• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the freshmen are Neelie Guesser, who's twin sisters also on

  Speaker 3: of these teams to get to get a lot better
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: in our league. You know, we need them to get good.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: That that's important. I think when you look at you
• 2:14

• 2:17
  Speaker 3: what we used to have, and you look at the
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Big East now, Hey, when you look at the Big
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: East now, you know, on the women's side, on the
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: men's side, you know, on the women's side, we have
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: one team in the top twenty five. On the men's side,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: we have two teams in the top twenty five. You know,
