Welcome to Justin Gard. He's nestling in 7 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 2: over here. The head coaches here as well. In a 8 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 2: good crowd on hand. Give yourselves a round of a clause. Here. 9 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 3: We're at Buffalo Wild. 10 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 2: Wings on campus right next door to Williams Arena. 11 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 3: Gophers were off over the weekend. 12 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 2: Obviously got the big win last week over the number 13 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 2: nineteen Indiana Hoosiers, a court storming at the end. It 14 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 2: was a pretty exciting way to get your first big 15 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 2: ten victory. Man, Yeah, I was a heck of a game. 16 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 4: It was really fun to see the crowd and the 17 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 4: students really get into the game, especially in the second half, 18 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 4: and how the students have fun and rush the court. 19 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 3: It said, it doesn't get much better than that. 20 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 2: What was you know last week when we were here, 21 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 2: you know, it wasn't it, It wasn't it was a 22 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 2: down or because of the news, the injury news. Your 23 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 2: point guard was out, your starting center was still going 24 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,559 Speaker 2: to be a little while, it sounded like, and others 25 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 2: hadn't even played yet that you were hoping to count on. 26 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 2: So I wasn't thinking it was hopeless to beat the 27 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 2: ranked team, but uh, it was. You're going to be 28 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 2: a big underdog, and here we are a week later, uh, 29 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 2: celebrating a nice win. So take me through the message 30 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 2: to that team, to your team, UH to get that 31 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: kind of an effort from them. 32 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 3: Well, I'll back up, and I think I told you before. 33 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 4: My guess is the security folks that Williams Arena didn't 34 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 4: have it on the Bingo card that the court storm 35 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 4: might happen, but they probably it was coming down the end. 36 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 4: You're like, oh my gosh, you know what I mean, 37 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 4: we got to be ready for this now, you know, 38 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 4: I don't you know, I'd love to come up here 39 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 4: and say there was some sort of magical, you know 40 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 4: thing that you said. I think you know you're you're 41 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 4: always honest with the guys, and you know, tell them 42 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 4: the things that we're going to have to do. These 43 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 4: are the things that are going to show up, and 44 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 4: you know, no one's going to feel sorry for you. 45 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 4: And obviously I thought they gave maximum effort. We did 46 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 4: the things that we needed to do to be successful. 47 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 4: We were able to build some confidence, I thought as 48 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 4: the game went on and a lot of guys stepped 49 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 4: up and played really, really well. I thought our defense 50 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 4: in the second half was tremendous. 51 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 5: So what that's where I wanted to go. You said 52 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 5: that last week, when when you're short handed, you're undermanned, 53 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 5: there's just non negotiables that have to be there. So 54 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 5: what were those for the Indian I'm sure they're general ones, 55 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 5: but the Indiana game specifically. 56 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 4: I think, you know, obviously, transition defense was was huge. 57 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 4: We have to control that. We have to get back. 58 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 4: We have to make them score in a half court rebounding. 59 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 4: It sounds so simple, but you know, we have to 60 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 4: a team that has that kind of firepower. You're giving 61 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 4: them second and third opportunities, you really aren't going to 62 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 4: have much of a chance. You know, then could we 63 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 4: find a way to get some second and third opportunities? 64 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 4: I thought we nailed both of those things. I thought 65 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 4: those things were really really good. You know, we talked 66 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 4: about obviously limiting Wilkerson and Devrez's threes. You know, if 67 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 4: those guys are just making them, but if they're shooting 68 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 4: fifteen threes between them, it's hard. And I thought we 69 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 4: really did a great job on those two guys who 70 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 4: really made it difficult for them to get clean looks 71 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 4: and score. 72 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 3: So I thought we nailed, you know, those three things. 73 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 4: Offensively, I thought we did a great job, you know, 74 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 4: being patient when we had I didn't run as much 75 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 4: as we normally would, just based on numbers. 76 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 3: The only thing I didn't think we did. 77 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 4: I thought we turned the ball over too much, you know, 78 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 4: and some critical situations that way. But those were the 79 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 4: things that happened to and then maybe bigger than any 80 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 4: of them, we had to be the scrappy or tougher team. 81 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 4: I mean, we had to find a way where we 82 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 4: weren't going to be able to look at the end 83 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 4: of the game, regardless of the score and say, hey, 84 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 4: you know, that team just outfought us. 85 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 3: And so we did those things. The guys bought in. 86 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 4: We sort of stayed out of foul trouble, not necessarily, 87 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 4: but again, I thought we nailed those things, and then 88 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 4: we got some confidence going. I thought the crowd actually 89 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 4: really helped us in the second half, maybe gave us 90 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 4: another boost and got a huge win. 91 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 5: Was there a time where you said, we're doing all 92 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 5: these things now it seemed like the thought, well, now 93 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 5: it's time to take the game. 94 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 3: The guys hit a couple of shots. 95 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 5: I think about the Dirkin shot where the ball just 96 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 5: barely got by whoever, I think it was Deviris snuck around. 97 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 5: It's like when that one goes down, it's like, all right, 98 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 5: I can see the runway, I can see we can 99 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 5: land this thing. Was there a point in the game 100 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 5: where you start thinking, all right, let's bring this one home. 101 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I started to feel that. I really felt, 102 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 4: you know, going into halftime. We made that run at 103 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 4: the end of the first half, I'm like, okay, we're 104 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 4: right here, like you know, we can continue to do. 105 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 4: Like I said, nothing that happened in the first twenty 106 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 4: minutes of the game has anything to do with what's 107 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 4: going to happen in the next twenty you know, ten 108 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 4: minutes to go. Everything that happened in the first thirty 109 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 4: has nothing to do with what's about to happen in 110 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 4: the next ten. But we put ourselves in position and 111 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 4: so I think the guys just start you could feel 112 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 4: that there was a confidence in what we were doing 113 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 4: and we were playing the right way, and like, yeah, 114 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 4: that was kind of palpable, I thought in the in 115 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 4: the huddles. 116 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 2: And as those guys started to gain belief, the defense 117 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 2: continue to get stops. And I want to ask specific 118 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 2: about Langston Reynolds. 119 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 3: You're talking about Darren. 120 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 2: Deris era, Darren Devrees's Tucker, who's two time Valley Player 121 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 2: of the Year. And when you're Valley Player of the Year, 122 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: you've got, you know, potential NBA future in your hands. 123 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 2: And he's a tall kid that can shoot, rebound and 124 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 2: do things. What did Langston Reynolds do to force him 125 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 2: into a three for thirteen shooting night. 126 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 4: Well, I think you know, you start simple and you say, okay, 127 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 4: what's one thing that we have to try to take 128 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 4: away from him? And that was obviously the catch and 129 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 4: shoot threes. You know, we couldn't allow him to shoot 130 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 4: threes because he's such a dangerou shooter, especially early he's 131 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 4: he's one go in and you got a real problem 132 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 4: on your hands. And so we did a great job. 133 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 4: We had to do some switching at the point of attack. 134 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 4: They do some pretty kind of creative screening stuff and 135 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 4: we decided to kind of you know, we call him 136 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 4: steer steer and switch some of these actions. But with 137 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 4: him in particular, it was, you know, got to go 138 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 4: over the top, you know, you got to get into 139 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 4: the ball. You have to try to pressure him. You know, 140 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 4: we had he was a smaller guy. We had to 141 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 4: try to pressure him. We did, you know, elected to 142 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 4: play one on one in the post. Again, him making 143 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 4: two's was not as what we were concerned about. It 144 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 4: was making threes, and so I thought we nailed that. 145 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 4: I thought we were on point. We got over the 146 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 4: top of handoffs, ball screens, switched when we needed to 147 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 4: got into him. We were there on the catch the 148 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 4: entire night, and I thought we really frustrated him. You know, 149 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 4: the two threes he made. One was an offensive rebound. 150 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 4: They didn't have many kickout which are hard. And then 151 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 4: you know, out of a time out, we adjusted and 152 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 4: it's a little defensive set we do out of an 153 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 4: ato and man, we had it covered. And Kate Tyson 154 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 4: would be the first one to tell you if he 155 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 4: walked in here, he just went brain dead there for 156 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 4: a second, and he'd if I asked him at practice 157 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 4: to day what happened there's he just said, He's like, man, coach, 158 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 4: I'm I just I just lost my mind there. 159 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,239 Speaker 3: For a second play coaching. 160 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, Well he has an excuse, I guess, but but 161 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 4: that was it, you know. 162 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 3: Other than that, I thought we did a great job. Yeah, 163 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 3: And I think you're right. 164 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 2: It looked to me like he was taking on some frustration, 165 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 2: and you know, you don't want to show that. 166 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 3: But he he I. 167 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 2: Thought Langston was physical with him, yeah, and bumping him 168 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 2: and in big ten play, you can do that. 169 00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 3: They're not going to call that. 170 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 2: And then even maybe there was one or two other 171 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 2: open ones that he missed pretty badly, And I just 172 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 2: think it was one of those nights that I don't know. 173 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 2: I'm not going to say you got in the kid's 174 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 2: head because he's such a good player, but I thought 175 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 2: it was visibly he was frustrated. 176 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 4: It's really important when you play against great shooters or 177 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 4: scores to try to shut their water off early. You know, 178 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,239 Speaker 4: if you if you have a communication issues or whatever, 179 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 4: and they see one going early in the game or 180 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 4: a couple, then all of a sudden, all those tough 181 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 4: ones start to go in and you got a problem 182 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 4: on your hands. I mean, you see it at every level. 183 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 4: So I thought we did a good job, and we 184 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 4: did the same thing on Wilkerson. I mean, Wilkerson is 185 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 4: a dangerous player. We probably let him get behind us 186 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 4: a couple times, you know, too many times on some 187 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 4: of the back cuts. But at the end of the day, 188 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 4: we weren't allowing him to shoot threes and that's what 189 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 4: they do best. 190 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 2: Was it also kind of fun to see a team 191 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 2: if they were seventy eight percent free throw shooting and 192 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 2: they started the second half three for ten. 193 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I wonder if people are asking them if they 194 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 4: did they practice throw Yeah. Yeah, Well I wonder if 195 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 4: that's a topic converse. I mean, guys, you Jan Fisher's 196 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 4: bringing up for Suah. You know, I'm pretty sure I 197 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 4: know their team. They're not that concerned. They're a great 198 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 4: free throw shooting team. It just happened, you know, to 199 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 4: be that. But I will say this, you know, it's different. 200 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 4: They had played from the lead in most of your games. 201 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 4: For sure, when you're playing from behind a little bit 202 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 4: and you step up there and it's like for the 203 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 4: first time, you know, on the road, boy, these are 204 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 4: huge free throws now, right, man, we missed the front 205 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 4: end of a one on one here. We miss these 206 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 4: like we really need to cash in here. It's a 207 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 4: different feeling. 208 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 5: On a scale from zero to PJ Fleck, how would 209 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 5: you rate your go go first scream into the camera 210 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 5: after your Andy Katz interview? 211 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 3: Well, PJ is like like an eleven or twelve? Right, that's. 212 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so zero to PJ. Yeah, God, I'm gonna 213 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 4: say it. Let's just say PJ is a ten, but 214 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 4: it's not a normal ten. Right, what'd you think? 215 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 3: Seven? Yeah, I give you a seven. Yeah, you know 216 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 3: what I mean. I would give you a normal people. 217 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,359 Speaker 3: It was decent, I think, but like you really stand. 218 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 5: Your first step was quick because I didn't see it coming. 219 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 5: I didn't see it coming from that you were going 220 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 5: to go, right, Andy, go go first as loud as 221 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 5: you possibly could. So, but that's what sports is about, right. 222 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 5: You gotta have fun, like. 223 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 4: You gotta have fun, And I love One of my 224 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 4: favorite things is I love these fans everywhere to month. 225 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 3: Oh, I can't believe, you know, students storm the court 226 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 3: for this game. 227 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 4: Or they try to like tell you what they think 228 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 4: is the right, there's very strict rules, okay by some people. 229 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 4: You know how ridiculous that is in my opinion, Like, 230 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 4: at the end of the day, isn't it about having fun? 231 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 4: Should be he wants students to have fun. I don't 232 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 4: care if they rush the court every game, you know 233 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 4: what I mean. And I remember during COVID at Colorado 234 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 4: State we came off of COVID. 235 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 3: Fans couldn't go to the games. We had an unbelievable year. 236 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 4: We were ranked and whatever we were at, I don't 237 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 4: think we lost at home and our students would. We 238 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 4: got to this point where this tradition the students came 239 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 4: on the court, rushed the court after even games were 240 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 4: favored in and people would ask the question It's like, oh, okay, 241 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 4: we beat Air Force at home or whatever, and they 242 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 4: came up.

You mentioned it, 275 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 2: I thought it was. It became a factor in that 276 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 2: second half when when all of a sudden it was like, geez, 277 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 2: get a stop here, Oh man, get a stop here. 278 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 2: Every time Indiana was bringing the ball up, people were 279 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 2: on their feet. 280 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.

And I definitely thought 286 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 4: they were a factor there right at the end of 287 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 4: the first half and definitely in the second half. 288 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 2: From that standpoint, we should mention Gopher sports dot com 289 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 2: for future home games.

So the trio of Turner, Grove and Shinholster. 475 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 5: My math is always is always kind of shaky as 476 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 5: everybody knows, all right, one point five rebounds, eight fouls, 477 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 5: only one turnover, but twenty one I think massive minutes, right, 478 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 5: I mean that play right there is that that's a 479 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 5: game changing place certainly gets the crowd going, Like so 480 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 5: you might look at the boxer and go, well, they 481 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 5: kind of found some minutes for these guys, but you 482 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 5: needed those minutes from all those guys and turners were 483 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 5: you know, I thought, like funny because he's just all 484 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 5: over the place and you know, making himself known. But 485 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 5: how big were those three guys that we're probably not 486 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 5: going to talk a ton about, but gave you good. 487 00:20:58,840 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 3: Spot minutes there. 488 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 4: Every single second you know, they were out there in 489 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 4: that game, and so that every play is big, every 490 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 4: minute that those guys can be out there. And we 491 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 4: always talk about like sometimes it's not just winning, it's 492 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 4: it's eliminating losing, you know what I mean? Sound, you know, 493 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 4: taking care of the ball, being sound defensively, finding a 494 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 4: way to come up with the rebound, a great play, 495 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 4: and yeah, when Big Nemo checked in the game, a 496 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 4: lot happened. He had the one block, But I don't know, 497 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 4: I don't know if he's still fouling right, you know now, 498 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 4: but but but again, we needed those minutes. 499 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 5: When your nickname is Big Nemo, that's probably worth two 500 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 5: fouls right there. You probably want to switch to the 501 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 5: nickname because the arrests are going Big nemos in get. 502 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 3: The whistle ready. 503 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 4: He really needs to continue to work on showing his 504 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 4: hands more because man, there's going to be a collision 505 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 4: in there, and a lot of times it just looks 506 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 4: like a foul. 507 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, tell us his story a little bit. Central Arkansas 508 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 2: transfer finished that you're really strong for them. Last year, 509 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 2: I think he had a thirty seven point game, maybe 510 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 2: was in a conference tournament game. 511 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, its his story. 512 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, a young player just you know, continuing 513 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,959 Speaker 4: to grow and get into shape. I think I think 514 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 4: the defensive end has been more of a challenge for 515 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 4: him than the offensive end, you know right now, but 516 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 4: you know, just really trying to trying to find his 517 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 4: way and he's got good hands, good instincts that way. 518 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 4: I think it's just letting the games slow down for 519 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 4: him and getting an elite shape so he can you know, 520 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 4: play for longer periods. 521 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 3: Of time, you know, multiple actions, those kinds of things. 522 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 4: But again, he's only a sophomore and he just played 523 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 4: at the end of last year, and so he's just 524 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 4: got to get like all these guys just got to 525 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 4: continue to get better every day. 526 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, and as you mentioned with his body, when you 527 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 2: get into big ten play, his role might be going 528 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,479 Speaker 2: for four minutes and bang around and if you get 529 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 2: four files, so what. 530 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, there might be some of that might even be 531 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 3: as early as Wednesday. 532 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 2: Right. 533 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 4: It's with a size and physicality that these teams, especially 534 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 4: being without Rob and you know some of these other guys. 535 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 4: But but yeah, again, I would say when opportunity comes, 536 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 4: it's too late to prepare, and so you got to 537 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 4: keep preparing every day that you never know when your 538 00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 4: number is going to get called, and when your number 539 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 4: it's called, you got to be ready. 540 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 3: To produce human nature being what it is. 541 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 5: How much does a win like last week help just 542 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 5: the overall belief, Like you sat here a week ago 543 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 5: and talked about all the things that needed to happen, 544 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 5: and some teams are going to buy in, some teams aren't. 545 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 5: But when they have that proof and that evidence, how 546 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 5: much does that help just moving forward? 547 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 3: I think it's big. 548 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 4: I think it's big for the guys and I'm just 549 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 4: so happy for them, right for them to feel that, 550 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 4: to put as much as they did into it and 551 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 4: go through the adversity that they did to have the 552 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 4: success and be out on the floor when the students 553 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 4: rush in the floorts. 554 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 3: That's awesome stuff. 555 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 4: And I think hopefully it just continues to create buy in, 556 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 4: you know, for what we're doing when we demand a 557 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 4: lot from them. Here's why you know it can it 558 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 4: can work if we stay with it. And so I 559 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 4: think it's massive and we got to continue to do 560 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 4: that here. 561 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 2: And as you now formulate I know the plan and 562 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 2: moving forward with its still at least for a while 563 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 2: a short bench. How do you how do you, you know, 564 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 2: as a coaching staff, discuss how you want to play 565 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,479 Speaker 2: and how do you try to keep guys fresh? I mean, 566 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,959 Speaker 2: do you change practice routine the do you guys use 567 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 2: the catapult system too? To know how how much mileage 568 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 2: your guys have on a particular week. 569 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 4: Man, there's no you know, there's no playbook for that. 570 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 4: I think some of it's a feel thing. Obviously, practices 571 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 4: are already different, just in the sense of we have 572 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 4: short on numbers, we can't really do five on five 573 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,479 Speaker 4: stuff live, so we've had to change that. You're right, 574 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 4: you have a lot of guys playing major, major minutes. 575 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 4: You still have to practice and get better. I think 576 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 4: it's just shorter periods of time trying to be creative 577 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 4: and how you do your your your drill work. You know, 578 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 4: maybe doing some things at a high tempo where you 579 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 4: know guys aren't going to get hurt almost not five 580 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 4: on zero, but you know pseudo, you know, dummy defense, 581 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,360 Speaker 4: you know, so to speak, and you know as you're 582 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 4: guarding to how do you just you just have to 583 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 4: get really really creative. 584 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 3: And but again you have to practice. 585 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 4: And like I said the other night, I mean, yeah, 586 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 4: we're shorthanded, so we can't commit silly foules, but we 587 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 4: definitely can't go out there these games say well, you 588 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 4: know what, guys like, we're short handed, so let's not 589 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 4: try as hard right now. Let's just kind of coast 590 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 4: for a little bit and kind of get out of 591 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 4: the way and then hope it works out. So you know, 592 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,479 Speaker 4: you've got to still play with physicality, and you've got 593 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 4: to play hard, and you've got to do it with 594 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 4: eliminating silly files. And like the other night we did 595 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 4: get into file. We had a couple of legal screen 596 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 4: calls on that went our way.

I don't anticipate we'll have anybody new 619 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 4: for Purdue, you know, it'll be the same thing and 620 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 4: we'll just kind of keep plugging away here and hopefully 621 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 4: at some point the news changes. 622 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 2: If you want to go five on five, what do 623 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 2: you have to use managers or how do you are 624 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 2: you just simply not? 625 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, you can. 626 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 4: I mean you can put coaches out there. I mean 627 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 4: it's just this kind of wonky rules a little bit. 628 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 4: But now I mean a lot of four on four, 629 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,959 Speaker 4: three on three. If we're going five on five, it's 630 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 4: just kind of more of like almost walk through scenarios, 631 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 4: so to speak, and just is what it is, you know. 632 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 13: What I mean. 633 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,439 Speaker 3: So you control what you can control. 634 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 5: Isaac Osama was seven rebounds, only two turnovers in thirty 635 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,239 Speaker 5: nine minutes and obviously lots on his shoulders too. 636 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 3: He was bringing the ball up a bunch. 637 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 5: But I just look at the rebounding numbers for him, 638 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 5: guy like Tyson, like it's really going to take everybody 639 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 5: to go hit the glass. It's probably more than he's 640 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 5: ever thought about rebounding in his whole life as a guard. 641 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 3: And he's good at it. 642 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 15: You know. 643 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 4: It's one thing I saw right away, Like Isaac's got 644 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 4: a real nose for the he can go get it 645 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 4: on the offensive glass. He can you know, good nose 646 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 4: on the defensive boards. I think, you know, I think 647 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 4: a lot of players will. I think Isaac as much 648 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 4: as anyone, is going to really really grow through this 649 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 4: this year, you know, having to play all these minutes 650 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 4: and be you know, put in that situation where a 651 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 4: lot's going to be demanded from him. He's a sophomore. 652 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 4: I think he's got an unbelievably bright feature. And I 653 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 4: thought these last couple of games, I thought he's really 654 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 4: stepped up, and I thought he was terrific against Indiana 655 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,719 Speaker 4: and so huge step forward for him. And he's got 656 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 4: to do all that he's gonna have to defend. I mean, 657 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 4: you know, if you've watched Perdue play, I mean Braden Smith, 658 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 4: butcher Lherman, these guys are as good as there are 659 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 4: in the country. You're gonna have to rebound, You're gonna 660 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 4: have to run the show for thirty nine minutes. You're 661 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 4: gonna have to knock down big shots. You're gonna have 662 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 4: to get the team organized. But it takes what it takes. 663 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 4: That's how you get better. And hitting some big shots, right, 664 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 4: there were some timely threes there. Dirkin had a couple, uh, 665 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 4: Crocker Johnson had won and Isaac had won in that 666 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 4: second half. 667 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 2: I think it was what three threes in a in 668 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 2: a pretty quick span that all of a sudden the 669 00:27:59,280 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 2: lead got. 670 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 3: To Yeah, it was. 671 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 4: It was fun and sometimes, man, we can make this 672 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 4: pretty complicated, but it's a lot easier game when shots 673 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 4: go in, right, Yeah, you know, it's just an easier game. 674 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 4: And and some of that's the defense and kind of 675 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 4: what you're creating. But man, uh, those guys got open. 676 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 4: And yeah, that stretch right there where we knock those down, 677 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 4: we're huge. And the three you said where you know, 678 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 4: Bobby Dirkin kind of read that little pin down out 679 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 4: of our motion and h Tucker kind of decided to 680 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 4: try to cheat up the middle and he read it 681 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 4: and we made a great read and he and he 682 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 4: and he nailed that three. Those are those are huge shots. 683 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 5: So that's just running motion, right, that's not Nico Medved 684 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 5: stopping everybody and calling the play. 685 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 15: Now. 686 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 3: That has to be like for a coach, exceedingly rewarding. 687 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, in that moment to see just everything you've worked 688 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 5: on since you've got here, Come, Come, into play in 689 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 5: that huge, huge spot. 690 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 4: It was again, that was just a read what our 691 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 4: guys do, just playing out of our We call it 692 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 4: gold here and called it green at CSU. So took 693 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 4: me a second, right now, this is gold right, very complicated, 694 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 4: very and there's a lot going on there and I 695 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 4: think a lot of times it takes a lot of 696 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 4: patience to kind of coach and teach the way we 697 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 4: want to because sometimes it can be messy. Early it's 698 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 4: sures you to just run set plays all the time, 699 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 4: but I think there's a lot bigger ceiling, you know 700 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 4: what I mean, And there's a lot of randomness and 701 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 4: guys too it so it takes time. So you're right, 702 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 4: like plays like that when guys can just create looks 703 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 4: for each other, you know, and finding guy's strengths, weaknesses, 704 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 4: you know what you do. 705 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 3: That that was I agree, that was. 706 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 4: That was a cool moment there, and you know, for 707 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 4: Dirt to find that shot and set a great screen 708 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 4: and the guy read the screen the way that they did, 709 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 4: that was pretty cool. 710 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 2: You in your offense too, I've noticed you put a 711 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 2: lot on the bigs at the top. There's a there's 712 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 2: some decision making for them take us through kind of 713 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 2: the thinking behind that and why that has been working 714 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 2: for you, you. 715 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 3: Know, throughout the years. 716 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 4: I just again, it's kind of there's a lot of 717 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 4: we can talk about this for for hours or whatever, 718 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 4: pot but just the way the system I like to 719 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 4: play is morphed through so many, you know, decades of 720 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 4: coaching and learning and terminology that's kind of morphed into 721 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 4: into my own. But yeah, there's a lot of decision making, 722 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 4: you know, on the bigs, and you know, have to 723 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 4: know what actions to play to, how to get to it, 724 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 4: how to read it, you know, but everybody's involved. But yeah, 725 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 4: the bigs have to have to be able to make 726 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 4: decisions and you know, when to look at this action, 727 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 4: when to go Ohio for us Ohio's play the other way, 728 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 4: you know. And so you'll see and you'll see terminology 729 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 4: that we have and those are just teaching points, you know, 730 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 4: that that we that we have. And again, my job is, 731 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 4: I believe, is not to teach them what to do, 732 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 4: but try to teach them how to think. And that 733 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 4: just takes time. But boy, when it comes together, it's 734 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 4: pretty fun.

We had some older guys and some 781 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 4: younger guys, and you know, we weren't gonna I thought 782 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 4: we should play I thought they were going to, but 783 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 4: we were about ready to kind of have that discussion 784 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 4: and then boom, you know what I mean, So you 785 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 4: were almost there. Yeah, the decision obviously got made for us, 786 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 4: got made for for everybody, and so boy, that's a 787 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 4: tough one. And I see kind of what's going on 788 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 4: right now in the bowl season, and I don't have 789 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 4: a good answer. I'm sure every school in a different situation. 790 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 4: The times just continue to change. The calendar is really 791 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 4: a challenge, maybe with the school having a coaching change, 792 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 4: so on and so forth. But unfortunately, I don't think 793 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 4: this is something that's going to go away because I 794 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 4: just the way the calendar is, right, I mean, you 795 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 4: look at it in some schools may just say, you 796 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 4: know what, whether they think it's above them, maybe they 797 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 4: just want to move on with recruiting and start to 798 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 4: focus on next year, you know, retaining their players the 799 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 4: portal opens or whatever they believe that's the most important 800 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 4: thing to them. I guess every school is going to 801 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 4: be in their own make their own decisions based on that. 802 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 4: But again, I think this opt out thing is going 803 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 4: to be real unfortunately, and in basketball too, it's going 804 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 4: to be interesting to see like the Crown for US 805 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 4: just started last year. I do know that most of 806 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 4: the teams who played in that they really enjoyed it. 807 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 4: They thought it was well run. What happens with the 808 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 4: NIT here? 809 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 3: Sure? 810 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 4: Is the n T really going to be It's not 811 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 4: the same as it used to be. Is there going 812 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,959 Speaker 4: to be a school that just misses out? Maybe they 813 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 4: want to go in the Crown, but maybe they look 814 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 4: at their roster and they say, boy, you. 815 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 3: Know this doesn't behoove us. We got to wait a 816 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 3: couple more weeks now. 817 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 4: In our particular case, the portal window I believe is 818 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,439 Speaker 4: not going to open until after the Final four, which 819 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 4: is great, right, I think that's good. But again, it's 820 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 4: maybe good for four teams. Is that good for do 821 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying it's good for everybody? 822 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 3: Else? Is maybe the season's been over for a month. 823 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 4: So I think a lot long winded answer as the 824 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 4: rules keep evolving with this, with transfer windows, coaching changes, 825 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 4: the way the postseason postseason has just completely changed in 826 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 4: football now, this is a new thing. It's honestly in 827 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 4: a lot of ways has changed in basketball too. So 828 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 4: I do think there will be some opt outs, But 829 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 4: I'm still kind of old fashioned that way. And my 830 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 4: thing is like, man, you only get to do this once, 831 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 4: you get to play. Let's go play, right, You know 832 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,320 Speaker 4: that That's my mindset, and so I hope that's what 833 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,360 Speaker 4: we evolve to and that more schools are going to 834 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 4: look at, hey, we need to go play. 835 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 5: By the way, it's the second time today you said 836 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 5: long winded answer. That's fine. We want yeah, we want 837 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 5: long winded answer. Right Yet, Grim and I talk enough, especially. 838 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 3: To each other. It's the Nico medved Show. So we're good. 839 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 3: Let's do it. Answers. Yeah, it's great. All right, good, 840 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 3: that's topic one. 841 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,320 Speaker 5: The other thing I'm gonna try to do is we 842 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,399 Speaker 5: go because you've talked a lot about your time here 843 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 5: as a manager, going back to the nineties and just 844 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 5: the legendary time for the Big Ten. As we go 845 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,800 Speaker 5: up to different opponents, I'm gonna ask you for like 846 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 5: a story about their coach or their team from what 847 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 5: you remember. And obviously Purdue if you're old enough to remember, 848 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 5: Geen Katie used to be the coach there. I remember 849 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 5: started covering basketball his last year and the Gophers beat 850 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 5: him pretty good here at the Barn and he said, 851 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 5: came up to the media room and said, well, if 852 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 5: all of them were like this thirty years ago, I 853 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 5: would have sold insurance back then. I would not be coaching. 854 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 5: But that's a character right there. Geen, Katie, I have 855 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 5: to imagine you have a Katie story or two. 856 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:51,839 Speaker 3: From your time. 857 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 4: Gene would never remember this, but I do. I remember 858 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,840 Speaker 4: Purdue was coming to play here, and I think Lenn Robinson, 859 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 4: you know whatever, and the big dog. 860 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,280 Speaker 3: Big dog for the kids, and I find Robinson the third. 861 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 4: Correct, the big dog, and the second yeah, second, yeah, 862 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,720 Speaker 4: And I remember their their flight or their charter was delayed. 863 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 4: There was snow and they couldn't get in, so they 864 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,320 Speaker 4: had a practice time at Williams Arena, but they couldn't 865 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 4: make it to the practice time. I can't remember if 866 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 4: the women had a gamer back and there. It was 867 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,320 Speaker 4: maybe volleyball or something was going to go on in 868 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 4: the barn, so they got in late that night. Well, 869 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,800 Speaker 4: I had to go up there and open up the 870 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 4: gym for him, and they got in late. And at 871 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 4: that point in time, it's the old Beerman which is 872 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 4: now that gym I believe is volleyball's practice facility or what. Yeah, wrestling. 873 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,879 Speaker 4: I've kind of looked it's all changed. And so that's 874 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 4: where they had to practice, and I remember they showed 875 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 4: up and they didn't even check in the hotel. They 876 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 4: came over there and they hadn't even watched film, and 877 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 4: so the assistant coaches took their team wherever to watch film. 878 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:55,839 Speaker 4: And it was just me and Jean on the court 879 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,000 Speaker 4: and I played horse with Gen Katie true story. I 880 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 4: don't even he's remembered. You ask me if I won, 881 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 4: and I don't. Here's what I'm gonna go. Yeah, here's 882 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 4: what I'm gonna go with. I'm gonna say because I 883 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 4: could shoot you know station, I'm gonna say that I 884 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 4: had the lead. It was like I don't want to 885 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 4: say I had maybe H and he had like R. 886 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 4: And then the team came out. So I was gonna 887 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 4: was gonna kind of like the Hopkins game the other night, 888 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 4: like Tartan had him on the ropes. Then they called 889 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 4: the game. Yeah, that's an awfair conversation. I need to 890 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 4: know what happened there. My first fall up is whose 891 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 4: idea was it to play horse? Like I can't imagine 892 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 4: you young Nico going, hey, Gene, you want to play horse. 893 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 4: I don't even remember. Gene was such a character, and 894 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 4: I see him and Clem were close. Sure they were together, 895 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 4: and so I don't know.

They are a machine on offense. They've 1035 00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 4: got obviously one of the best home courts in college basketball. Yeah, 1036 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 4: we've got our hands. We've got our hands full in 1037 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:12,920 Speaker 4: that game. But that's the Big Ten. They're you know, 1038 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,080 Speaker 4: number one for a reason. And my senses is though, 1039 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,480 Speaker 4: they will probably have a more spirited effort against the 1040 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,280 Speaker 4: Gophers Wednesday after what happened to them on Saturday. 1041 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean every game gets produced tough, obviously, but 1042 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 5: when you see that as a coach, do you do 1043 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:26,759 Speaker 5: it all of us too? 1044 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 3: And go, oh man? The practice is going to be 1045 00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 3: something for the boiler Makers. I would imagine. 1046 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 5: I didn't see much of the game, but obviously they 1047 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,320 Speaker 5: can't be thrilled that that was their last performance. 1048 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, it goes back to what I said. 1049 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,279 Speaker 4: I mean, we're all humans, right, you look at oh boy, 1050 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 4: you know, but listen, you can't control that you know 1051 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,080 Speaker 4: what I mean, you have no control over what the 1052 00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,480 Speaker 4: other team's approach is. The only thing you can do 1053 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 4: is control your team's approach. So listen, I don't care 1054 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:52,680 Speaker 4: what it is. You're going on the road to Purdue 1055 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 4: Big Ten games. 1056 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,640 Speaker 3: It's gonna be tough, right for anybody. So it is 1057 00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,400 Speaker 3: what it is. But you know, we've got to go 1058 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:00,600 Speaker 3: it on there and the same thing. 1059 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,440 Speaker 4: Figure out, here's some things that we need to do 1060 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:04,400 Speaker 4: to show up, and you just try to, you know, 1061 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,040 Speaker 4: win possessions right, just over and over again and see 1062 00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:08,600 Speaker 4: if you can find yourself in a ball game. 1063 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,680 Speaker 2: What makes Braden Smith so good? As you mentioned preseason 1064 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:12,960 Speaker 2: player of the year? I think was he player of 1065 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,680 Speaker 2: the Year last year or too at the end of 1066 00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,520 Speaker 2: the year. And he's got he's got those guys you know, 1067 00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:18,240 Speaker 2: near the top. 1068 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:18,520 Speaker 3: Of the heap. 1069 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,279 Speaker 4: Gosh, you know, just you know, watch him last year 1070 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,439 Speaker 4: and then watching him more right now. I mean, he's 1071 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:27,080 Speaker 4: obviously got elite feel and instincts. I mean, he plays 1072 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,920 Speaker 4: with a pace and a poise. He's an incredible passer. 1073 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,759 Speaker 4: I mean he just throws strikes, I mean behind the 1074 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,919 Speaker 4: back in transition, hitting the pocket pass, you know, hitting 1075 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,680 Speaker 4: the pole pass in the corner, the right hand, left hand. 1076 00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,799 Speaker 4: He's a lot more explosive and athletic than you think. 1077 00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 4: He can shoot threes off the dribble. He's just a 1078 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,400 Speaker 4: consummate point guard and playmaker. And you get two on 1079 00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,759 Speaker 4: the ball, he finds the open guy and he's just 1080 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,239 Speaker 4: it's kind of a throwback that way, you know, real 1081 00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:57,080 Speaker 4: real point guard. 1082 00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:58,880 Speaker 3: But you know he can score when he needs to to. 1083 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 4: And again you watch them, he is an impressive player 1084 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 4: and he's the one that makes that thing go. 1085 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,440 Speaker 5: Is there a template for how to be successful on 1086 00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:11,000 Speaker 5: the road, regardless of opponent that you found successful over 1087 00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:11,719 Speaker 5: the years, You. 1088 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,440 Speaker 4: Know, I'm always one like listen, you know there's a 1089 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 4: reason why, you know, home court is so big in 1090 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,440 Speaker 4: college basketball. But at the same point in time, I 1091 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,200 Speaker 4: think we can focus way too much on well, we're 1092 00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:23,759 Speaker 4: on the roads. Now, we got play different, you know 1093 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:27,360 Speaker 4: what I mean? The same whether wherever you're playing home, road, neutral, 1094 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,520 Speaker 4: the same things are required to be successful. You just 1095 00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:33,719 Speaker 4: have to I think I think it's the emotional piece 1096 00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,479 Speaker 4: of it, right. You got to understand when the crowd 1097 00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,080 Speaker 4: gets on you, they're on a run or whatever. How 1098 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,200 Speaker 4: can you lose that and just stay in the moment 1099 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,360 Speaker 4: and focus on the things that you need to decision making. 1100 00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,640 Speaker 4: You know, when do you push? You know, when do 1101 00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,920 Speaker 4: you take chances? You got to be aggressive, But at 1102 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:49,960 Speaker 4: the same point in time, you know understanding how to 1103 00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:53,560 Speaker 4: mitigate runs, you know, sure, and sometimes what happens to 1104 00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,359 Speaker 4: guys that you can kind of teams, you can kind 1105 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,279 Speaker 4: of lose your mind. You start getting out of your 1106 00:46:57,840 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 4: you know, very easy. You try to maybe hit your 1107 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,239 Speaker 4: other teams on a run. You try to hit a 1108 00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,320 Speaker 4: grand slam, yep, instead of just continuing to hit singles 1109 00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,359 Speaker 4: and do the right things and stay in the game 1110 00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,560 Speaker 4: and hang in there, because inevitably, I think basketball is 1111 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,120 Speaker 4: a game of runs. So you've got to be unbelievably 1112 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,480 Speaker 4: tough minded. You know, you've got to be played together, 1113 00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:16,359 Speaker 4: and a lot of times, man on the road, it's 1114 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,600 Speaker 4: just it's hitting those big shots or making a big 1115 00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,840 Speaker 4: play that just kind of stems the momentum right for 1116 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:23,560 Speaker 4: the home team. 1117 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:24,800 Speaker 3: And that's what you have to do. 1118 00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,400 Speaker 2: Your previous road test this year true road game was 1119 00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,080 Speaker 2: was down at Missouri and you guys were hanging in 1120 00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,239 Speaker 2: that leading the game early in the second half. Then 1121 00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,640 Speaker 2: they had that one stretch, right, Yeah, so what do 1122 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,040 Speaker 2: you take, if anything? Can you use that as a 1123 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,800 Speaker 2: data point and a learning experience heading into macki Arena? 1124 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:41,359 Speaker 3: I hope. 1125 00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,279 Speaker 4: So I think, you know, we won't go back to 1126 00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 4: the Missouri game and talk about it, but I think 1127 00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,320 Speaker 4: that now we've we've played you know, road neutral, and 1128 00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,400 Speaker 4: you know, hopefully you're in that situation again again. It's 1129 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,800 Speaker 4: just it's helping the guys understand how small the margins 1130 00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,600 Speaker 4: are and how everything matters. You know, you're in a 1131 00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:02,680 Speaker 4: close game and you're guarding Fletcher Lawyer coming off a screen. 1132 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,239 Speaker 4: You can't all of a sudden just decide in that 1133 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,920 Speaker 4: moment that, well, now I'm just going to kind of 1134 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,279 Speaker 4: cheat and go up the middle, you know what I mean, 1135 00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,520 Speaker 4: and give them the open three because inevitably that goes down, 1136 00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,040 Speaker 4: you know, and probably that maybe even happen to eye 1137 00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:17,279 Speaker 4: you here a little bit right. 1138 00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,000 Speaker 3: Way, he can't well he's going to hit it. 1139 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,040 Speaker 4: But I think it's just it's those things, you know, 1140 00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,319 Speaker 4: and sometimes you got to realize too, like you play 1141 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:27,759 Speaker 4: really good defense to do it right. 1142 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:29,880 Speaker 3: These are great players. They make tough shots. 1143 00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,640 Speaker 4: But then just because they make tough shots, you can't 1144 00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:34,920 Speaker 4: cave in and all of a sudden lose you know, 1145 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:36,719 Speaker 4: the things you have to do over and over and 1146 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,120 Speaker 4: over again for long periods of time. So hopefully those 1147 00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,560 Speaker 4: are the things that we're learning and we're growing that way, 1148 00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,480 Speaker 4: and just keep staying with the process that works. 1149 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,759 Speaker 3: All right, Well, very good, Good luck on Wednesday night. 1150 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:48,319 Speaker 3: Back to me.
