Playing there? 67 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 3: It was actually good. I mean, they with us a 68 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 3: couple of times. 69 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 2: I mean, but I'm sure there's a lot of fans 70 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 2: out there though, Like they packed it out. They be 71 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 2: turned it up for real, they do, and three on 72 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: three is a really different hate from five on five 73 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 2: for people who don't know the three on three game stole, 74 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 2: especially with what is it fourteen second shot clock all 75 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 2: those different it's twelve Oh my god. Yeah, that's quick. 76 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 2: You gotta be in shape for those ten minutes. And 77 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: so do you feel like there was anything that you're 78 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 2: gonna be able to take from three on three that 79 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: will then be kind of a thing that you're taking 80 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 2: to your next five on five season, a different improvement maybe, 81 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 2: or something that will be able to apply. 82 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 3: Honestly, yes, just moving faster. 83 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: We turn the page faster because you have no time 84 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: to get the soak on a mislay up or soap 85 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: on display because the game go by so fast. So 86 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: it's just like to shake it off. You just once 87 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: sit the next play. I mean, that's all you can do. 88 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, ain't no time for nothing. Really, you got to 89 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 2: turn around and keep it pushion Yep. Yeah. I feel 90 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 2: like three on three it really it shows people like 91 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 2: weaknesses in a different way where it doesn't in five 92 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 2: on five because you have help side, like you got 93 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 2: to lock up one on one d. But I feel 94 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 2: like offensively, like in your college career, you've been a 95 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 2: lot of on the block presence and then three on 96 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 2: three I watched them the games. You are here getting 97 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 2: to do things from the wing, get to the ram, 98 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 2: make moves out the bounce, and so was that cool 99 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 2: to be able to maybe not even add to your 100 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 2: bag because it's always been there, but get to kind 101 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 2: of bring those things out of retirement, maybe give you 102 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 2: some more confidence moving into your senior season. 103 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: I actually do think, yes, I do that actually because 104 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: I mean it's good to just go out there and 105 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: actually play, like, you know, just be freely. 106 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it was yeah, really goodbye, It's happy to 107 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 2: senior season. That's when I'm hearing. I try to see it. 108 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 2: And so thinking about moving forward, you guys have a 109 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: big non conference schedule before you get into SEC play. 110 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 2: So do you feel like there is a game that 111 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 2: circled on the calendar that you guys are really looking 112 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 2: forward to play? Well, me, not really, I mean I'm 113 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 2: just very yeah against me and everybody, But I don't 114 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: know for the team, Like the team hasn't really been 115 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 2: talking about a team that they're like excited to play. 116 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 3: So not quite sure. 117 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 2: I mean I guess that makes sense. You are the 118 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 2: rating Natty Champs everybody's kind of got y'all circle on 119 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 2: the schedule. I'm sure, so y'all are just ready to 120 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like you guys are always the 121 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 2: team that's targeted, you know what I mean? You always 122 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 2: have that target on your back, and so you always 123 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 2: have to have that mindset of like everybody's game when 124 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 2: they play you, is. 125 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 3: There, Natty? Is their busy yep? 126 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 2: With all the different conference re alignments it's been going on, 127 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 2: you guys are adding in. Is it just Texas and 128 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 2: Oklahoma to the SEC this year or is there more 129 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 2: teams as well? 130 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 3: I think it's just them too. 131 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's those two Big ten. I know the PAC 132 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 2: twelve dispersed, which is heartbreaking for me personally. But all 133 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 2: the teams in all the different places, which teams are 134 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 2: you really interested in seeing how they adapt to the 135 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 2: new conferences styles of play? Because I feel like SEC 136 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 2: is very different from the pack as it is from 137 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 2: the Big ten and eight, and so do you think 138 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 2: that there's gonna have to be adjustment or adaptations for 139 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 2: how these teams move through their new conferences? 140 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 3: Honestly, I do, because you know, SEC is probably the 141 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 3: hardest conference right now. Hey, I'm just saying I do. 142 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: Feel like it's going to be like I wouldn't say 143 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: a hard adjustment, but like getting used to like the 144 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: physicality and like how everyone plays and how fast this 145 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: pace is everything. 146 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 2: When it comes to the SEC. So yeah, yeah, I 147 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 2: feel like you might tell you might take them up 148 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 2: a little bit. But other than that, yeah, I think 149 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 2: it'll be really interesting for Texas and Oklahoma because obviously 150 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 2: the Big twelve has physicality, but I don't think, like 151 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 2: you said, it's on the level of the SEC and 152 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 2: also how deep specifically women's basketball is in the SEC. 153 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 2: Even teams like you know, Mississippi State, who may have 154 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 2: up and down years, it is hard to play them, 155 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 2: especially they're like all those different little pieces to it. 156 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: So do you feel like there is an atmosphere that 157 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 2: is like really fun to play at. I know when 158 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 2: we played y'all at South Carolina, like that was lit. 159 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 2: When y'all came to us at Stanford, that was fun. 160 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 2: I remember in the pack playing at Oregon when they 161 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 2: had Sabrina Sattoo and Ruthie. My god, it was loud 162 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 2: in there. Like there's those atmospheres that I always look 163 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 2: forward to. Do you feel like there's something like that. SEC. 164 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 2: I've heard LSU was a crazy place to play Mississippi State. 165 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 2: Where else are big places where they've like. 166 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: Good Tennessee, Like, oh yeah, it's crazy when I say 167 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: Tennessee and probably uh, well, the first time we played 168 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: Mississippi State at Mississippi State, I think I was injured, 169 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: but it was really loud, and I think it was 170 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: the beginning of the game was kind of challenging.

The transition 366 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 2: from high school to college is hard, and I feel 367 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 2: like people don't talk about it. Even being a top 368 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 2: recruit out of high school. You're coming in and it's 369 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 2: like everybody was a top recruit. Everybody did what you did, 370 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 2: and so now it's figuring out how do, like you said, 371 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 2: be Sanai Fagan on that stage and keep everything about you, 372 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 2: but then at the same time taking bits and pieces 373 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 2: from players like Camilla and Aliyah and adapting those to 374 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 2: your own game. And so it's hard, it's humbling. I know, 375 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 2: I was humbled. Oh my gosh, I came in. I 376 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 2: remember I a guard like DJ Carrington my first day 377 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 2: of summer. Do you know where you're picking me up? 378 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 2: Full court? I'm like, girl, give me a break. I'm exhausted. 379 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 2: I'm seventeen, like you're twenty one. Give me a break. 380 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 3: But it's very humbling. 381 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 2: But I think that with the right mindset, it just 382 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 2: leads to more growth. But staying on your freshman year 383 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: a little bit. Winning your freshman year, I feel like 384 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 2: it's such an interesting thing because you're like, Okay, well 385 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 2: we win every year, you know what I mean? Like 386 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 2: it set your mindset to be like, okay, well, how 387 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 2: can it be anything else? And so after winning your 388 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 2: freshman year being the program second Natty, how did that 389 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,719 Speaker 2: kind of shape your mindset to be like, Okay, how 390 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 2: do we continue this for the next four years? Like 391 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 2: is that now an expectation for your class to go for. 392 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: For four Yes, it is an expectation because we want 393 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: to end off winin Natty as well, Like we don't 394 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: want to go home like sad. 395 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 2: Because that's how do you not win? You just go 396 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 2: home off a loss? 397 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: Right, Like the ending of my college career, like I 398 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 1: don't want to go home like sad. I want to 399 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: go home happy. So it's like sure, I feel like 400 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: it is an expectation. That's like we can actually. 401 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 2: Reach that expectation and we okay, all right, I'm with you. 402 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 2: So moving into sophomore year, deep team with Aliyah Breez, listen, 403 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 2: you guys were definitely the team to be and losing 404 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,959 Speaker 2: the eye on the final four heartbreaking and it's an 405 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 2: intense game, huge moment.

I still sat there and tried to like 409 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: let them know that the game isn't over, Like no 410 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 1: matter what, the game isn't over. We have a whole 411 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,959 Speaker 1: another quarter left, Like we can come back.

I think that's so 464 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 2: funny for to hear we had to on and you 465 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 2: guys talking about how like you didn't think that that 466 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 2: was going to be the journey for you guys, and 467 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 2: then having a game like Notre Dame because you guys 468 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 2: like y'all handed it to him in a very like 469 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 2: it was. It was a bit of a whooping for real, 470 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 2: Like I don't think that anybody expected you guys to 471 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 2: win in that manner, you know what I mean? And 472 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,479 Speaker 2: so to hear that, you know, the summer leading up 473 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 2: to it, all these different things, like you guys weren't 474 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 2: feeling that way. It's so interesting, But I see what 475 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 2: you're saying about the team dynamic and team bonding three 476 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 2: times a week. Do you feel like that led into 477 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 2: why you guys were so good? Like having that off 478 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 2: court chemistry led into you know, there's times of people 479 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 2: bigger on the court. That's just the way it works 480 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 2: because of its high competitive game. But you guys being 481 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 2: so close those relationships that you had led into the 482 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 2: success that you ended up having. 483 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: Like you were saying, like they're biggering on the court, 484 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: Like we know how to talk to each other as teammates. 485 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: So like when it came to like someone kept making 486 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 1: the same mistake, we would tell them like come on, 487 00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: like locking, we know you better than what you're doing 488 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: right now, Like yeah, together, and we will talk to 489 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: each other the way that they will understand, but also 490 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: like pushing them to do what they need to do. 491 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: So I'll say it like just bickering and like just 492 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: being there for one another, like if somebody's having an 493 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: off game, like just sticking there and just like like 494 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: you're good, like we got you, Like you have. 495 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 3: A bad game. 496 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: Everybody has bad games, Like we can stick through together 497 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 1: as a team, like and help you get through this, 498 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: but help each other get through this as well. 499 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think those little things are what allows teams 500 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 2: to go the distance, cause seasons are long, things get tough, 501 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 2: people getting tired. But like by the time you get 502 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 2: to a final four to the tournament, when y'all still 503 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 2: like each other and are bought into one another, that's 504 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 2: what lets you keep going. And I think that's so 505 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 2: important where you see a lot of teams with all 506 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 2: the talent in the world, but they don't have that 507 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 2: connectivity that allows them to keep going and get through 508 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 2: those tough times. So I think we all definitely saw 509 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 2: that watching you guys play last year. How connected you were, 510 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 2: and like the bench, like how excited y'all were hyped 511 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 2: up after every bucket, after every small play. 512 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 3: I think it's so genuine. I think it was kind 513 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 3: of genuine. 514 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,479 Speaker 1: It wasn't like fake love, like we wasn't as sure 515 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: you have the fake love, was actually genuine like yeah, 516 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: actually like was happy for one another, happy for each other. 517 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 3: So like it's just like just knowing that we actually 518 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 3: like happy for each other is. 519 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 2: Like yeah, really, yeah for sure, And that's what makes 520 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 2: it fun. Like when you're having fun like that, you're 521 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 2: gonna that's when you have those extra players of diving 522 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 2: on the floor of like Okay, I'm exhausted, but like 523 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 2: I love my teammates, so I'm gonna push through for them. 524 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 2: So I think that leads to so much success. And 525 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 2: you can tell it's genuine, and you could tell when 526 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,479 Speaker 2: it's not, and that's when things go off the rails. 527 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 2: And so talking about last season, I feel like you 528 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 2: guys kind of had some rivalries going on the SEC. 529 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 2: We talked a little bit about LSU and Tennessee and 530 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 2: how hyped up those games were and all eyes nationwide 531 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 2: were on you guys during those matchups.
