1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: The vision I had as a wing player, because I

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: mean I was still like a past first type of

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: wing player. But also I would scored when I, you know,

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: have my shots to take. But then moving to a

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: point guard is still past first mentality. The court just changes,

6
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: like how you make reads, it all changes. And so

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: I mean first half of the conference it was a struggle.

8
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: You know, she's making bad reads, not seeing it read

9
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 1: quick enough. Mine theme when I asked coach what do

10
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: I need to do to be better for my team

11
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: as a point guard, and he said, your turnovers. And

12
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,319
Speaker 1: so that's been the main thing I've been working on.

13
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: And I can say our last game, I had zero turnovers.

14
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: So he was very he was very proud about that.

15
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: I was proud about that too.

16
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 2: Oh that's big.

17
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 3: That's big.

18
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: So I mean I would say like it was probably

19
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: the hardest transition. But I mean, my team is not

20
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: confidence in me.

21
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: Welcome back. Just sometimes I hoop today.

22
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,960

00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:52,080

45
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: I mean really don't mean the whole tournament was tough.

46
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: We had Kansas first round, Case State second round, and

47
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: Iowa State to finish off the tournament. I mean, we

48
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: just have funny entire tournament. We compete it, we get rewarded.

49
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: I mean ever since day one, so that's the on

50
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,440

51
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: plus it's our last year there, so it felt definitely

52
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: sweet just to get one before we left moving to

53
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: the SEC.

54
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,880

55
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 4: going to the SEC next year. I didn't even think

56
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 4: about that all the conference ships and everything.

57
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,480

60
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 4: your freshman year?

61
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: You just kind of ran the table. Are you gonna

62
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: go do the same thing next year in the new conference?

63
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 3: With?

64
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: What are we doing?

65
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: Is a one day at a time. I mean, I

66
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: hope we do great over there. I think we will.

67
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure we are.

68
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: That's the right answer. Way to be humble.

69
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 4: Okay, So as a freshman, it's your first time experiencing

70
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 4: selections Sunday. Walk me through the moment you guys found

71
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 4: out you're a number one seed, because that's pretty exciting.

72
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, motion, you know, going in, we kind of thought,

73
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, since we lost to oe you twice during

74
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: the regular season, we might've been two seed. I'm having

75
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: like a tougher way to get to what we're trying

76
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: to get, you know, going through just seeing teams getting

77
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: called out. I think what happened was we saw like,

78
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: Ohio Steak get too, and I think we just kind

79
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: of knew it was us, our Stanford the last one seed,

80
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: and saw texts for the one seed, and I think

81
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: we all we all kind of got just u like happy,

82
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: because I mean, like we've been through a lot of

83
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: like adversity this season. Of course, as you know, our

84
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: best porn gar, our best portground the nation I think

85
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: went down with like a a cl injury. So I

86
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: mean just us getting awarded makes us like still have

87
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: confidence in ourselves for sure.

88
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 4: I Mean you talked about the different struggles, so you

89
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 4: guys had to go through. Roy's a big part of

90
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 4: the team and just kind of like the whole Texas culture.

91
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 4: Like I played against her a few times actually, and

92
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 4: every time like she just can tend to get better.

93
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: So I'm excited to see how she does next year

94
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: coming back.

95
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 4: But before we get into that, let's talk about the

96
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 4: tournament a little bit, the different brackets. You guys have

97
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 4: a tough region. You have Stanford, Utah, Tennessee, and c State.

98
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 4: Like that's a tough corner. So how are you feeling

99
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 4: about the region. Are there any matchups catching your eye?

100
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 2: What are we thinking?

101
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think I really look deep into it.

102
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 2: Ian.

103
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: I feel like if you look far into it, you

104
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: can kind of get out at the moment. Yeah, just

105
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: really take one game, actually, like each day at a time,

106
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: because you don't know when's your last day. But I mean,

107
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: I'm kind of looking forward to playing Utah. Yeah scha

108
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: their post players game. Yeah, listen, like, Yeah, she's tough.

109
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: She Yeah, she get folks to run for their money.

110
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: She's she's good.

111
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: No, I couldn't agree more.

112
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 4: Peele's a she's a monster, honestly. But I think it'll

113
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 4: be an interesting matchup with you guys. But I think,

114
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 4: I mean, your regions kind of tough. And I in

115
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 4: my years of Stanford, Texas and State, we play each

116
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 4: other a few times. I think I played at Shall,

117
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 4: we played at home, we played in the A I

118
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 4: want to say, a few years ago. So I'm excited

119
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 4: to see if you guys get another rematch because that's

120
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 4: always really fun to watch. But looking into some of

121
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 4: the other corners of the bracket, I'm really interested by

122
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 4: the one that's Iowa, LSU and UCLA.

123
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: That is the toughest region that.

124
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: Is the toughest region.

125
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: I feel like.

126
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 4: There's so many different storylines. So is there a certain

127
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 4: game that you want to see come out of that region.

128
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: I mean, I definitely want to see I think another

129
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: Iowa and like LSU.

130
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely want to see how that's gonna go. There's

131
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 4: the other one, South Carolina. And we talked about Oklahoma earlier,

132
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 4: and so I feel like Oklahoma didn't get that Big

133
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 4: Twelve tournament like they wanted, same thing with Indiana the

134
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 4: Big Ten. So having that matchup, I feel it could

135
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 4: be really interesting as well. Yeah, I think people kind

136
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 4: of forget ohu oh.

137
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 3: He is a great team.

138
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: Like I said, we've lost to them twice, so we

139
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: know how a good of a team they are. We're

140
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: getting the season the count and start out a little

141
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: slow and in a conference they picked it up a lot. Yeah,

142
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: and they're really a good team that like they play

143
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: South Carolina, they don't get so run for their money.

144
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: They might not have the biggest posts, but they like

145
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: they are like a whole guard, but they run the

146
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: court very well.

147
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 2: No, you're completely right.

148
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 4: I feel like they do fall under the radar, similar

149
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 4: to kind of the Big Twelve as a whole.

150
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: Honestly, I feel like you hear a lot about PAC.

151
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 4: Twelve, sec A SEC Big ten, but Big twelve been

152
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 4: under the radar.

153
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 2: But you guys have seven teams in the tournament this year.

154
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 4: So do you feel like you know you guys are

155
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 4: gonna gain some more respect for the conference.

156
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 2: Even though you're leaving this year.

157
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 4: Do you feel like the Big twelve deserves more respect

158
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 4: in terms of the talent that they have.

159
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: I think it does, honestly. Like the teams that's in

160
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: the tournament, they're very good. I mean, you got West Virginia,

161
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: a good defensive team that might play like Iowa, which

162
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: I think that's another gonna be another great matchup, just

163
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: their defense while I was offense.

164
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 3: I think that's one to look out for. K State

165
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 3: KSE State is there?

166
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: Tally is there?

167
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 3: Really good?

168
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

169
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: I like the way they play. They're big as unstoppable. Seriously,

170
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: Lee is incredible and their point guard we well, we

171
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: call it Sunny D Sundale.

172
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 3: She's she's a great guard, very smart.

173
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: Our State they got twelve.

174
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 4: I mean I'm not only referring to her Sunny D

175
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 4: from even though I've never met her.

176
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: It's sunny D from now on, if I ever meet

177
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 2: her and be like, what's up, sunny D.

178
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 4: We besties. But I think about the tournament. I want

179
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 4: to get into the madness a little bit. And these

180
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 4: next questions are brought to you by our lovely sponsor, Wendy's. So,

181
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 4: have there been any teams this year that have made

182
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 4: you kind of do a double take and been like

183
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 4: they can really make some noise heading into postseasons. I know,

184
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 4: for me, I've seen some teams that haven't gotten as

185
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 4: much love in the beginning and then all of a sudden.

186
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 2: Two seeds, three seeds in this tournament right now.

187
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: I feel like a team that actually like might do

188
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: a great run. It's Ohio State, even though they're a

189
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: two seeds. Yeah, I feel like people know they're good,

190
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: but they don't they don't know how good they are.

191
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

192
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: Like, I feel like they're very good, very underrated, and

193
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: kind of very quietly. They're not always like on the headlines. Yeah,

194
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: but I feel that they gonna do good in tournament.

195
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 4: I see it too, because they like, they've had a

196
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 4: lot of ups and downs, and so I feel like

197
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 4: if they can peek at the right time, they'll be good,

198
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 4: and I feel like another one for me, speaking from

199
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 4: a Pac twelve bias, is Oregon State.

200
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: Is tough, Like they came out of nowhere this season.

201
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that that surprised me a lot. Actually this year.

202
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 4: I'm excited to see them. And then more on a

203
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 4: on an individual side, what players have really impressed you

204
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 4: this season that you feel like are really going to

205
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 4: make some noise.

206
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 3: In the tournament. I feel like my whole freshman class.

207
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, good answer, My whole freshman class is gonna do

208
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: well in the tournament.

209
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 4: I mean, y'all been hooping all season, like half like

210
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 4: half your freshman class got their respective conference tournament's mops,

211
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 4: which is kind.

212
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 2: Of crazy, like how was that? How was that happening?

213
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 4: But I think it's just so exciting for not only

214
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 4: your class, but just showing the talent that we have

215
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 4: coming out of high school is huge. But you had

216
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 4: your first season on your belt playing in the Big Twelve,

217
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 4: And I feel like sometimes these neutral sites, especially like

218
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 4: the Big Twelve tournament now moving into March Madness, they

219
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 4: don't always feel neutral the way that fans travel. So

220
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 4: in your experience, what do you feel like is the

221
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 4: craziest fan base.

222
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 2: I will state, oh, oh that was quick.

223
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 3: I would state that was quick.

224
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 2: Okay, why I was stay?

225
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 3: They just rolling deep.

226
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

227
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: We were in Kansas, Kansas City for Big Twelve and

228
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: we played them last game. Everybody, everybody, nay, Mama was there.

229
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 2: I love that. I would not have guessed Iowa State.

230
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: Their fans ride hard for them, k State two. Okay,

231
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: I like to right there. Yeah, that's a you win

232
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: like in their home place.

233
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 4: Oh, it gets nasty, it's crazy.

234
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 2: Okay, yep, yep, I got you.

235
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 4: And then we talked a little bit about, you know,

236
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 4: the Big Twelve kind of getting slept on, and I

237
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 4: feel like with that, a lot of just like individual

238
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 4: superstars don't get us much pub as we see in

239
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,599
Speaker 4: other conferences. And so you guys have a lot of

240
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 4: talented players. Who has been the toughest guard, like the

241
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 4: player that you guys had to circle on your scouting

242
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 4: report every time you saw.

243
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 3: Them, toughest guard.

244
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: H that's so I would give definitely credit to West

245
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: Virginia guard JJ Quickley.

246
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 2: Really Okay, she's it.

247
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't think she gives enough like credit. Okay, Like

248
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: for her defense, she won.

249
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 3: Defensive Player of our conference this year.

250
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: But her offenses, I mean, she's probably I think she

251
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: scored like thirty like three times in our conference.

252
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 2: Okay, she's like that then thirty balls, Yeah you're like that.

253
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh she's good. She's good.

254
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: We played them once, but very hard to deal with.

255
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm gonnaed to keep my eye on her in

256
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 4: the tournament because I honestly have not watched Best Virginia

257
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 4: as much as I should have, So I'm gonnaed.

258
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 2: To be looking out. But with the tournament being here,

259
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 2: I want to give some players.

260
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 4: Their flowers, like we've been doing a little bit heading

261
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 4: the madness, and so I want you to give me

262
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 4: a quick scouting report without giving way the Texas secret,

263
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 4: so that VIC doesn't get upset with you. Give me

264
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 4: a quick scout of Peytonvillehurst on Oklahoma, who I feel

265
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 4: like has really coming to her own.

266
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 2: Yes, she's good, Yeah, she's just good.

267
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: She get her off the three point line, yeah, gear

268
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: her off the three point line. Don't let her face

269
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: cut you, but you know, also get off the three

270
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: point line.

271
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 3: She's very good. I mean the same.

272
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: Time we play like, oh you you were up, and

273
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: she comes down like she comes out what second or

274
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: third quarter, she had two step back threes on this.

275
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: I said, there's no way, there's no way. Yea, there's

276
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: no way. Nah, she's good. Keep her off the three

277
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: point line. I would say, she gets hides very easily.

278
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hate.

279
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 4: I hate when you start a quarter like that, you know,

280
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 4: and then they just they just get off and you're like,

281
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,240

282
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:52,760

287
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,040

00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 4: I feel like I could take out the knees and

319
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 4: just kind of keep pushing from there.

320
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,359
Speaker 2: But I like kangaroo. I like kangaroo.

321
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 4: Okay, so let's jump it back into your basketball roots

322
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 4: for a minute. You're from Mississippi. Your dad is six ten,

323
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 4: so I feel like that already helps. But who first

324
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 4: put the ball in your hands? How did you get

325
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 4: into basketball?

326
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 3: My dad? I would say.

327
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: He came in my room one day and put a

328
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: little plastic goal in my room, and I just started

329
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: opening ever.

330
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 2: Since then meant to be so is he your coach?

331
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 3: Growing up a little bit, I didn't like it being

332
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 3: my coach.

333
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,599
Speaker 2: Oh, I get that you need those boundaries.

334
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 3: I need to see them all day.

335
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, I see it. Growing up.

336
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 4: Do you feel like there was a certain player that

337
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 4: you watched and kind of modeled your game after?

338
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: So in my earliers, I was a botch of Celtics fan,

339
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: so I watched me too, Roger Roundo, uh huh. I

340
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: used to wear the headband like him. I just want

341
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: to be a point guard like him. Love it, love

342
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: it porn guard.

343
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 3: You know.

344
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: I kind of got too tall, so I had to

345
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: move to the wing, so I was in the point guard,

346
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: but I was just I mean, like, I love this game.

347
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 3: I had posters like in my room with him.

348
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: Growing up, and then kind of switched to so I'm bigger,

349
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: So I kind of went to more of Carmelo Kevin

350
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: the Rent.

351
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 3: I used to watch Highlight send them all the time

352
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 3: those game.

353
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I love that, And I mean you're still

354
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 4: playing point guard now, so maybe we can throw the

355
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 4: headband back.

356
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: On throw back, you know, keep it going. Maybebe I

357
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: would love to see it.

358
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 4: But when did you I feel like there's always a

359
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 4: point in time growing up when you're kind of like, Okay,

360
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 4: you know I love basketball and playing whatnot.

361
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 2: I want to play forever.

362
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 4: But there's a point in time where you hit it

363
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 4: like I could really do something with this. You know,

364
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 4: I could play collegeball, I could go pro, play to

365
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 4: school like Texas. So when was that time for you

366
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 4: and you realized like wow, like I'm kind of getting

367
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 4: better than everybody around me, like I'm gonna take this

368
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 4: to the next level.

369
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: It was probably when I got my first offer that

370
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: was eighth grade.

371
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 2: I was like, Oka, yeah that's early.

372
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 3: You're like, okay, I might actually be good at this.

373
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

374
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 4: How was the exposure like in Mississippi, Like, was it

375
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 4: playing on the best AAU team, was it playing.

376
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 2: In a different city? How did you kind of get recruited?

377
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: So that's the thing, Mississippi really wasn't that big on

378
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: because I mean Missippi's is a football state. Yeah, so

379
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: really basketball wasn't getting no exposure really like any other

380
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: sports other than football.

381
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 3: Wasn't getting that much exposure.

382
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: Maybe baseball here and there, but for basketball, it really

383
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: wasn't anything. I mean, a few players came out of

384
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: Mississippi and they have great careers in the league and

385
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: the pros. So I didn't play like travel ball miss

386
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: to be I wouldn't kind of out of state to

387
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: get my exposure. So in seventh grade, I played for

388
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: a Nike team, uh Dela with them Southern Stars, and

389
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: I mean from their own I stayed with them and

390
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: they've been treating me right ever since.

391
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: Oh I love that.

392
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 4: I feel like it's so much fun to stay with

393
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 4: a team for that long because like those girls become

394
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 4: your best friends, you know, and so you really get

395
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 4: to see like that top talent and you know everybody.

396
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 4: Now that you're in college, you still know all the

397
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 4: top talent around you, and so talk about your freshman

398
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 4: class like we did earlier. Do you remember playing any

399
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 4: of them in travel ball or in high school and

400
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 4: that now you're.

401
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 2: Still competing against them at the same level.

402
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: Now, we didn't played okay because a lot of people

403
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: in my class they played up. They always played up,

404
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: and I always played my grade because I was like,

405
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: like if I'm not dominating in my in my class,

406
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna play up, so I'm gonna just stay.

407
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: And plus, I mean it's not like I wasn't getting

408
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: better or I wasn't getting like exposure. I was still

409
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: getting the same exposure. I was like, I would stay

410
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: my class. But I never really played against people in

411
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: Marfish class. Now I remember like going to camp, seeing them,

412
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: like I always said, blue Star camp.

413
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 3: When did you eighth grade?

414
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: Yeah?

415
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 3: Maybe, I think, And she was good then and still

416
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 3: thriving to the best player in our class.

417
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 4: Well, no, I mean that's I always say, that's so

418
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 4: cool because like going to USA basketball camps, doing all

419
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 4: these different things, and you get to know these people

420
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 4: and then you see them thriving and it's like, not

421
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 4: only can you be a fan of them, but you're

422
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 4: also their peers, right, And so I know I had

423
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 4: that relationship with people like Jordan Horston's I cooked Leah Boston.

424
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 2: And then now when we're still on.

425
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 4: The big stages, like you can still have that person

426
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 4: you can confide in because they're going through the same things.

427
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 4: I feel like that's always been so special. But talking

428
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 4: about your recruiting, what made you want to choose Texas.

429
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: What was it about Texas that was like, yeah, that's

430
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 2: for me.

431
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 3: So, I mean I always tell people I go back

432
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 3: to like Kocheffer.

433
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 1: He recruited me since I was in eighth grade, and

434
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: I kind of fall back on what he did in

435
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: Missippi State, Like I knew he knew how to win,

436
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: he did it before. He definitely had a player like

437
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: me before in like Victory, Vimios and Missby State like

438
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: we had.

439
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 3: So we had a great.

440
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: Relationship all them years, and so I trusted him that

441
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: he could help me be the best player I can be.

442
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 2: I love that.

443
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 4: I mean, I feel like seeing Vic's journey Fromssissippi State

444
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 4: to Texas is so cool because like when they beat

445
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 4: Yukon in the Final four a few years ago with

446
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 4: Morgan and Victorian and all that, that was like a

447
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 4: shift in women's basketball. It was like it's not one

448
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 4: team anymore. And so tell me what it's like playing

449
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 4: for a coach. I can because I've been on the

450
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 4: other side. He is intense and it's a lot, So like,

451
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 4: what is it like playing for somebody who's that passionate

452
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 4: and that hyped up and all these different things?

453
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 1: Every day He's very intense. Yeah, he practice is our

454
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: practices are very intense. I think people don't understand that.

455
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: I feel like because like I talked to like other

456
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: players of course, and they're like, yeah, practice.

457
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 3: Kind of slight to Hi. I'm like, dang. I'm like dang,

458
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 3: I wish I was you.

459
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: You know it is always our practice are always defense,

460
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: really defense, defense, defense, And you know, I'm not gonna

461
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: say I just hate defense.

462
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 3: I love Offenwitch.

463
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 2: You're like, so can we get a balance, Let's get

464
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 2: some shots up.

465
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 3: It's a balance here and there.

466
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: But I mean I also kind of came to Texas

467
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 1: for him, but also because I want to like get

468
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: better on defense. So a very test coach. He's very

469
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: passionate about the game. I love it. He loves the game. Yeah,

Speaker 2: I love that.

473
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 4: I love I love hearing that, like what we see

474
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 4: what from the outside on TV.

Speaker 2: On the court, you get that every day and I

476
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 2: love it. It's the same energy every day.

477
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 4: Texas as a whole right now, you guys are kind

478
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 4: of like an up and coming young team with Rory

479
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 4: Aaliyah out of Gas and Shaley Gonzalez kind of being

480
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 4: that veteran presence for you guys, but having all these different.

481
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 2: Young pieces, new pieces, all you guys coming together.

482
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 4: What were those first practices like in the summer first practices.

483
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 3: Uh, I'm trying to remember. I feel like a long

484
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 3: long time ago.

485
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 4: You may have blocked it out my first practices, I've

486
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 4: blocked those things out.

487
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 2: I didn't.

488
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: I mean, shoot, it was more kind of like one

489
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: on one workouts really until we started our kind of group.

490
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: It was very intense, everybody talking. You know, leaders on

491
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: the court. Definitely, you have Rory being a leader, Shaye

492
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: Lee Leash, Shae Holly on like Emil on the sideline,

493
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: still recovering from my injury. So I mean really, when

494
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: I got to campus, I was really looking up to

495
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: like to them, people just listening, really just taking advice.

496
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: But I think one of the first things they told

497
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: me was make sure you run to every drill.

498
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

499
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 2: You learned that quick.

500
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 3: You learn that you run every drill.

501
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

502
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 3: And also it was great.

503
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: I liked it definitely because I saw because like in

504
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: like high school, you know, you don't see people like

505
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: punning up extra work. But I got here and you

506
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: see them getting forty five minutes before a practice just

507
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: getting up shots and I've never seen that before.

508
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 3: And when I came off, was like, oh, y'all do this?

509
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: Yeah oh and it was like uh yeah, I was,

510
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,479
Speaker 1: you know, and then like everybody else doing it like

511
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: so we all just like puting up extra like just

512
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: like doing extra work.

513
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 3: So, you know, just that environment right there was just

514
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 3: cool to be in.

515
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

516
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 4: I feel like I couldn't agree more. Like college has

517
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 4: all those different intricate things that are so different from high.

518
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: School, whether it be you know, running from drill to drill.

519
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 4: I know, the thing at Stanford was like water breaks

520
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 4: are twenty seconds, Like if you get one, it's over there,

521
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 4: sip in your back on the court, like it's all

522
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 4: those little things, y'all.

523
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: The water breaks are like nowhere to be found.

524
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: There's no water breaks. You tired about a drill, may

525
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: get some water real quick.

526
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, I get subbed for a drill. I'm running to

527
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 4: my water because I'm not gonna get that again.

528
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 2: It's the one and done situation.

529
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 4: But you came into college a small forward, as we

530
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 4: talked about, you know, being a bigger guard, but now

531
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 4: you're playing strictly PG for the most part.

532
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 2: So what has that shift been like for you? I

533
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 2: mean it seems like it's gone.

534
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 4: Well, is it a seamless Is it a seamless as

535
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 4: a transition as you make it seem.

536
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 2: To be or what was that like?

537
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: Uh?

538
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 3: It was hard, I would say, I would say just

539
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 3: really just.

540
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: A PG roll is hard in general, Like you have

541
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: the ball in your hands most of the game, You're

542
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: making decisions all the time, you're handling the ball all

543
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: the time, you're handling pressure, you're breaking presses, like, you're

544
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: doing a lot of things, and you still got to

545
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: run a team.

546
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 2: Yes, and.

547
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 3: That was probably the hardest thing.

548
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, And just also like the vision I had as

549
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: a wing player, because I mean I was still like

550
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: a past first time wing player ball, so I would

551
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: score when I you know, had my shots to take.

552
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: But then moving to point guards, still past first mentality,

553
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: Like the court just changes, like the how you view

554
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: the court, how you make reads, it all changes. And

555
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: so I mean it was a struggle first half of

556
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: the conference. It was a struggle turned the ball over,

557
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: you know, just making bad reads, not seeing it read

558
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 1: quick enough. Like I'll get yelled at, But I mean

559
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: I took it as a learning moment and like after

560
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,479
Speaker 1: every game, I'm going to a film like seeing what

561
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: I did wrong, what I can do better, just to

562
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: help me out.

563
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 3: And I mean my more theme when I.

564
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 1: Asked coach what do I need to do to be

565
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: better for my team as a point guard, and he said,

566
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: I need you to have limit on like basically your turnovers.

567
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: And so that's been the main thing I've been working on.

568
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: And I can say our last game, I had zero turnovers.

569
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: So he was very proud about that. I was proud

570
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: about that too.

571
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 2: Oh that's big, big yes.

572
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: So I mean I would say like it was probably

573
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: the hardest transition, but I mean my teammates side confidence

574
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: in me.

575
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 3: I didn't even have that. My coaching staff did too.

576
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: And I think just getting very like overwhelmed at it,

577
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: but just taking it all in, just taking one day

578
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: at a time and also wanted to grow in that aspect.

579
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 3: I think it helped me become playeronium today.

580
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 4: Well, I mean I feel like we've from the outside

581
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,479
Speaker 4: been able to see that growth that you've had. Like

582
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 4: it's hard to be a point guard in general, it's hard,

583
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 4: but like freshman year point guard transitioning from being a

584
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 4: wing to a point guard.

585
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 2: It's a lot going on, and I think what you

586
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 2: said about the vision.

587
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,239
Speaker 4: From a wing to a point guard, and also just

588
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 4: like you have to take yourself out of just playing

589
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 4: one position when you're the point guard, not only I

590
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 4: think the biggest thing for me is like, oh my gosh,

591
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 4: I'm the one who has to call the place.

592
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: Like I'm up here dribbling it in my head and

593
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 2: I'm like.

594
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 3: Oh, play and you can't think of one quick enough.

595
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 2: Everybody's looking at you and I'm like horns, I don't know.

596
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 2: And it's so stressful.

597
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 4: Up there and they have to be loud, and it's

598
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 4: like understanding what actions your teammates like to play off of.

599
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 4: You know, Shaley may not like the same thing as

600
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 4: Shay or Aliah may like it on a different block than Diatta.

601
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 2: Like there's a lot of different things going on.

602
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 3: And you know what, I go to this just that

603
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 3: one right there?

604
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So tell me about how you and

605
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 4: watching film is hard. Let me tell you, like watching

606
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 4: your I'm like, that's not me out there.

607
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, who threw that turnover? That's a different person. I

608
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 2: don't know who that Haley was, Like, I don't know.

609
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 4: But how has it been for you being able to

610
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 4: watch film learn from your stakes, but also like learn

611
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 4: about your teammates and what they want, because that's really

612
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 4: what like sets apart a great point guard, you know,

613
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 4: it's understanding how to get your teammate in the best shots.

614
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's all about the communication. I think that's

615
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: top one. And also you know, going through practices, just

616
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 1: going through different things with them, going through different like

617
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: plays with them, seeing what they like more, how they

618
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: played on each like set we run, just me looking

619
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: at that. And also I mean like going back during

620
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: the film, just seeing like how the defense was planned,

621
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: like what I could have called differently, a past I

622
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: could have made differently, Like It's just little stuff like that.

623
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: But I think the main thing is communication, just seeing

624
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: what they like, how they feel.

625
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 2: I agree. I agree film really helps.

626
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,959
Speaker 4: Like I hate watching it sometimes because I'm like disgusting, Haley,

627
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,239
Speaker 4: what was that? But talking about film, I know I

628
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 4: had many film horror stories both at Stanford.

629
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 2: And in Atlanta.

630
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 4: Did you have, like, you know, a welcome to college

631
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 4: ball moment or like a film horror.

632
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 2: Story from your freshman year so far?

633
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 4: I don't know if maybe it's just a me thing

634
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 4: because I remember freshman year, I through had like six

635
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 4: turnovers in a game.

636
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 2: Oh, we watched all six in front of everybody. It's like,

637
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 2: oh awesome. Yeah.

638
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 4: No.

639
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: So we played at West Virginia this year and I

640
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 1: had I had a double dough Okay, I could have

641
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: had almost a quadrup Yeah. Yeah, I had like double

642
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: ditches and points. I had ten rebounds. Yeah, I had

643
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 1: like seven assists.

644
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 3: I think I had eight turnovers.

645
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 2: Oh, that'll do it.

646
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: So you know, I always like watched film by myself

647
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: with like one of my coaches. Yeah, and I watched

648
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: all turnovers. Yeah everyone, I played them twice. She did

649
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: them twice. Yes, and she was like what is this yes,

650
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: and so you know, I was like, that's not me.

651
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: It won't happen ever again.

652
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

653
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: You know, I'm thinking, you know, we go to the

654
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: film room, I'm thinking, we're not going to watch them again,

655
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: and we watch them again and again, and it's like, coach,

656
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this is a lot of turnovers.

657
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I remember. It was always so bad.

658
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 4: When they ask you what were you thinking, I was like, well,

659
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 4: I thought it was going to work out. I did not,

660
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 4: you know, coach, I apologize because like that wasn't my intention.

661
00:27:58,680 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 3: I didn't think I was gonna turn the ball over,

662
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 3: but for sure it happened.

663
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 4: It happened, and you know, you know what I tell them,

664
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 4: what I want to say, what I don't actually say

665
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 4: is I'm like, you know, guys, next play mentality, let's

666
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 4: leave it in the past.

667
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 3: Let's move forward.

668
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 4: Let's move forward. Let's move forward. Honestly, But your freshman season,

669
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 4: I feel like you had a huge breakout game. I

670
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 4: watched it firsthand, twenty points against Yukon, which was huge.

671
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 4: Do you feel like something changed for you in that

672
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 4: game moving into the rest of the season, like a

673
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 4: confidence boost? What was that game for you?

674
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: Like, well, like beginning of the season, I think I

675
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: probably had I probably was the best. Afterwardy I would

676
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: say she was a better scorer than I was, just

677
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: because she had experience on me. But I was probably

678
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: like one of the better scores on the team that

679
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: can get my own shot. Yeah, and so we're gonna

680
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: see some kind of trouble for me to make shots,

681
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: but like they were good shots.

682
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 3: I'll take them.

683
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: I make them in practice, but like in a game,

684
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: it was different, like they wasn't falling. So I think

685
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,239
Speaker 1: kind of leading up to Yukon game, I started like

686
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,959
Speaker 1: trusting the process, trusting what my coaches want me to shoot,

687
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: and that Ukun game was just a prime example, like

688
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: I really was in Russian shots. I took the shots

689
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: that came within the offense. And so I mean they

690
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: feel they fell through the hoop.

691
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 2: Okay, So we talked a little about your teammates earlier.

692
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 4: You got Shale Gonzalez and Eliah Moore both two thousand

693
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 4: point scores, which is insane. They have two on one team,

694
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 4: but also great team players. So talk to me a

695
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,719
Speaker 4: little bit about what those two bring to the team.

696
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: Shaldon Gonzales, I'll start. She's like the grandmother of our team.

697
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: She's a six year senior. Well I'm on the corporate here.

698
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: She brings a sense of calmness. I mean she has

699
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: a lot of experience on like O me, I'm a freshman,

700
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: like handle the team. So like in late game situations,

701
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: if game's close, she definitely like helps me just slow

702
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: down and sometimes she will help me with the ball.

703
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: That that helps a lot. She's a great scorer, she's

704
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: a great leader. She might not talk a lot, but

705
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: she lead through her actions.

706
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 3: Emo.

707
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: She's like a big sister. Definitely very vocal. She's different

708
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: from Shayley vocal on court, always talking. She's definitely like

709
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: our team's energy, Like she brings all the energy. After

710
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: ann one, she has the most energy. Uh, just like celebrating.

711
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: I mean, two different people, but great leaders in her

712
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: own role.

713
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 4: Well, I've seen it firsthand. Mo be bringing all the energy.

714
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 4: Oh my god, she'd be hyping y'all up.

715
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 2: And I'm on the other team. I'm like, whoa, whoa

716
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 2: piped out. Don't get them, don't get them, roll up.

717
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 2: We don't we don't need this right now.

718
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 4: But I feel like, you guys have so many different

719
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 4: pieces that you talked about, but losing a big one

720
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 4: in Rory back in December tells me about what that cause.

721
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 4: I feel like seeing her still on the screen, seeing

722
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 4: her through social media, she still seems so engaged, And

723
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 4: so what is it like to have somebody who is

724
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 4: that crucial to the team still be so engaged on

725
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 4: the sideline becoming another coach. I see her with her

726
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 4: whiteboard during every game, She's locked in. What has that

727
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 4: been like for you to be able to learn from her.

728
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, she's been in my ear. Just helped

729
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 4: me also with the role, this PG role, I mean

730
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 4: great advice. She sees the court tremendously well. I think

731
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 4: that's also how I've kind of grown to be in

732
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 4: a better point guard, not the best, but a little better.

733
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 4: Not her way, You're doing great, you know.

734
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 3: She just you know, she is always in practice. She's talking.

735
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: She's telling us, you know, we have this new thing

736
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: where you get three stops in a row, it's a kill,

737
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, try to get seven kills. And so she

738
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: kind of came up with that theory just to help

739
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: us be more basically like defensively engaged on defense. So,

740
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: I mean she's always talking, she's always there. She always

741
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: bring energy, she's always hyping us up. You know, she's

742
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: basically like coach second voice. You know, when when we

743
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: have a question, we go to her, she's like the

744
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: second person will go to is because sheffer than her.

745
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: I mean she's basically to him, just in a smaller person,

746
00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: smaller voice. But yeah, she's definitely engaged, happy just to

747
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: have or just like just basically smell on her face.

748
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, So back to you and your style of play.

749
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 4: What do you feel like has been the biggest area

750
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 4: of growth that you've seen in your game from the

751
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 4: beginning of the season to now.

752
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 3: Just finding my spot on the like on the floor. Yeah,

753
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 3: I think I found my spot.

754
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 2: I can see that you have a lot of spots. Girlfriend.

755
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 2: Let me tell you it's not just one. You have

756
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 2: a lot of spots on.

757
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, we'll talk to us about you being a

758
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 4: three level scoring threat and how you're able to still

759
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 4: get to your spots and like you becoming who you

760
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 4: have been in the Big Twelve, being co Player of

761
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 4: the Year, being Freshman the Year, all these different things.

762
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,719
Speaker 4: Scouts throw different things at you every game. I'm sure

763
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 4: you see it in that and that out there, playing

764
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 4: on ball screens differently and all these different things. So

765
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 4: how do you feel like you've been able to adjust

766
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 4: to whatever any team throws that you, having different defenders

767
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 4: on you, whether it throw so many bigger, smaller, and

768
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 4: still being able to get to your spots.

769
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: And you do it at a very efficient rate. I

770
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: think it just comes with the part of being a

771
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: very poised person. I don't really I mean, I see

772
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,479
Speaker 1: things thrown in me and I'm like Okay, that happened.

773
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: We'll get through it. It's basically like that. I don't

774
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: really try to get too fast, like I know my

775
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: game like my game like it's not gonna be all fast,

776
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: all shifty is very very vanilla.

777
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 4: Very fundamental, fundamentally fundamental vanilla.

778
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: You know I'm gonna try to get through the screen,

779
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: You're gonna still be right there, be right there and

780
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: wna pull up. I mean, like you're short to me.

781
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: I'm taking one jear will pull up kind of taller

782
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: than me.

783
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 3: I might go to the room.

784
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: So I mean, it's just really just taking a one

785
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: stition at a time, like I know things are going

786
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: to be thrown in me.

787
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 3: Just to stop me, but just staying poised about it all.

788
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 4: Wow, you are so wise, so young, and so wise

789
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 4: Madison truly, But talking about those different reads that you're making,

790
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 4: you know, coming off an all ball screen, knowing who

791
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 4: your defender is, and what advantages that you have being

792
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 4: both big guards as we are, What do you feel

793
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 4: like are some of the pros and cons that you

794
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 4: see from being a big guard. I think it's definitely

795
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 4: more pros than cons. But sometimes when I have like

796
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 4: somebody tiny picking me up full court, back up. Yes,

797
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 4: that's so annoying.

798
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 2: Why are you doing that? So talk to me? What

799
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 2: are the pros and cons?

800
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: Con is just little guards picking me up first game

801
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 1: being point guard play Baylor.

802
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 3: M hm, Jada their point guard. It's like she's she's

803
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 3: top six. I think, pick me up full court and

804
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 3: I was like, there's no way.

805
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 2: There's no way somebody can get the balls. That's what

806
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 2: I'll be thinking, Please.

807
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 3: Please get the ball. Oh, I was saying.

808
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: Pros are you know? I just like basically shit over people.

809
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: I'm six to one.

810
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, mismatched everywhere.

811
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 3: You know, you're like a bigger person guard than me.

812
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 3: You know you're a FOURD.

813
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: Maybe Oh this matchup, I want right here and be

814
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 1: a little guard. I won't post you up. Another con.

815
00:34:58,960 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 1: I don't think there's.

816
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 2: And it's a yeah, I agree.

817
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 4: I feel like there's sony pros with the mismatches or

818
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 4: just being able to run different reads.

819
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 2: No matter what your matchup is, there's an advantage that

820
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 2: you have. But I agree.

821
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 4: I had Dana Evans picking me up this year, ma'am.

822
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 4: I don't need this extra stratege life, Like, I really don't.

823
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 4: If people want to run away as soon as they

824
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 4: see you with that, and it's like, why are you

825
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:25,240
Speaker 4: being selfish?

826
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 2: You see me? I thought we were cool? Like what

827
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:27,959
Speaker 2: is this about?

828
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 3: Maybe to is that be under your knees?

829
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 2: Just yes, just annoying honestly, So I don't need that

830
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 2: in my life.

831
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 4: But we talked about you kind of having this like

832
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 4: finesse on offense right fundamental rather than vanilla. But when

833
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 4: did you learn or kind of gain that ability to

834
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 4: slow the game down and let it come to you?

835
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 4: Because I think a lot of times people get so

836
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 4: sped up, especially as a freshman playing in a new league.

837
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 4: Big twelve is grade defensively, how are you able to

838
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 4: to you know, slow your game down not get rushed?

839
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 4: Say so, just like like we talked about you being

840
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 4: so wise, so mature, Where does that come from?

841
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, it's my personality.

842
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: Like I'm really just a neutral person like I we

843
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: don't get too high about things, get too low about things.

844
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: You know, people say I'm awkward when we're like basically

845
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: like in rewards, but it's just like uh huh, thank

846
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: you for the award. But it's like next thing like

847
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: thank thank you, and it's yes, okay, But I mean

848
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: it's just kind of been to me since I was young,

849
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: and I kind of like put that to my game.

850
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: Wi's being a chill, Just relax.

851
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 3: We got this.

852
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 2: It's just you, Okay.

853
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: I like that.

854
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 4: So Kevin Durant, you're also wearing thirty five at Texas.

855
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 4: He's an active Texas alum. Have you had a chance

856
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 4: to interact with him, because I know he said you're

857
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 4: gonna have thirty five retired.

858
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 2: On the women's side, what do we feel about that?

859
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 2: You're a Katie fan. How are we feeling?

860
00:36:58,440 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 3: Oh?

861
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, I saw like I said, what we

862
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 2: say one day at a time.

863
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,719

867
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 3: on life.

868
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 4: You're just scratching the surface, which is crazy to think,

869
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 4: but it's also so exciting. But it's our first postseason.

870
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 4: You're heading into March Madness number one seed. What's the

871
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 4: mindset or of both you but also the locker room

872
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 4: heading into the tournament? Because it seems like you guys

873
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 4: are peaking at the right time. You're just coming off

874
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 4: the Big twive tournament.

875
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 2: When so what is it?

876
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,479
Speaker 4: You know, what's the mindset? What are the vibes heading

877
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 4: into first weekend of March Madness right now?

878
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, we know that we have takets across

879
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: our tests. We're going to the SEC. We just won

880
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 1: Big twelve. We are now one seed. No, we know

881
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: it's a lot of pressure. Not everybody want to beat you.

882
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: You're one seed. We know that people think that we

883
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: should have been one seed, so that's not mine's like

884
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,399
Speaker 1: we have to prove them wrong. But I just think

885
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: the more're thinking about it is we have to be high.

886
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: In a Big twelve tournament. We were high, and I

887
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: think we just stay high, taking one day at a

888
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: time and just stay poised.

889
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 3: Like me. Whoa will be just.

890
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:19,200

00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,879
Speaker 2: You're levelheaded and that's what every team needs. It's that person.

898
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,439
Speaker 4: Wow, I'm weak, Okay, so baking to it. We talked

899
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 4: about the success coming off.

900
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,759

00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 2: you know, I.

902
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 4: Feel like you guys do have a little bit of

903
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,439
Speaker 4: a target on your back. Right Big twelve, you're number

904
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 4: one seed. What does it feel like last year? You're

908
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,000

912
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 4: stay where your feet are? Because I know for me,

913
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 4: as you get into the tournament, if you guys make

914
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 4: a final for a run, like it's hard not to

915
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 4: get caught up in all the noise. There's extra media

916
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 4: that you're doing, you're traveling, you're doing all these different things.

917

00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 4: feet are?

920
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: I mean basically just right now, I mean we're taking

921
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: our first point. It seriously, like, I mean, we know

922
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 1: they're a sixteen ceed, but it's anybody game, like anybody
