  Speaker 1: All right, before we get to the staff page, we
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: got Luke Murray. You kind of assisted as a Huskies
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: win eighty to seventy on the road here at Butler.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: A little bit of everything in this one, coach. You
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: win the rebounding battle, you get a lot of second
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: chance points, and you're able to knock it down from outside.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: It's always good to have the three point game going,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: and everyone got involved in that.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was great to see, you know, really impressed
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: with the way that so a low shot the ball
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: early in the game. It really was reminiscent of a
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: lot of his games last year when you really had
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: it going. So that was fun. I'm happy for him
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: to be as dialed in as he was. Braylan made
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: some big shots in the first half to get us
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: going as well, and then Silas made a couple of.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Late and you had to play without Alex Caravan for
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: twelve minutes in the first half. Brailan Mullens had to
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: sit down. I thought that you got some really good
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: contributions all the way down the roster when you needed them.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought so too, you know, I thought we
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: did a pretty good job of working through the foul
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: trouble with Ak, you know, that obviously makes things difficult
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: for us on both ends when he's out of the game.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I thought Jaden Ross played great defense when he was
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: in there and gave us a lyft knocking down a
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: big shot. Malachi did some good things. Eric was on
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: the offensive glass and in the first half, and then
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: you know, some of those other guys that we were
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: still in the game, guys like Arras and Solo really
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: stepped up along with Braylin.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: And halftime, you must have been talking about the pick
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: a roll game. They were getting the ball down deep
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: and scoring a lot, and that was getting annoying from
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: my perspective. I'm just curious what you guys talked about
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: at halftime.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we weren't doing a very good job
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: of that, you know, I think for us of some
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: of our game plan was to really try to take
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: away biz Jack and a Jaii and what resulted and
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: that was a lot of post traps, a lot of
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: double teams on a JII, and we weren't doing a
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: good enough job of taking away their big guys. Off
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: of those traps. Guys like Jones and Trey Or were
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: getting easy baskets they said a lot of these Spain backscreens,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: and I didn't think we handled those particularly well early
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: as well, So, you know, just one of those things
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: where we had to make some adjustments. In the second half.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: They started really trying to go at some matchups to
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: get fouls. You know, they tried to get Braylon a
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: third foul, They tried to get Alex a third foul
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: right away, So we had to kind of work through
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: that as well. They're you know, they're a good offensive
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: team and they have good schemes and so just kind
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: of had to grind it out.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: A second chance points that's always a big number if
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you can get the advantage there. Those are baskets you
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: don't always get, but you get them, like sixteen to
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: eight was a nice advantage tonight.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was nice. You know, I thought early in
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: the game we got some confidence from getting on the
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: offensive glass. Terras had a couple right away in the
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: first couple of minutes of the game. I think he
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: had three or four at halftime offensive rebounds. Braylin got
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: in there and got a couple of putbacks as well.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Eric got one. So it was nice to see us
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: get some second shots. But then we also shot the
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: ball really well. And you know, I think we had
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: three turnovers at the at the fifteen and a half
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: minute mark or whatever it was at the first media
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: time out and only turned it over five times after that.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: So made some changes in terms of some of our
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: decision making, and I thought it really helped us.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to say this was the last point.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I was going to make Assists to turnovers big, you know,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: a big story against Saint John's fifteen turnovers. Only eight
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: here tonight and twenty two assists. Now that's a ratio
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you can live.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: With for sure, you know. And like I said, I
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: think the three turnovers start were really disappointing. I thought
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: we were looser with the ball, but I thought buying
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: large for thirty five or thirty six minutest of the game,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: we did a good job of taking care of it.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: And our assist numbers should be hot, you know, with
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: kind of how we play, and they did some things
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: differently in the second half. But I thought we got
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: a lot of great shots, you know, like you mentioned
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: the threes, but also got some good shots around the rim.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Thought Terris gave us a great lift as well, you know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: just to be able to have the feel as the
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: passer as he does. You know, seven assists, made some
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: really great plays against postal teams, so it was great
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: to see.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, double double for him. They were double team in
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: him a lot. I mean, that's not easy for a
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: big guy. When you get people collapsing on you, you
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: gotta find somebody. Yeah, he did a good job.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: He did. You know, initially they were trapping him right
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: away as soon as he caught it, and then they
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: started trapping him on the dribble because they realized he
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: wasn't putting it down right away. And I thought he
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: made some really good passing decisions. He had two turnovers
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: of the three in the first couple of minutes of
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the game, and then played a really clean game from
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: there and on all right, coach, appreciate it. You got
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: a mic
