Seg 6 - MBB Show w Alex Karaban Feb 13 · Coaches Corner

• 0:00
  Or back with Alex Caravan Mike Crispino here on the Yukon Men's Basketball Coaches Show,
• 0:04
  just a couple more minutes with him, De Paul and Marquette. This
• 0:08
  week, he got a roadie in Chicago late start and then an afternoon game
• 0:12
  against Marquette. Let's start with the Blue Demons having a rough year. You
• 0:16
  play a team that's struggling. What's your mindset when you walk out there on
• 0:20
  Wednesday night? Play the Yukon standard. It doesn't matter who we're playing against.
• 0:25
  We got to get better every game, and you know, we're gonna
• 0:28
  learn from our mistakes that we did against Georgetown and implemented against the Paul and
• 0:33
  really just try to take every day, every practice, in every game,
• 0:36
  you know, just to continue to get better for you know, our ultimate
• 0:39
  goal, which is winning championships. So really taking no games off and just
• 0:43
  playing to the Yukon standard that the coaches want. What did Dan say that
• 0:47
  he didn't like about the Georgetown game. I'm curious because it was a route
• 0:51
  you guys led the whole way on the road. Yeah, he just didn't
• 0:55
  like how we just dropped off in our competitive nature. We played the score,
• 1:00
  we played down to the level that jeorgean I was playing at, and
• 1:03
  we weren't. You know, we were just cruising through the second half.
• 1:06
  We weren't playing with any intensity, we weren't playing with any fire, and
• 1:10
  you know it. It was just awful to watch. And you know,
• 1:14
  he was mad from it, understandably because you know, you work so hard
• 1:18
  and we practiced so hard, and that there shouldn't be a second half where
• 1:21
  we're just, you know, downplaying to the competition. Yeah, I think
• 1:23
  that's that's good. That sound judgment and certain reasoning. I asked Dan this,
• 1:30
  I'm gonna ask you. This team's won twelve in a row. You're
• 1:33
  on a major streak here. Superstitions. Do you have any coming into a
• 1:38
  game where you've won twelve games in a row? Yeah, I'm very superstitious
• 1:42
  to where I usually try to stay by the same routine every time. I
• 1:48
  don't know if that's superstitious or routine, but I really try to lock in
• 1:51
  on the same routine and then all socks. I've been biging the socks recently
• 1:56
  with the games. If I play well, but try to wear the same
• 1:59
  socks and remember where I put it on our loop when we get ready for
• 2:02
  the game. So I say socks for me. That's hard to do,
• 2:07
  man, you got all kinds of pairs of socks. How do you find
• 2:09
  it? You got to put a little mark by the ones you like.
• 2:13
  That's what I do. When the sockholder, I put my shorts as close
• 2:17
  to the sockholder as possible, knowing that those are the socks. Okay,
• 2:22
  wow, that's good thinking. I like it, all right, Alex,
• 2:24
  appreciate Let's keep it going. Thirteen's not an unlucky number. Let's get to
• 2:30
  thirteen and then we'll worry about fourteen on the weekend against Markat Definitely that's the
• 2:35
  goal, all right, Alex Caravan, we appreciate it, and Dan Hurley
• 2:38
  as well, and we appreciate you listening to us here on the Yukon Men's
