00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: winning streak into their big East opener tomorrow night, Senta

Speaker 2: Center the place to be for hoops. They take on

Speaker 2: Creighton six point thirty with the tip from around that,

9
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: let's go straight to the sourus. Welcome in the head

10
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 2: coach of the Xavier Musketeers. That would be Richard Patino, coach.

11
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: How are we doing tonight?

12
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 3: Doing great? Thanks driving me last.

13
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: You gotta good catch it up. Uh so you guys

14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: finish the non conference eight and three. I know you're

15
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 2: still a work in progress, but man, that pivot and

16
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: change that you guys you made with this group on

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: the fly in the Charleston Classic, it's got to be

18
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: pretty satisfying and encouraging.

19
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 3: I think it kind of, you know, obviously, a kind

20
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 3: of a soberinging loss for Santa Clara at home. Didn't

21
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 3: play well. They're a good team, but we played very

22
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: poorly and we had to kind of recalibrate everything, and

23
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: we came back played really really well versus I think

24
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 3: it was Old Dominion at home, and then we went

25
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 3: to Iowa and actually played well. Those four we lost.

26
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 3: There was some moments there was like, Okay, we may

27
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: have something here, came back, played really well versu. Old Dominion.

28
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: But I thought Charleston really really kind of energized us.

29
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 3: George is a very talented team. We really had the

30
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 3: game one. They made a tough shot right at the end,

31
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: and then played great for West Virginia. And it's just

32
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 3: been the momentum has been really good, and it's just

33
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 3: it's really attitude and effort. You know, we've got high

34
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 3: character guys in the locker room. They're working really hard

35
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: in practice, and it's it's cool to see just kind

36
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 3: of the confidence building.

37
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: I've noticed that I've heard your guys talk about being

38
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: connected on the core off the court. When you're dealing

39
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: with all new guys from all parts of the country.

40
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: That's not easy. That's not always the case.

41
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: No, And you know, it really starts with just the

42
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 3: type of people that you you know, it's hard to

43
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 3: even call it recruiting anymore, right, But I mean the

44
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 3: people that you bring in. And a really cool moment

45
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 3: last night, I had my radio show, but one of

46
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 3: our walk ons, Henry had as Jersey, retired and we

47
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: brought it up and just said, hey, if you can

48
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 3: make it, that would be great. And we had two

49
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 3: guys that had the previous engagement that everybody else went

50
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 3: to it, and it just shows you like they're a

51
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: very very tight knit group. You know, it's not always

52
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 3: the most important thing off the court. Sometimes that can

53
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 3: be a little bit overrated, but you certainly can feel

54
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 3: it with these guys. There's a respect level. You know,

55
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 3: the UC game, it's a lot for both teams. But

56
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 3: what it does do is it kind of brings you together.

57
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 3: Because that was kind of like the first moment where

58
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 3: you're you're fighting for xavior. So it was cool to

59
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 3: see your team.

60
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 2: A couple of numbers that pop off the page that

61
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: have to make you very happy. Your your team share

62
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: rate and protect rate is off the charts. I mean,

63
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: you guys share the ball, and man, they value the

64
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: possession of the ball, don't they.

65
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

66
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 3: I don't know if it changed, but this morning we

67
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: were number one in the country and assist a turnable

68
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 3: percentage on ken pum. So you're we're either one or

69
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 3: two in all those categories, which is great. I Mean

70
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 3: people kind of ask me about some coaches reach out

71
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 3: like what are you doing, and I'm like, honestly, I'm

72
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: playing guys who are fundamentally sound like I mean, we

73
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 3: do some passing drills, we do some you know, footwork

74
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 3: drill and everything like that, but it really is it's

75
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 3: contagious right now. You know our practices. Sometimes we overpass,

76
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: but they're all kind of trying to one up each

77
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 3: other with sharing the ball. The assist now some of it,

78
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 3: as you shoot a lot of jump shots, you're going

79
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 3: to get assisted baskets. But I just think when you're

80
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 3: playing like you play a team like you see a

81
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: four turnover. We come back to the next game versus

82
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 3: Missouri State, who's really really physical defensely you only have

83
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 3: six I mean for us, I mean, we're not necessarily

84
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: the most athletic team, but if we can just value

85
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 3: the ball like this, it's going to give us a chance.

86
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: You open Big East play tomorrow night at home against Creighton.

87
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 2: What are your impressions of the Blue Jays?

88
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting. I mean, they've always been kind

89
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 3: of a consistent player in this league, and they've got

90
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 3: to believe five returners from last year's team. Coach McDermott

91
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 3: does a terrific job. They just haven't really made shots.

92
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I hope to god they don't make shots tomorrow.

93
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 3: But it's always scary because they're continuing to move. The

94
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 3: ball they're facing is great. They play with pace offensively

95
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 3: on a make or a miss, So the shots are there,

96
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: they just haven't been falling. You know, they've played a

97
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 3: tough schedule in Nebraska's really difficult Kansas State. The first

98
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 3: half they didn't play well, but certainly played great in

99
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 3: this I can have. So we we know with our team,

100
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 3: like every game that we play, we're going to have

101
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 3: our hands full, especially in this twenty game Big East.

102
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 3: So you've got to guard the three point line. You've

103
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: got to get back in transition and communicate because they're

104
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 3: going to fly to ball the court.

105
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: You get them at sentastamor and I what have you

106
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: learned about this fan base and how important is it

107
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: for that shootout vibe not to be a one off?

108
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, the shootout is interesting because you know as an outsider,

109
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 3: you know, I'm a non Xavier guy, and you know,

110
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 3: I'm still trying to earn my stripes with all the fans.

111
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 3: And you know, they kind of the media and the

112
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 3: fans kind of trick you a little bit because they're like,

113
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 3: do you take this game seriously or not? And I'm like, listen,

114
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 3: as a coach, we're one game at a time, this

115
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 3: and that. But you know, really what it is is

116
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: the fans and the media really really take it seriously

117
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: because of the bragging rights and all that. It's really

118
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 3: really cool and fun to be a part of. But

119
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 3: I've gotten asked that question and I just said, you know,

120
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 3: you know, I understand at a bye game in December

121
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 3: it is not always going to be like that. But

122
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 3: you know, I was very lucky for the last four

123
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 3: years to coach in an iconic building in front of

124
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: a terrific fan base in New Mexico with fifteen thousand fans.

125
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 3: And I tell you what, if we bring it like

126
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 3: we did in the Crosstown shootout for these ten home

127
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 3: games in the league, like we're going to be a

128
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 3: tough out, you know, it's a really cool fan base

129
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 3: because I've never worked at a small kind of Catholic

130
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 3: school like this with no football. I went to a

131
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 3: school like this, but I've never professionally done that. And

132
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 3: they're not necessarily a large number, but there's strength kind

133
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 3: of in the numbers that they have, and they're really

134
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: really passionate, and they've been very welcome to me and

135
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:43,799
Speaker 3: my family.

136
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: All Right, my most important question to you, can you

137
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 2: confirm a family sledding activity that may have led to injury?

138
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: If not at least general sortus on your part.

139
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 3: General sortus would be accurate for sure. I was standing

140
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 3: in my office today because my back was hurty. You know.

141
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 3: We we've got a pretty cool hill in front of

142
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 3: our house. And my cute nine year old daughter put

143
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 3: like her snow pants on, her boots on, and my

144
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 3: other two kids were not there, and she was like, well,

145
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 3: I guess I'm gonna go slaving by myself. And I'm like,

146
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 3: all right, I got to go with you. You know,

147
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 3: when you live in Minnesota. It was so cold, like

148
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 3: like the Bengals game the other day. That was like

149
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 3: every day in Minnesota for like three months, so it

150
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 3: was like thirty degrees out. We had a blast, but

151
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 3: I took a little spill. My wife didn't catch it,

152
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 3: but I did actually run into a tree as well.

153
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 3: But I think I'm a game time decision tomorrow. But

154
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 3: I feel good that I'm going to be able to coach.

155
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: Oh man, that is good news. Well take care of
