1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I think we've obviously made tremendous strides. Um.

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: The month of October was tough for us. UM, but

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: when you look back to it all, for all of us, it's,

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, something that we went through. We persevered, and

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 1: we came out on the better side of And since

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: we you know, went through that, I think whenever we

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: get in these type of games and things may not

8
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: be going right, momentum is kind of not going our

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: way and you know we may be down. Nobody blinks,

10
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: you know, nobody hesitates, you know, no no negative thoughts

11
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: you know go into our minds, and uh, you know,

12
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: we just know that if we just keep chipping away

13
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: at it, you know, things will go our way. And um,

14
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: you know, personally, I think that tonight wasn't our best performance,

15
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, it's all about

16
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: how you finish and getting wins, you know, especially this

17
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,040

Speaker 1: So this team is found proved only putting that they

41
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: could do well offensively to win games. But what about

42
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,440

48
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: but uh, defense just kept chucking away and they put

49
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: us in position and kept us in the game the

50
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,839
