's why you know you play these games and you give players opportunities
• 5:02
  to show you every day what they're going to bring. And the last three
• 5:06
  games with that too, I think we've been a little more consistent. Chris,
• 5:10
  You've got Toronto Metropolitan on Wednesday. What can you tell us about this
• 5:14
  group? I didn't scat them someone else did, just it's more of an
• 5:20
  exhibition and the purpose of the game originally was to and it still is,
• 5:26
  to bring Aaliyah back home. Right. We had it scheduled against Pitt they
• 5:29
  had a coaching change and the contract hadn't been signed, so we ended up
• 5:33
  having to find somebody to play, and this team was happy to do it.
• 5:39
  The game is sold out thirty five hundred people. It's been sold out
• 5:42
  for months, I think, and it's just a nice way to bring a
• 5:46
  Leah home. You know, we're not gonna do much tomorrow because it's again
• 5:50
  we've had two games and I don't do scheduling either. I don't do much
• 5:57
  do I don't believe that. I don't believe that for but it'll be nice
• 6:00
  for Alita to get a chance to go home. We're going to go up
• 6:03
  tomorrow and I'm gonna have dinner and Keya nurse is going to join us,
• 6:09
  so that's nice. She can't come to the game because she's doing the Raptors
• 6:11
  game, but so it's going to be a nice trip for Lee and that's
• 6:14
  really what we're doing it for. Yeah, do you know coach was it?
• 6:17
  Coach Clark Carley Clark, the head coach. She I know Alia played
• 6:23
  for her, right, Oh okay, yes, actually she did, yeah,
• 6:26
  for the for their Olympic like the Olympic team. And I think the
• 6:30
  Global Jam that Elliot's well last year part of that. Yeah, that made
• 6:34
  up tournament that they run so they can win it. That's what I tell
• 6:39
  her, that it's a made up tournament. No one's ever heard of it
• 6:43
  until now. Well yeah, well she said she thinks that they beat the
• 6:46
  USA two years ago, but it was VCU that they beat. Got three
• 6:50
  initials, but they're wrong. That's the tournament. And then this year was
• 6:54
  Louisville. Yeah, that's right, because Jeff and I had more than three
• 6:57
  initials, so that's why they couldn't say it was anyway. I like to
• 7:00
  tease her, but we're happy to go up and uh, you know,
• 7:04
  from there everybody will get a chance to go home, which will also be
• 7:06
  nice. Right, all right, one more to go before loud Chris,
• 7:11
  thank you, And you know, very elegant. It's like it's like it's
• 7:15
  like a Christmas party, very festive and elegant. But that's you though.
• 7:20
  You're not you're not the ugly, You're not the ugly Christmas, that's for
• 7:25
  sure. All right, well, thank you, all right,
