1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: My first summer in college. It was pretty rough. I

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know if I'm fin the storry.

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: These practices are crazy. My defense, I don't even know

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: what hell defense is like geez. I was just like, yeah,

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: I was just a deer in hairlights and I was

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: just stressing so bad. But it wasn't until like right

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: before the season, we had a scrimmage against our practice guys,

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: Like we had a real scrimmage, refs and everything that

9
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: was just to get us prepared for the season, and

10
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: we had a real game.

11
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: My coach put me in the starting lineup for that,

12
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, okay, I think I swore

13
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: like twenty seven against the boys, And that was like

14
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: my breakout moment, especially like just in practice, like okay,

15
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: I feel like myself again. And since then I just

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: was like, you know what, I.

17

Speaker 3: you spent some good time there, Okay, I see jumping

35
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 3: right into the women's basketball landscape. Things are heating up

36
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: in the conference tournament. As we've seen over these past

37
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 3: few days, things have been a little crazy. But we'll

38
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 3: start with you guys in acc tournament. Big win against Syracuse,

39
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 3: tough loss against NC State. What do you like about

40
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 3: how your team is gelling headed into March Madness right now?

41
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: We're just we understand that it's bigger than us and

42
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: we want to, you know, change the program.

43
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: We want to turn it around.

44
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: I feel like we all have the same common goal,

45
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: which is to win. That's very important, and we're just

46
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: jeling right. We have chemistry on and off the court,

47
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: and like I said, we just.

48
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 2: Have each other's backs. So I feel like that's what's

49
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: helping us go into the tournament.

50
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like it's very apparent when you guys

51
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: play that you have great team chemistry. You've kind of

52
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 3: had that young core really since you guys came in,

53
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 3: so I think it's really kind of showing as you

54
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: get into this part of the season. But I mean,

55
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 3: the ACC Final was exciting. Notre Dame be NC State.

56
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 3: It was a really close game. Did you have Notre

57
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 3: Dame winning or did you pick NC State? What was

58
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: your kind of prediction heading into that.

59
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: I knew Notre Dame was gonna win, okay, but I

60
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: have a lot of friends that play for NC State,

61
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: so I was kind of just neutral. I love coach

62
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: iov she's such an amazing coach, and coach Wes Moore

63
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: he's such a great coach too, So I knew it

64
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: was going to be a battle, but I knew Notre

65
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: Dame was going to win.

66
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: It, Okay, Yeah, I got I saw Notre Dame play

67
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 3: against Georgia say. I mean, they're tough to beat. I

68
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 3: feel like they have a lot of different weapons. But

69
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 3: you guys do too. You lead the ACC top of

70
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: the conference and scoring at eighty points a game. I mean,

71
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 3: that's hefty. How are you supposed to like it's really

72
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 3: just trying to outscore y'all at the end of the day.

73
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 3: So what makes you guys so dangerous on the offensive end?

74
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: I feel like we played pretty fast. I mean, we're

75
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: the fastest in the conference.

76
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: That's our motto. Just be the fastest team in the country.

77
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: Get to the basket, you know, just everybody's an attack.

78
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: Everybody can go to the.

79
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: Basket, and I feel like that really helps us score

80
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: as much as we do.

81
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 3: I mean, in you individually averaging twenty one a game,

82
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 3: that's insane for you to be doing. For still, I

83
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: feel like you're still so young in my eyes, but

84
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 3: you've been running a FSU for a few years now.

85
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 3: So I mean, you're averaging twenty one a game, fourth

86
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 3: and ACC thirteenth in the country. How do you feel

87
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 3: like you've continued to elevate your game because even as

88
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 3: a freshman, you were one of the top scorers in

89
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 3: the league, and so now you're at the head of

90
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 3: every scatting report. So how have you continued to still

91
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: work through all the different defense schemes being thrown at you.

92
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 3: If they're going over, they're trapping, all these different things.

93
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: How have you been able to continue to elevate your game?

94
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: Just trying to be consistent with my outside shot and

95
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: I've been working on that in an off season. Just

96
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, open up the lane for me

97
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: to be a threat all over the floor. Just getting

98
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: my teammates more involved. When I am getting tried, just

99
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: try to pass somebody that's open, Just make the right

100
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: place for my teammates and myself, and just continue to

101
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: be me.

102
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: I just take what the.

103
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: Defense is given me, but also just still trying to

104
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: be aggressive, still trying to have that hunger. I feel

105
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: like that was the biggest thing this year for me.

106
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: Just continue to be hunger.

107
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think it's what you talked about reading

108
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 3: the defense. You're not one of those players where like

109
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 3: it's always you're going to get yours. I feel like

110
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 3: you read the defense so well in terms of like

111
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 3: you're getting your teammates involved. You've a lot of different

112
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 3: scoring weapons on your team. And so I think that's

113
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: what makes you so great is reading though all those

114
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: different options, which I've always loved about your game, even

115
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 3: throwing it back through our first takeover when we met,

116
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 3: like you're a player to get your teammates involved. But

117
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 3: talking about other conference tournaments, the SEC was absolutely insane

118
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 3: watching it was all over the place. So we'll start

119
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 3: off with the semis. Tennessee had South Carolina, which I

120
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 3: did not see coming. Honestly, I know Tennessee is good,

121
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 3: but I thought South Carolina was gonna run that game.

122
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 3: Camilla hitting the three like your first career attempt is insane.

123
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 3: So with Starborth Tennessee, do you feel like they're kind

124
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 3: of kind of like being under the radar team. I

125
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 3: feel like their coach always has in prep, so coming

126
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 3: into the tournament, I feel like, you know, you guys

127
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: beat them earlier in the year, which was close. Well,

128
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: you guys won by one something one by one. That

129
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: was a close game too, and so you know, I

130
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: feel like they're kind of under the radar. But coming

131
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 3: off a loss like that, do you feel like that'll

132
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 3: really help them moving into the postseason.

133
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I feel like nobody's coming that close

134
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: to beating South Carolina, and I feel like that should

135
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: give them an extra boost, like that they are capable

136
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: of beating the best. That shouldn't be like a dagger

137
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: for them. I feel like that should give them confidence

138
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: to show like what they're capable of. And they have awesome,

139
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: awesome players like Jewel Spear, Makia Jackson, and they just

140
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: they just jell. I feel like they really fit each other.

141
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: So I feel like they're going to make a pretty

142
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: good run in the tournament.

143
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

144
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 3: I feel like a lot of teams have the capability

145
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 3: to really put together a tough run of the tournament.

146
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, but another team like that is LSU. I

147
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 3: just I don't have the words. Everybody knew that rematch

148
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 3: was going to be insane. LSU South Carolina has really

149
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 3: become a rivalry in recent years. I feel like and

150
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 3: SE seems invincible a lot of the time, but they've

151
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 3: had a few close games like that. Talking about Tennessee,

152
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 3: I think they had another scare earlier in SEC play.

153
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: But like the end of that game shows the intensity

154
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 3: of women's basketball right now, and I feel like it's

155
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 3: literally all over my social media feed no matter where

156
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 3: I am. What's TikTok Twitter, it's online seeing So I

157
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 3: want your opinion. Do you feel like the benches should

158
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 3: have been ejected?

159
00:06:58,880 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 2: Like? What?

160
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 3: What are you? And especially like them not being able

161
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 3: to come out and celebrate at the end was wild.

162
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 3: I saw Chloe posting the selfie before in the locker room.

163
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 3: I was dying. But what's your opinion on how the

164
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 3: end of the game and how that was all handled? Yeah?

165
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: That was crazy.

166
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: I mean I can see the ejections, but like you said,

167
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: just allowing them to come out and celebrate that was like,

168
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: I feel like they should have been able to do that. Yeah,

169
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like I knew it was going to

170
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: come to that because it was a pretty physical game

171
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: and you know the rest were lating and play and

172
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: talks next. So yeah, I mean that's what happens, Like

173
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: post Don Staley said, that's what happens when Temperance Squayer

174
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: and everybody's trying to win. But it was really great

175
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: for TV. It's it's good for girls basketball too. I

176
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: feel like it brings a lot of exposure for us.

177
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean I'm always going to go for

178
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: South Carolina because my teammate Raven Johnson my high school teammate.

179
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: I love her. I was so happy that they won.

180
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: I like LSU two. I got a couple of friends

181
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: over there too. So it was a good game though.

182
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: It was really good.

183
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a good game, And like you said,

184
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 3: I feel like it's so good for women's basketball, not

185
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 3: only like the pub around it, but more so just

186
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 3: to show that competitive aspect to it. I feel like

187
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 3: a lot of times people don't think that we play

188
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 3: like that, Like it's physical out there, and like you said,

189
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 3: the rest were letting them play. I was watching the

190
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 3: battle in the post like it was getting shippy. Oh

191
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 3: we're not calling anything today, but literally literally do you

192
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 3: feel like you've noticed like a level of physicality really

193
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 3: increase in the postseason Because watching yesterday's game and other

194
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 3: women's college basketball games, I'm like, oh my god, it

195
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: is down and dirty up in the pain. I feel

196
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 3: the physicality has just gotten to another level as we

197
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 3: head into March madness. M h.

198
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.

199
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 1: You see teams just like they got that hunger in

200
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: their eyes. Every game is like hard, especially in the

201
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: a SEC tournament like River Baldwin and Maddy Westboper going.

202
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, like it was.

203
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: Some temperance playing then, So yeah, I just feel like

204
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: everybody just has one goal, which is to win, and

205
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: they're playing hard for sure.

206
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 3: I'm really just like refs are letting them play because

207
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 3: I feel like, especially in conference tournaments like that, refs

208
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 3: are really trying to set the tone that like it's

209
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 3: going to be played a certain type of way. But

210
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 3: I did not see that this year, which I was

211
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 3: a fan of honestly, like, let them play. It's great.

212
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 3: But touching on another conference, we have the Big Ten.

213
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 3: Seeing Ohio State in Indiana lose, I was shocked that

214
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 3: was that was insane because Ohio State was on a

215
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 3: fourteen game win streak heading into that, so to drop

216
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 3: back to back and I don't know how that's going

217
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 3: to affect their number one seed. Lining like that, I

218
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 3: feel like it's just showing the depth of every conference

219
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 3: because I feel like in years past it's kind of

220
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 3: been like SEC Pack twelve and ACC you're deep from

221
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 3: top to bottom. Big Ten and Big twelve are always

222
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: kind of run by those same top teams. But see

223
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 3: somebody like a Nebraska A getting to the championship game

224
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 3: is really exciting. And so that overtime final, oh my God.

225
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

226
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 3: Do you feel like that secures Iowa a number one

227
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 3: seed heading into the turn or do you feel like

228
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 3: things can still kind of be shaken up coming into

229
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 3: Selection Sunday.

230
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: I feel like that secures them.

231
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: Honestly, they had they had a pretty good year, even

232
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: though they had a couple upsets. I feel like just

233
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: the power of Caitlin Clark, like, yeah, you know, yeah,

234
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: I feel like they're going to get that number one

235
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: see for sure.

236
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like they could have secured it with that.

237
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 3: But honestly, like the number one seas are really all

238
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 3: over the place. You had somebody like uc LA run

239
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: the table at number two for weeks on in Ohio

240
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 3: State for weeks and for them to kind of drop

241
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: like they did towards the end of the season, it

242
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 3: should be interesting. I think Selection Sunday is going to

243
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 3: be all over the place. And finally with the peck

244
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 3: Stanford did lose yesterday. Hurt my heart, but I mean

245
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 3: usc is tough. Usc is tough. You gotta give to him.

246
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 3: And I feel like, you know, Juju's amazing, but I

247
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 3: feel like people are so caught up being like she's

248
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 3: the whole team, when in reality, she's a great supporting cast,

249
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 3: somebody like Mackenzie Forbes, who I played club with, who

250
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 3: I love seeing her.

251
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I played USA with her, and she's such

252
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: a great teammate, Like she does all the little things,

253
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: so she does.

254
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 3: I love seeing just like other players step up. And

255
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 3: I think what makes Juju great, just like yourself, is

256
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 3: that when she sees like maybe she doesn't have the

257
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 3: hot hand, you know, she's still swinging the ball, She's

258
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 3: getting her teammates involve, there's all these other things going on.

259
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 3: Do you think USC has enough like in their arsenal

260
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 3: to get a number one seed after winning the pack

261
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 3: at the end of the year.

262
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 2: M I don't know. PAC twelve was tough this year, Like,

263
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know.

264
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 3: We'll leave that one undecided. And then yeah, talking about

265
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 3: Juju a little bit, we talk about Notre Dame coming

266
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 3: from you being a Rookie of the year yourself. Who

267
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 3: has your vote for this season's Freshman of the Year,

268
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 3: Hannah or Juju? Are you on one side? Are you

269
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 3: gonna take the middle?

270
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: Give us some good Well, I've been knowing Juju since

271
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: I was in like seventh grade.

272
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 2: She was like sixth grade. So it's some history there,

273
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: and you know, Hannah Hodago, I gotta give her a pot.

274
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: She's an amazing player, so I'm just gonna stay neutral.

275
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 2: But at the same time, I gotta go with, like,

276
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 2: my friend, you just been playing her butt off, like

277
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie. A lot of people haven't seen that.

278
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 2: And I feel like she gives college.

279
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: Basketball just stuff like a refreshing Like she's so refreshing,

280
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: she's such a great person.

281
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 2: She's an amazing player. Like I said, so I feel

282
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: like they're going to give it to her.

283
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I appreciate you taking aside. You were trying

284
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 3: to skip out on me on a few of those

285
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 3: controversial questions. I appreciate the side. Uh. But you know,

286
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 3: I think they both had amazing seasons. But I don't

287
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 3: think USC, like we talked about, their supporting cast is great.

288
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 3: But I don't know USC would be where they are

289
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 3: without Juju and her performances, which I think she's so

290
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 3: valuable to that program, not only for her scoring, but

291
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 3: like seeing the impact that she's had people coming to

292
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 3: their games, all the different celebrities.

293
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: Like it's insane, it's insane.

294
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 3: But think about the tournament I want to get into

295
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 3: the madness a little bit, and some of our next

296
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 3: questions are brought to us by a lovely sponsor and Wendy's.

297
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 3: So I want to ask you a question about We

298
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 3: talked a little about like kind of those dark horse teams,

299
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 3: people who are kind of coming into it towards the

300
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 3: end of the season. What teams have made you do

301
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 3: a double take and like who could kind of make

302
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 3: a run this year, because there's always those teams. A

303
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 3: few years ago is Craton, I don't know. I think

304
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 3: another year it was like, yeah, Miami was a team

305
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 3: last year, So who do you feel like is going

306
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 3: to be that team this year?

307
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: M I feel like Michigan. Michigan has been playing pretty

308
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: good too lately. I'm not gonna lie Michigan. Course Tennessee,

309
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: like I just said, I feel like they're going to

310
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 1: make a pretty good one.

311
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 2: Who else sang? I don't know.

312
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: I feel like, I mean Notre Dame, like they just

313
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: want acc but I feel like people are still kind

314
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 1: of like underestimating them. I feel like they're going to

315
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: make a pretty good one too.

316
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 2: Especially if they're healthy.

317
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: Virginia Tag, I mean, they just lost liszt kid me,

318
00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I don't know, but yeah, those teams.

319
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 3: Some good picks. I think the one I would add

320
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 3: is like Oregon State coming into their own this this

321
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 3: half the season, because I mean, like me playing against

322
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 3: some of the pack. You know, they're always good, but

323
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 3: I feel like in years past, recently they've kind of

324
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 3: not been getting it together. But I think this year

325
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 3: they've really been showing out. Like Reagan Beers is a

326
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 3: monster down there. Oh my god, her playing her last year,

327
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 3: she set a screen on me, and I think I

328
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 3: almost like passed away. I wasn't getting through that. I

329
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 3: was done. I needed a sub so, like, she's a monster.

330
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 3: But they have a lot of great pieces. But talking

331
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 3: about teams, I want to move into specific players. Is

332
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 3: there anybody that has like really impressed you this season

333
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 3: that's gonna make some noise in the tournament?

334
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: M M of course Juju, of course, Hannah Hidalgo with

335
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 2: Kia Jackson. Who else?

336
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: Georgia Amore, Like I know she's without Liz right now,

337
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: and that's like her partner in crime.

338
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 2: But she's an amazing player, amazing player. Who else? I

339
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 2: don't know, Alyssa Peelee. I feel like she's pretty good. Yeah,

340
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 2: yeah from Utah. Who else? Yeah, that's all I got

341
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: on the top of my head right now.

342
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 3: There are some good picks. I love watching Georgia play

343
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 3: her step Pad three is actually like unguardable. What are

344
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 3: you supposed to do with that?

345
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 2: That crossovers. My freshman year.

346
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: That was like my walk into college moment almost got

347
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: almost failed.

348
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's okay, It's happened to many people out there.

349
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 3: It's fine. I had my welcome to the League moment

350
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 3: with a freaking jab step, so like, you're good, a crossover,

351
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 3: step back, You're fine. But I think headed is a tournament.

352
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 3: One thing that I've always found so interesting. It's like

353
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 3: you play at these neutral sites, right with the regionals,

354
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 3: you have Seattle, greensborod whatever it may be. But the

355
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 3: way that the certain fans show up for certain teams,

356
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 3: it does not feel neutral. Like see South Carolina travel

357
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 3: to Greensboro, which honestly isn't even that far in Colombia.

358
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 3: But like playing somebody like that, I feel like there

359
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 3: are certain fan bases that are just absolutely insane. What

360
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 3: do you feel like one is the wildest fan bases?

361
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 3: I mean, recently in college hoops.

362
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 2: In C State when we played them, they had the

363
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: whole crowd. It was just go.

364
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 3: Pay Really, I didn't know that one.

365
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have a pretty big crowd. It is like

366
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: super loud and there when we do play there. Louisville

367
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: has a good one in the ACC too.

368
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

369
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: Who else? Iowa?

370
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: Of course, you know, Oh my god, yeah yeah, Lsu

371
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: they have prettiest crowd.

372
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 3: I feel like those are the top ones for sure.

373
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 3: I didn't realize NC State traveled like that though. I

374
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 3: didn't know the pack was like that. I feel like

375
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 3: you know about LSU, Iowa. A big one for me

376
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 3: is I see game cognation everywhere, like it does not

377
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 3: matter where you are. I see South Carolina fans. And

378
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 3: then my last one around this is we talked a

379
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: little bit about different guards in the ACC and how

380
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 3: stacked it is, including yourself. Who do you feel like

381
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 3: is your toughest guard where it's kind of like that

382
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 3: big guard that's circled on you on every scatter before

383
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 3: every time you play them.

384
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:12,959
Speaker 1: M dang, let me see, it was Haley Vandless she

385
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: was she was a dog and who I'm not gonna

386
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: lie it's Hannah now of course like she's she's just

387
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: a dog on defense and offense, like she can play

388
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: both ends of the floor. When we played Notre Dame,

389
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: I was like, preparing for that was the most focus I've.

390
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 2: Ever been in the game.

391
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: Like I was like I had to go beet training

392
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: before that game. Like it was it was serious.

393
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 2: It was serious.

394
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, she's such an amazing player. So I feel like, yeah,

395
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: Hannah's Hannah's a big dog. She's a big dog.

396
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 3: That's crazy. That's crazy. Yeah, I mean to be doing

397
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 3: that as a freshman as wild and I feel like

398
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 3: that that's how people were curcling you when you were

399
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 3: a freshman and now still, which is m h it's

400
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 3: crazy to see. But talking about giving people their flowers,

401
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 3: we gave Handah whole bunch of Georgia. But I feel

402
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 3: like one person that kind of goes under the radar

403
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 3: for a lot of people is Miss Fair from Syracuse.

404
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 3: For her, oh my god, for her to be doing

405
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 3: what she's doing, and I feel like she doesn't get

406
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 3: enough love in the media as well. You don't see

407
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 3: that hype. And I remember I played her in my

408
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 3: freshman year and she was at Buffalo. She gave us

409
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 3: buckets like a thirty ball, like what like there was

410
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 3: we threw six different people at her, and there was

411
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,479
Speaker 3: still she was still gonna go get hers. So what

412
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 3: is it like scouting her? And then actually it's one

413
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 3: thing he scout somebody, but actually executing that when playing

414
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 3: somebody for her caliber talsks me about.

415
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 2: Her the first time we played them at their house,

416
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: like she was on fire. I feel like that was

417
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 2: when she first hit like three k points and we

418
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 2: had like.

419
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: Three four different people on her and it was crazy.

420
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: She was shooting from the coach's box.

421
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 2: I was like, Yo, this is grazy, Like you couldn't

422
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 2: do nothing about it.

423
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: Like it is like you try to ice her, you

424
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: try to drop on her, like it's just so many

425
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: different defenses and she's in a amazing shooter. All you

426
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: can do is really just try to turn her into

427
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: a driver, make her put the ball on the floor.

428
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: And I feel like that's what we did the second

429
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: time around, which in the ACC tournament, she only had

430
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: like two.

431
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 2: Threes and we were just like, oh, thank God, thank

432
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: you God.

433
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 3: That's a win. That's a win. Yeah honest, yeah. And

434
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 3: then my other one, I say, doesn't get a lot

435
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 3: of love but every time I watch n C State,

436
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: I'm always really impressed with Aziah James. I feel like

437
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 3: she's kind of that X factor with NC State you

438
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 3: think about you know, yes, Senai Rivers, you have Rhyther River,

439
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 3: you have Madison, all these different pieces, but I think

440
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 3: she really holds them down and it's a spark for them,

441
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 3: which she gets hot. So what do you think she

442
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 3: brings to NC State?

443
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that that's my dog. She's a she's a killer.

444
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: I was surprised that she didn't play as much last

445
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: year because last year we beat NC State at home,

446
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: but when she came in the.

447
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 2: Game, it was like a whole different momentum.

448
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: So I'm just happy to see that she's out there

449
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: killing it like how she is now.

450
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 2: I really wish she was playing with me. But but yeah,

451
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 2: she's such an a as employer, even better person off

452
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 2: the court.

453
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 3: I love that. Okay, So before we get to talking,

454
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 3: it's more about you and talking about your journey all

455
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 3: these different things. We've started a new segment here, which

456
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 3: is my Question of the Day, which is my favorite

457
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 3: thing to ask people. This is gonna tell me a

458
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 3: lot about you. Okay, So prepare yourself it's gonna be

459
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 3: a little out of the park. But what do you

460
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 3: feel like is the biggest animal that you could take

461
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 3: in a fist fight? Talking about no weapons, like have

462
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 3: a big ego here, Okay, don't say some lame like

463
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 3: a puppy or like a raccoon, because people have tried

464
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 3: to tell me that, Like, what's the biggest one you

465
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 3: feel like you could take?

466
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 2: Probably an elephant?

467
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 3: Oh my god? Really?

468
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

469
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like that's what you say, like the biggest

470
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: like sidewise.

471
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 3: Like you're yeah, like you're gonna take it in a

472
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 3: fist fight, though, an elephant?

473
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 2: No, no, let me see.

474
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: Let me see what am I gonna take? Probably like

475
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: a snake like people are scared of.

476
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 3: Thanks, that's a good one. I haven't heard snake yet.

477
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 3: Elephant is wild, mine is giraffe. I feel like I

478
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 3: could take out the knees and then get them on

479
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 3: the ground and then win. You know, yeah, all right,

480
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 3: I didn't like your face that you needed to have.

481
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 3: I said, I know, all right, whatever, snake, I'll take it. Whatever.

482
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 3: We're gonna jump into you and your basketball journey. Let's

483
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 3: take it back a little bit. Miami, Florida. Your dad

484
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 3: was in the military, so you kind of jumped around

485
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 3: a lot. Texas, Missouri, Hawaii, Atlanta, Miami. How did you

486
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 3: start getting into basketball? Who put the ball in your hands?

487
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 2: Honestly, my cousins did.

488
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: They played overseas and I just grew up watching them,

489
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: And ever since I was three years old, I just

490
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: always wanted to play basketball.

491
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 2: But I didn't start taking it serious until like seventh grade.

492
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: That's when I was like, Okay, I want to start

493
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,719
Speaker 1: playing basketball for real, for real. Before that, I was

494
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: just thinking of everything. I was raised in Missouri, so

495
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: you know, I was raised around a lot of white kids,

496
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: and you know, I just wanted to, you know, try

497
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 1: to follow in their footsteps. I wanted to be a

498
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: marine biologist at one point before like taking basketball serious,

499
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: like I was a nerd. And then I was like,

500
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: you know, and once I moved to Hawaii, I started

501
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 1: taking it more serious. My dad was like, nah, you

502
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: need to really start, like, you know, training and taking

503
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: this serious. So that's what I did, and ever since

504
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: then the rest is history.

505
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 3: Oh wow, I love that. Oh wow, I mean I've

506
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 3: had growing up in Hawaii was so much fun. I'm

507
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 3: actually very jealous of that. I bet that was a blast.

508
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 3: So growing up you started to take it seriously around

509
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 3: seventh grade, was there somebody that you really modeled your

510
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 3: game after, somebody that you looked up to?

511
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 2: M Maya More for sure.

512
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: I loved Maya More like she was an amazing player,

513
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: such when she retired, But yeah, her, and I would

514
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: say Lebron James. I just like how powerful he plays like.

515
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: He just plays like he's just like, you know, a

516
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: king for real. So I try to model that like

517
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: I tried to. But I lot of comparison of like

518
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: baby Flash, like Dwayne Wade, So now I just watched

519
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: a lot of him, like young Dwayne Wade for sure.

520
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 3: So those are those are three good picks. Honestly, you

521
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 3: named some heavy hitters. I can I can see all

522
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 3: three of them. Though. I feel like the way, even

523
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 3: though you may not be the biggest guard out there,

524
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 3: the way that you get to the rim like you're

525
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 3: bullying people down there, there's no getting in front of you,

526
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 3: which is really impressive. Talk to me a little bit

527
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 3: about your recruiting process, moving from state to state kind

528
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 3: of all around the country. Did that have an impact

529
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 3: in the way you got recruited? Maybe you know jumping

530
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 3: around AAU, teams, different schools, things like that. How did

531
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 3: that impact your recruiting?

532
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: Well, I didn't start like getting recruited for al until

533
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: like I moved to Atlanta. That's when I started playing

534
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: with FBC in like tenth grade. That's when I started

535
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 1: getting my offers and stuff like that. But people knew

536
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: me from Hawaii, they just didn't know how to contact me.

537
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: So that was when I started really getting like more offers.

538
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: My first offer was probably I think it was Georgia,

539
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: and then Florida State had came for that, and then

540
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: after Florida, say, everybody just started rolling in.

541
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 3: And so when did you realize, you know, he kind

542
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 3: of talks about jumping around all these different things, playing

543
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 3: against a lot of different types of competition. When did

544
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 3: you realize that you were gonna be one of the

545
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 3: best players in your class? Because you ended up coming

546
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 3: out the top small guard in your class shooting guard.

547
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 3: So when did you realize, like, I'm like that, you know,

548
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 3: like I need to be getting recruited. I'm gonna go

549
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 3: do X y Z once I get to the next level.

550
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 2: I would say, like tenth grade for sure.

551
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: I struggled in high school because I played with so

552
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: many good players. I just was like, you know, maybe

553
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: I'm not enough, maybe I'm not as good as you

554
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: know who I'm playing with. And you know, my mom

555
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: used to tell me a lot. She used to be like, okay, tonight,

556
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: you can't compare yourself to other people. And that's what

557
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: I've been sicking with the whole time. And I feel

558
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: like McDonald American, that's what really solidified it for me

559
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: that I am one of the best of my class.

560
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: Just like I mean, I was like third stream. I

561
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: came off the bench.

562
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: For real midgar. I was like, I'm mad that.

563
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

564
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, that that just gave me motivation, especially heading

565
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: into college, because I was like, nah, I'm way better

566
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: than what people are trying to put, like you know,

567
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: project me as so no.

568
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 3: I feel that my McDonald's game was absolutely awful, Like

569
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 3: I was trash, so like I poof that. I get that.

570
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 3: I agree. I think it's also like, when you're playing

571
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 3: in such competition, it's hard to not have that comparison

572
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 3: going on in your head because it's like, oh, well,

573
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 3: they're doing this, they're doing that. I need to be

574
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 3: doing a different things. Especially I remember seeing your your

575
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 3: FBC team, like y'all were all over Instagram, y'all were

576
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 3: everywhere loaded. So what were some of the top players

577
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 3: in your class or in that AA you experience that

578
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 3: you remember going head to head with and being like, Okay,

579
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 3: this is gonna be my competition, not only now but

580
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 3: now in the college landscape, like y'all are still the

581
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 3: top dogs going head to head.

582
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well I never played against ki q Rice,

583
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: but she was always like top lorm beds.

584
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 2: That was you know, boring bets and born bits.

585
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, while j Johnson I played against her a lot.

586
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 2: In Atlanta, London.

587
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: Jones, I've been knowing her for a while too, So yeah,

588
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,479
Speaker 1: it was just a lot of girls like Jania Barker

589
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: her too, she played for Essence. Yeah, it was just

590
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: a lot of girls. I'm like, dang, I don't.

591
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 2: Know how I'm you know, like I didn't even know.

592
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: I thought I was going to make the McDonald American

593
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: Oh please, like sending a hope and a prayer. I

594
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: was like, I hope I do. But I didn't make

595
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: the Jordans All American whatever that was. But I didn't

596
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: make that. So I was just like, well, I'm glad

597
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 1: you just have made the Makedon All American team, especially

598
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: because I feel like I was.

599
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 2: Just underrated in high school for sure.

600
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 1: Even though I was a number one shooting guard, I

601
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: just felt like I wasn't still well.

602
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 3: So you're jump into some of my questions here. We'll

603
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 3: jump back into that in a bit, don't you worry.

604
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 3: But what ended up being that deciding factor for you

605
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 3: to choose Florida State? Because I feel like Florida State

606
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 3: is like, historically this legendary program, but kind of before

607
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 3: you got there, they've been under the radar for a

608
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,199
Speaker 3: few years. They had been performing as people wanted them to.

609
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 3: So what made you want to go to Florida State?

610
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: It was somewhere that I knew I could make a

611
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: name for myself. And I feel like I could have

612
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: went anywhere and made a name for myself for sure,

613
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: but they were just the most consistent. I loved the staff.

614
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: The girls treated.

615
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 2: Me like I was their little sister when I went

616
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 2: on my official visit, and I just had a great time.

617
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: I remember going with Raven and Snoop up there for

618
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: an unofficial and I didn't have an offer, but those

619
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: two they did have an offer, and I was just

620
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: up there like a little kid. That was the first

621
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 1: college I've ever been to, so I was just happy

622
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: to be there. And then by the end of that I.

623
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 2: Got the offer.

624
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: So I was just like, you know what this is

625
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: definitely like from then on, I was like, Yeah, this

626
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: is going to be a top five school for me.

627
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 3: And then it's hard because then your head coach Sue

628
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 3: retired in twenty twenty two. So then when Coach Brooke

629
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 3: ended up taking over, what was that decision making process

630
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 3: for you to decide to stay? Because I feel like

631
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 3: a lot of people reopen up their recruiting, think about

632
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 3: leaving all these different things. So what was it about

633
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 3: Coach Brooke that made you decide that you to stay.

634
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was definitely hard here and coach who retired

635
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: because she's such an amazing moment. But Coach Brookes, she

636
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: was the associate head coach at the time, and she.

637
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 2: Recruited me like heavily. We talked all the time, We

638
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 2: talked about.

639
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: Boys, school, everything, so she was one of the only

640
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: coaches that I actually had a connection with. So I

641
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: was just like, you know what, I'm gonna stick it

642
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: through and see where it takes me and it's one

643
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: of the best decisions I've ever made.

644
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean it seems like it's worked out

645
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 3: pretty well. And so I went it back to your

646
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 3: freshman year. You showed up and showed out. You were

647
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 3: the first a SEC freshman to ever lead the leading

648
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 3: scoring at twenty one point three single season freshman scoring record,

649
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 3: which is insane. And then you just did so much.

650
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 3: You really carried for the state as a freshman, which

651
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 3: I feel like is really hard to do. Coming in

652
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 3: to the league. You're figuring out college. There's a lot of

653
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 3: different factors that are now impacting you. But you know,

654
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 3: coming into your freshman year we talked about that underrated piece.

655
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 3: Do you feel like you had something to prove?

656
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course I knew like capabilities, I knew like

657
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: coming into college. Well, at first, my first summer in college,

658
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: it was pretty rough. I was like, I don't know

659
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: if I'm fin the side. These practices are crazy. My

660
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: defense I don't even know what hell defense.

661
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 2: Is Like, Oh, she's huge. Gee.

662
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: I was just like, yeah, I was just a deer

663
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: in hairlights and I was just stressing so bad. But again,

664
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: going back to that connection with coach Brook. She just

665
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: told me to take it one day at a time,

666
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: and I feel like that would really help me and

667
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: gain back my confidence and you know, just that hunger

668
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: to you know, go out there and prove myself.

669
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 2: And then ever since then, I just ran with it. Yeah.

670
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 3: Well, I feel like what's so interesting with that underrated

671
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 3: aspect of you is like within the women's basketball community

672
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 3: and basketball community general, everybody knows how much of a

673
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 3: bucket you are. Right Like we've talked about you many

674
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 3: times on this podcast, that's even being on here or

675
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 3: anything like that. You're brought up consistently, and so I

676
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 3: think within the basketball community there's no sense of underrated,

677
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 3: like you are elite. But I feel, like we talked

678
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 3: about earlier, with all these different players, the media isn't

679
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 3: giving that recognition that you deserve. And so even coming

680
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 3: from yourself talking about you know, freshman summer is very humbling.

681
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 3: I was humbled as well, Like it's you got to

682
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 3: learn a lot, it's schemes, it's help side, it's not

683
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 3: everything runs through you. And so when did you start

684
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 3: feeling like I could really dominate night in and night out.

685
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 2: In the top league like the ACC it wasn't until

686
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 2: like we had like it was right before the season.

687
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: We had a scrimmage against our practice guys, Like we

688
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: had a real scrimmage, refs and everything that was just

689
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: to get us prepare for the season, and we had

690
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: a real game. My coach put me in the starting

691
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: lineup for that, and I was like, oh, okay, well

692
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: and then.

693
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 2: Like after that, I just like I think I swore.

694
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: Like twenty seven against the boys, and that was like

695
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: my breakout moment, especially like just in practice, like Okay,

696
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: I feel like myself again. And since then, I just

697
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: was like, you know what I can. If I can

698
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: do this against these boys, I can do it against

699
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: these girls. So just getting back to me and being confident,

700
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: that was like that was that moment for me.

701
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I feel like confidence can really change anything,

702
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 3: like whether the ability is always going to be there,

703
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 3: but it's the way that you view yourself really. So

704
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 3: I feel like your game is so different from a

705
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 3: lot of different players, the way that you move, the

706
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 3: way that you're able to body people, your body control,

707
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 3: all these different aspects of you. What do you feel

708
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 3: like is that part of your game that teams weren't

709
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 3: really prepared for to deal with you with your freshman year, Like,

710
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 3: what do you think set you apart from a lot

711
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 3: of the different guards in the ACC.

712
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: I feel like my speed definitely, my change of pace,

713
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: just getting to the basket, the way I.

714
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 2: Can weave throughout defenses.

715
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: I feel like sometimes that has a lot of teams

716
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: stuck and they don't know what to do, and just

717
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: my relentnesses. I just keep going. I don't stop. So yeah,

718
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: I feel like that's what really just shocked a lot

719
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: of teams.

720
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 3: No, for sure. And I feel like even watching you

721
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 3: as a freshman, I think that a lot of people

722
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 3: I wasn't even mature at this point in my freshman career,

723
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 3: but like you know, you miss so you have a

724
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 3: few turnovers, whatever, that relentless aspect to you, You're gonna

725
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 3: keep going. It does not phase you. You are still going.

726
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 3: And as an opponent, like that is so frustrating because

727
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 3: you're like, oh, I'm in their head, but you're really not,

728
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 3: Like you just gonna keep it, pushing next play, and

729
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 3: it's very frustrating. And so I think for other ACC

730
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 3: teams and all the opponents that you face, like to

731
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 3: see you do that. Know, as a freshman, but continue

732
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 3: do it now. It's really hard to stop somebody with

733
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 3: that type of mindset. And you've always had that impact

734
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,239
Speaker 3: with the team that you were on, and you were

735
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 3: kind of put into what seemed like a leadership position

736
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 3: pretty early leading your team is scoring, leading the league scoring.

737
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 3: So how hard was that as a freshman to come

738
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 3: in and like lead the team and you're seventeen eighteen

739
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 3: leading these twenty two year olds, Like, it's a weird

740
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 3: dynamic to have.

741
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 2: It was very hard.

742
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: I always feel guilty for the sussosia that I do have,

743
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: well I did.

744
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 2: I just felt bad because.

745
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, dang, bro like these like, you know, fifty

746
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: year seniors and they haven't even scored a thousand points,

747
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.

748
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're out here already, get there.

749
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.

750
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: So I never wanted to really just it was just

751
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: hard just to be myself fully last year.

752
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 2: I felt like, especially with like you know, some.

753
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: Of the older girls that we had. They loved me,

754
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: of course, they supported me, but I.

755
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: Always felt bad for what I, like, you know, achieved,

756
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 2: because I just was like, I don't want to step

757
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 2: on anybody's toes.

758
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to, you know, do too much, but

759
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: at the same time, like I gotta go get.

760
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 2: Mine, you know what I mean.

761
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, I always did

762
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: anything that it took, you know, for my teammates to

763
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: be successful, for us to win and stuff like that.

764
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: But I just had to stop feeling guilty and just

765
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: continue to be me because I know the person.

766
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 2: That I am.

767
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think it's also like seeing those older

768
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 3: teammates uplift you in the fashion that they did, because

769
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 3: not a lot of people can take that. If you're

770
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 3: older and you're a young person coming in and you're

771
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 3: outshouting them doing all the different things, a lot of

772
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 3: people can take that the wrong way and then they

773
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 3: will then like sabotage a tea whatever it may be.

774
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 3: But it seems like the program that you guys have

775
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 3: and the girls that you're playing with everybody, it's like

776
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 3: once you put your own eagles aside and the whole

777
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 3: team goal of winning is at the front, that's all

778
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 3: that matters. It's whoever's going to get us there, it's

779
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 3: going to be worth that. So talking a little bitout

780
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 3: the end of your freshman season, your seasons cut short

781
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 3: with an injury, and y'all were peaking at that time,

782
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 3: which is so tough. I feel that I had the

783
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 3: same thing happened. And so take me back to that

784
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 3: moment when you found out you weren't going to be

785
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 3: able to play in the postseason. You still learn Rookie

786
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 3: of the Year first team on acc But how were

787
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 3: you able to handle being sidelined with an injury right

788
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 3: before the conference nca tournament? Because it's hard and it's

789
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 3: hard to stay engaged and you know you're already having

790
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 3: this amazing season, so like you want to do more,

791
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 3: as I know you did, so like, how were you

792
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 3: able to deal with that?

793
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 2: Yeah? It was tough at first.

794
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: I was like, dang, like right before the tournament, I

795
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: feel like that was going to be my moment to

796
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: just like, you know, show the world like who I

797
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: really am around that. But I feel like everything happens

798
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: for a reason. I trust God, And like I said,

799
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: I just felt like it happened for a reason, and

800
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: I was blessed. It was a blessing in the curse

801
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: at the same time, because I got to see things

802
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: from a different perspective. I felt like, you know, sitting

803
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: on a bench and taught me a lot about how

804
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: to be a good teammate, how to celebrate others even

805
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: when I'm not out there, And I feel like that

806
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: was a learning curve for me for sure.

807
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 3: It didn't seem to impact the mindset that bag because

808
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 3: your first game back, come back, twenty ball upset over Tennessee.

809
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 3: You picked up right where you left off. So I

810
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 3: feel like that's amazing to see, especially for somebody so young,

811
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 3: to come back and just get right back into the

812
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 3: flow of things. So what was that recovery process for you,

813
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 3: Like heading into your sophomore season, working on that off

814
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 3: season not only like focusing our knee rehab, but it's

815
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 3: also the mental aspect of trusting yourself again getting back

816
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 3: into playing shape.

817
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 2: It's very difficult that summer after like my injury and stuff.

818
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 2: I had to go to USA.

819
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 1: And I was insnawstic, yeah, but really just prepared.

820
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 2: Me for the season.

821
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: I felt like this past summer was probably the hardest

822
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: summer I've ever had, just mentally, just like there's so

823
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: much pressure I have to continue to grow my game

824
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: and I want to be consistent. I want to, like

825
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: I said, just continue to grow. So all the pressure,

826
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: all the media, my family and stuff like that.

827
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 2: It really became a lot at one point.

828
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: But I felt like once non conference was over this year,

829
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: I felt like I was back into my group coming

830
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: into ACC play. So yeah, I felt back in shape

831
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: and I felt ready to go.

832
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, we see it. We see it now,

833
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:33,959
Speaker 3: And I want you to talk a little bit about

834
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 3: kind of your big three that you guys have at

835
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 3: Florida State. Because the three y'all be going crazy, you,

836
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,760
Speaker 3: OMG and Mikayla. When you guys are healthy, it's unstopable.

837
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,280
Speaker 3: Then you also take into account Sarah, your point guard.

838
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 3: I feel like all y'all together, it's quite a core

839
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 3: to have. And so was there a certain game this

840
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 3: season with all four of you guys hitting that really

841
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 3: made you feel like you guys could contend in the

842
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 3: tournament this year and make it deep run.

843
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, Regina into we played great against Virginia Tech. I

844
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: felt like we all like we all did what we

845
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: had to do.

846
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 2: And since that game, we just came together and we

847
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 2: were like, we're the core.

848
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: We have to you know, we have to set the tone,

849
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: even for the players on the bench, the freshman everybody.

850
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: That's when we ran with the whole season, just the

851
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: core us for you know, going out there just doing

852
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: the best that we could.

853
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 3: Okay, amazing you do Virginia Tech quick. I remember watching

854
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 3: that game, y'all. Y'all were clicking. It was very apparent.

855
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 3: And when you guys are clicking, it's scary. And so

856
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 3: you know, coming off a tough loss in a CEC tournament,

857
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 3: now we're getting to March madness, it's really big tournament time.

858
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 3: What's not only your mindset but kind of the vibe

859
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 3: of the locker room thinking about what goals you guys

860
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 3: have moving into this postseason.

861
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: I feel like nobody expected us to go to the

862
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: semi finals in the a SEC tournament anyways, So that

863
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: was just that was just motivation. Just it's for for

864
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,439
Speaker 1: us to just bring into NC double as. I feel like,

865
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: like you said, when we're clicking, we probably played the

866
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: best our best games in the tournament. Honestly, we played

867
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: really good and that's it just gave us a taste of,

868
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: you know, what we're capable of and how far we

869
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: can actually go.

870
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 3: I mean, this is the time to peak, honestly, But yeah,

871
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 3: you know, the rest of the season matters. You're trying

872
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 3: to get together, but like you're peaking now, that's what

873
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 3: you need to see. And this is also going to

874
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 3: be your first NCAA tournament with your team at full strength.

875
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 3: So how does that feel, y'all peaking at the right time,

876
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 3: everybody's clicking and you're out full strength. How good does

877
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 3: that feel to have everything clicking at the right time.

878
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 2: It feels amazing. Like I said, it just we care

879
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 2: about each other.

880
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 1: We want to win, and I feel like everybody's on

881
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: the same page and it's a great time to be

882
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 1: on the same page. I feel like, yeah, so yeah,

883
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: I just hope that we can go pretty far.

884
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 3: Well, I'm excited for y'all. I mean, I'm always rooting

885
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 3: for you individually, as you know, but now I'm a

886
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 3: I'm a little bit of a Semino fan rooting for

887
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:58,919
Speaker 3: you and the team.

888
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 2: Now.

889
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 3: I don't know if I could get that far, but

890
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 3: but like a little bit, I'm always like, go tonight.

891
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 3: But before we wrap up, we get into the vibe check,

892
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 3: which is going to be rapid fire questions, which I

893
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 3: feel you're gonna be great at because we've had a

894
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 3: few rapid fire already with you knew VT, you knew

895
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 3: all these different things, so we're ready. It's starting off

896
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 3: pretty easy. What's the drill that you never want to

897
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 3: see on your practice plan?

898
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 2: Mhmm probably shoot, it's not rapid.

899
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 3: I was about to say, what happened.

900
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 2: It's so many drills I don't like to see, but

901
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 2: probably the Foster advantage. I don't like that drill.

902
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 3: What is that?

903
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 2: Like?

904
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: It's like when you have the free throw and it's

905
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: like two people and it's like one on two and

906
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: two on three, like, yeah.

907
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 3: You're if you're the one, if you start as the

908
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 3: one your gas Yeah yeah, yeah, that drill does suck? Okay,

909
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 3: game winning shot or game winning.

910
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 2: Steel, game winning shot okay, and.

911
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 3: One or three pointer and one group TikTok or solo

912
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 3: TikTok group group Okay? Why double zero for your jersey number?

913
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: In Hawaii? I got that number. My coach was like,

914
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: my AU coach was like, oh, you play like.

915
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 2: James Bond, like double zero, double o seven. So I

916
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 2: just cared it and ran with it.

917
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 3: So, oh that's good. James Bond is nice.

918
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:24,760
Speaker 2: Okay.

919
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 3: I feel like I've never heard that in a basketball term,

920
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 3: but I like it. I like it. Okay, where's the

921
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 3: toughest place to play on the road? And why.

922
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 2: In C State because of their crowd.

923
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about it earlier. Okay, biggest trash talker?

924
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,760
Speaker 3: This could be anybody or somebody on your team.

925
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 2: Sarah, but Jetty really yeah, we'd be at the now.

926
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 3: Really, I feel like I've seen this, like they always like,

927
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 3: will run a back quick highlight of her. You just

00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 3: see her mouth.

929
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can see that.

930
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 3: Okay, what's your biggest basketball ag?

931
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 2: Ooh? Charges? I hate I hate people that take charges

932
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 2: on me. Really, Yes, it's the new rule. You can
