  And Chris Daly, who was so well Natalie attired. I like the blue
• 0:05
  suit. Thank you. Joined the court side after the Yukon win. Tonight's
• 0:08
  nice rebound from Sunday. Defense really was good tonight, much better, much
• 0:14
  better. You know. I think we got smacked pretty good on Sunday,
• 0:19
  and there's a lot of different ways you can respond to that, and I
• 0:22
  thought we responded well and played well tonight. What do you think the turnaround
• 0:27
  was in that second quarter? I think Page started taking over offensively. We
• 0:35
  were in good stuff and we just made plays and I thought Aubrey was amazing
• 0:40
  on the backboard, you know, creating opportunities, and we just took a
• 0:44
  lot of advantage. We took advantage of their mistakes because they turned the ball
• 0:47
  over some and just ran good stuff. Yeah, twenty nine points off turnovers.
• 0:52
  Tonight, Page, as you've mentioned, took over the game. It
• 0:55
  looked like that. The offense looked a little stagnant at times in the second
• 0:58
  but once that fileble for the break took place, everything changed, and obviously
• 1:03
  Paige was the catalyst. Well, you know, the first half, I
• 1:06
  thought we ran better offense, as you said, In the second half,
• 1:08
  I thought she made some really tremendous individual plays and took advantage of some well
• 1:15
  the sellers guarding her had thout trouble, you know, so we tried to
• 1:19
  attack her a little bit. So you know it, I don't know all
• 1:26
  came to We owed them one. You know, I think after last year
• 1:30
  going down there and without you know, most of our team being able to
• 1:34
  play, you know, it was just good to have a great win.
• 1:38
  The fans were terrific, the students were great, just really nice to be
• 1:41
  home. Yeah. I think Blue Lie Base was happy to see that turn
• 1:45
  around, a new Rebucker lobe. A couple of people were talking about,
• 1:48
  okay, let's get a little retribution for last year. Celebration that happened afterwards
• 1:53
  was a little yeah, you know, I mean, you have to play
• 1:57
  who you play. That's who we had. But you know, let's not
• 2:00
  mistake what we were missing either. But you know, credit to them right
• 2:06
  last year. Sorry, you gave you a good game Sunday one of the
• 2:10
  few bright spots Ashland was tremendous tonight. Yeah, and I think you're going
• 2:14
  to see that with younger players. I thought our young guys went in and
• 2:17
  gave us minutes so you know, it was Q's turn on Sunday to come
• 2:22
  in and give us a little spark, and today I thought Ashland did the
• 2:24
  same. As long as we're getting and I thought KK better in the second
• 2:29
  half than the first half. But you know you're going to get that with
• 2:31
  inexperience. And when you look at our team, we have a lot of
• 2:35
  guys that have not played, whether they're freshmen or you're talking about ice or
• 2:38
  even page from last year. So we have a lot of new pieces and
• 2:43
  trying to get it all together. And I thought there were spurts where we
• 2:46
  played really well together and then there were spurts where we were a little fragmented.
• 2:50
  And as you get further along, you have to have less of those
• 2:54
  moments where you're fragmented or a little disjointed and just keep playing. So it
• 2:59
  was a good stet in the right direction. Games seems physical, you know,
• 3:02
  not necessarily nailing on screens, but body's flying at different times. There's
• 3:08
  reason cause or what just no, it's I mean the game. Whoever said
• 3:13
  that basketball is a non contact sport never played. It's a physical game,
• 3:16
  and it's it's a contact sport and people try to impose their wills will on
• 3:22
  us and try to be more physical, and we have to handle that.
• 3:25
  And I can't say that we handled it great on Sunday. I thought we
• 3:29
  handled it better today. But I think that's what people if you're scouting us,
• 3:32
  I bet I think that's what people are. How people are going to
• 3:35
  want to try to play us, get us into those positions where they can
• 3:38
  get us disjointed and then have us start separating as opposed to playing together.
• 3:45
  Chris Asy seems to be in an okay place. Obviously, the team reacted
• 3:49
  well with the wind tonight, but when it happened, I mean, we've
• 3:52
  been so used it over the last three years. Are you hopeful with the
• 3:58
  You know, we're waiting just for her to get evaluated and see where things
• 4:01
  are. You know, I leave that up to the medical staff, right
• 4:04
  you. So hopefully you know we'll hear some news and one way or the
• 4:11
  other and then know you know, where she what we need to do and
• 4:13
  what she needs to do. But I think that's a few days off from
• 4:16
  now, right. Who's got the scout for Minnesota? Jamal Okay another Big
• 4:21
  ten opponent. Yeah, I wasn't even thinking that. I was just thinking
• 4:25
  going back to Minnesota where cold, well, it was beautiful here today.
• 4:29
  You know, Page thinks she goes to school in Florida compared to living in
• 4:31
  Minnesota. So well, the forecast, I mean, high is near fifty
• 4:35
  while we're there, and it's supposed to be sunny, so good. Could
• 4:39
  be a lot worse a week from now to be a lot warmer. It
• 4:43
  will where we go, it will. But I wonder if Page has ever
• 4:46
  actually played in the Barn. Oh she did. I still watch her in
• 4:48
  the state tournament game. Okay. I think she lost a bunch of them
• 4:53
  at the Barn before she won. She lost a couple of game state finals
• 4:58
  before she ended up winning them. Okay, but they play him there at
• 5:00
  the bar, Okay, Well that's good to know. So Page will actually
• 5:03
  get a home game, and it'll be a lot of fun. It will
• 5:06
  be. It will be all right, all right. Chris is always
