• 0:23
  Speaker 1: team yesterday. Down all right, that's enough of that. We
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: don't need any more of that. The Eagles, of course
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: won the NFC. I tried to find the video of
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: you and Kenner when she was on the roster, but yeah, yeah, I'm.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Sure although we did win, we did win.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: We beat the Patriots. How was a Jamella practice today?
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Was you? Humble?
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Very uh, very complimentary? Not like last week when she
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: was running around with her command. There's jersey on because
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: she's from Washington, d C. And so yeah, she and
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I am purpose to not wear my Egos jersey today
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: because I didn't want to rub it in. I'm that
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: kind of guy.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, sounds good.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, your team coming off the road Creighton.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Great to have a nice crowd, creating over eleven thousand.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: So your team play the Blue Jays on their Creating
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: for Cancer game, first time we've ever played in the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Chi Health Center, and you come away with an eleven
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: point went over a creating team, a veteran team. They
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: just kept coming at you and coming at you and
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: made things interesting in that second half.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean our defense was so good in the
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: first half.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I mean they scored nine first half.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, nineteen nineteen wow.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Second lowest number of the season for them and a half.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, so they're averaging what seventy eight eighty
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: points a game something like that, I forget what it was.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: But for us to hold them, you know, to that number,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: that's that's hard work because they moved so much without
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: the ball they have. They when they sub they put
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: five three point shooters out there. So it's hard for
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: us to play our big guys because they don't have
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: anybody to guard, you know, So it makes it a
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: little bit more difficult. If they just have guys that
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: shoot toos, that's fine, but when they put five three
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: point shooters out there. You know, it's it's a little
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: bit more difficult. But you know, we came out in
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: the second half, we got up twenty, and you know,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: I guess they were in a hurry to get back
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: and watch the football game too, because our defense wasn't
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: as good and our offense was better in the second half,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: but our defense wasn't quite as good, and and they
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: got hot a little bit, you know. So that's the
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: kind of team they are there. They've played together for
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: their four almost fifty year together, a lot of those
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: coming up. Yeah, they went to the Final eight three
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: years ago, and they're good. I can't understand why, you know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: they're not in the top twenty. But they're a really,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: really good team. And I don't I don't imagine that
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: they're gonna lose a game, and so we're gonna have
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: to beat them again when they come to our place
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: at the Excel Center.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Yep, that's actually a month from today. Uh. They had
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: no answers for Sarah. She was phenomenal.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, very few people do. I mean, she's just and
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter where we play or what the situation is.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: She just has a calmness about her. You know, she
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: stays level headed. She doesn't get too far ahead of
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: herself and things, you know, misshot or something bad doesn't
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: linger with her like with some other kids. She she's
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: just way way more mature as a player than then
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: you would think someone that age would be. So we're
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: very fortunate. Freshmen like that don't come along very often.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: No third time, third time, yes, third time, both player
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and Freshmen of the week.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I guess you're gonna start.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, yes, the logic is Paige will be Player
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: of the You're in the biggiest, But you gotta start
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: having some conversation about the freshman number twenty one on
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: your team as a potential player of the year in
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the well.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, I hope, but you know, I hope they tie.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: You know, I hope they both get it. You know,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: I think they make each other better.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that they do.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: You know, not that the people on the women's basketball
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: side are as smart as the guys on the men's side.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: When they have Patrick Ewing and Chris Mullen co players
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: of the year, you know that takes a little bit
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: of smarts on Dave Gabbett and Mike train Geese's part.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know that we have that. Who knows, but
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: let's hope that it comes down to that that those
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: two are the two in the running. And I think,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: even more importantly, I think it's gonna be hard for
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: them to keep Sarah off their own market team. Oh yeah,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if you go around and say, well,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: you know, there's nine other players if you take page
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: out of the picture. So yeah, there's nine other players
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: in the country that you would rather have instead of her,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I don't think so.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: And she also added what four blocks and five steals
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: for you on Saturday.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, she did it all.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she does. You know, she's not one of these
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: one dimensional kids that're like, oh, she's a good shooter,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: or hey, she's a good post player. I mean she
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: passes the ball, she rebounds the ball, she plays defense.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: She just does a little you know. She scores on drive,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: she scores on three, she scores in the post. She's
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: I mean the last player that we had like that
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: was Visa. That's the last player we had like that.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: And Visa wasn't like that till, you know, after her
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: freshman year, not doing her freshman year. So she's kind
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: of in kind of a space of her own right now.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is for sure.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I like the last play at the end of the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: third quarter. Now, yes, the end result the ball didn't
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: go in the basket, but Page for a great pass
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: that might have been the play of the year of
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: that ball went in the hoop.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there was a lot of disappointment that
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: it didn't go in. I think Sarah, I'm not sure
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: she realized how much time she had because she had
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: enough time to catch it. I mean it's point eight yep. Okay,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: if it was you know, point two or something, but
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: it was point eight and point eight, you have enough
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: time to catch it, boom, turn around and shoot it.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: So it was kind of rushed and but yeah, I
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: think that would have been one of the highlights of
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: the year for sure. Either way, that's two great players
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: connecting on what could have been pretty spectacular. And as
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: I said, that's why I think the two of them
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: make each other better. And I hope, I hope we
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: keep getting more of that, you know, when it's you know,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: crunch time in about a month.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: More, yes, yeah, well a month from today be playing
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: creating again. So forgetting at that time more with Gino,
