Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boocome back cafe or live folks here, live crowd here.
How's dinner? What was the big dinner at him tonight?
What's the specials? You got specials? Anybody quit the meatballs?
Anybody have meatballs? Meatballs are pretty good here. Yeah, there
you go, Paul, good job, Peo pols are good. You
don't have halibate here anymore. I didn't see that on
the menu. I used to eat that all the time.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Here, Aliban. I thought we still had it.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Maybe you do somewhere.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Maybe they hide during the fall and winter. I know
they'll be back in the spring now, I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
All right, there you go. Thanks backcourt. Your juniors are
doing a pretty good job. KKs having a really good
year taking care of the ball. Twenty four and five
assistant turnovers, fourteen steals. Boy, she made a couple of
big plays late in that Michigan game in the fourth quarter.
She's starting to get a little more confidence from three.
(00:48):
But that drive to the hoop that was with confidence,
and that kind of got her going a little bit.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah. I think everything that everything that happens that's positive
happens because you have confidence that you can do it,
you know, like I've never understood why someone who's doesn't
have confidence in themselves tries to do something that they're
(01:14):
not sure, you know. I remember somebody asked Diana and
I used this example with my team. Somebody asked Diana
one time, do you ever feel pressure? Because she never
lost the game that was a season ending game since
(01:36):
two thousand and one when we lost to Notre Dame
in Saint Louis, Okay in and the rest of the
time in those knockout games, she always figured out a
way to win. And the time they lost, Superb made
that three from the corner in Seattle and they won.
(01:58):
And they asked her the pressure. She said, no, I
don't feel any pressure. I know how much time I've
put on the court. I know what I've done to
get ready, and when those moments come, I'm ready for them. Now,
you get these some other players, they maybe don't put
the time in, aren't successful when they put the time in,
but they want to be that person that makes those shots,
(02:20):
and you know, so it's it's for KK. It's been
a yeah. I love the fact that you're taking them.
I like especially you take them at the right time
and then you knock in you know, a couple of them,
like the one the other night, because that's a confidence
builder to know that I, okay, I can do it
in practice, but I can do it in a big game,
(02:41):
in a big moment, not when we're up thirty, you know.
So those are confidence builders, and those prepare you for
the next time that it happens, you know. And then
the drive I think, you know, I think for women's
basketball because the game is played more below the rim. Okay,
(03:06):
these kids are not you know, this is the rim.
Their hands are not here. I mean stuies are, but
their hands are not here. Now they're shooting the ball
from down here a lot of times, and the ball's
got to go aways to get to the rim. So
they've got to, like Page, you really have to spend
a lot of time of how the ball like it's
almost like pool, how the ball is going to spin
(03:26):
off the backboard, and where you want to put it right,
and where's the defender. And that takes time. You know,
it takes time.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
When people saw Page doing it, they go, oh, she
just makes it so easy, you know, she was born
like that. They don't realize how many hours Page spending
the gym by herself practicing all those crazy shots. So
when she did one in the game, for her, that
was nothing. So KK is spending a lot of time
and it's paying off. You know, it's paying off, and
(03:55):
I'm happy for her.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Conversely, we saw Ashland take one of the bucket on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
She's a good free throw shooter. I mean, I imagine
that's I mean, we've talked about this before. You would
like to see her do that more?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Probably? Yeah, I know, I know. I always think that
people who are good free throw shooters should try to
get to the basketball and then get to the free
throw line. So that's something that you know, we're harping on.
I think we're almost I don't think we're last, but
we can see last from the spot we're in a
(04:32):
Thames Per game, a Thames per game that was little
last year too. Yeah, we don't, we don't, we don't shoot.
We got, you know, a bunch of girls staying on
the three point line.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Taking sixty two. Of course, the opponent's only shot fifty nine.
That's still low, though.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I know it's awful. It's like it's like the three
point line is like that thing you put on your
lawns so your dog doesn't run out in the street.
That's how our guys are. They get their three point
line to go and they stop. I'm like what you
it gets shocked? What is it? What is it?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
It's the college you gave them that.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Like you're allowed to drive one side of three point line.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I know that issue with Sarah, she does that. When
she started doing those scoops against Ohio State, maya more
immediately came to mind.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah, she's got a little bit, she got a little
bit of that more stuff in there. You know. Yeah,
you know it's a it's a fine line. You know,
it's a fine line. Because the hardest thing that I
that we had to do when I was coaching the
national team was when you play European teams, and if
you watch now in the NBA, the hardest thing that
(05:39):
we had to try to learn the national team was
when those European guards when they drive it to the basket,
they are not driving it to score. They are driving.
So you come running over to help and prevent the
score so that they can kick it for wide open three.
And in America, you know, somebody drives it, everybody runs
(06:02):
over like, rotate over, block that shot, take a charge whatever.
Well that's exactly what they want you to do, and
then they stop boom boom boom, and there's just three three, three,
and it drives you crazy. So we've been working a
lot on that. That's why we're getting so many open threes,
because we're doing a great job kicking them out. So
I think there's got to be maybe a and I don't.
(06:25):
I think we're averaging like twenty five threes a game.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Twenty yeah, something like that.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yeah, which is a good number for us because we're
I think we're averaging seventy two seventy three shots a
game and.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Now four three, just a little over twenty four.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yeah, and I want I want a third of them
to be threes. So we get seventy five shots a
game or seventy that went, twenty five of them to
be threes. Now, between Ash and Kaylee had goal.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Kaylee's not much of an outside three, right, Yet.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
We are six for thirty five, the two of them
from the three point line. And then Ally's I mean
I said it, and I heard it, so I'm sure
you heard it.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah, six for thirty five, So that'll get better. That'll
get better. Yeah, for sure, that's it. That'll get better.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
