Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Alex Caravan joining us on the sidelines. Alex three and
oh was three and oh, Husky's not quite as stifling
on defense as they were at the People's Bank.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Areno, Alex. We're up here in the concourse a few
days about twenty rows.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Oh wow, it's a new seat for you guys.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
It's going on.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
We got evicted. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
So the defense not quite as stifling as the other
night against humass Lowell. But the Huskies have been doing
some different kinds of things in these first three games,
and especially the fast break stuff.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
I think we just want to play off our defense,
and we didn't do a good job of that in
the second half, and we kind of slipped from our identity.
But well, we play defense and we go out there
and run. It's a lot of fun when we play here,
and that's what we did in the first hail. We
could do that for a full forty Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
I was gonna ask about that that you had a
twenty seven to four run. Some of that came after
Avery Brown, their point guard, came out, but that was
the best basketball of the night so far. What specifically
worked well during that run.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
I think it was a defense. It really was the defense.
We were being disruptive, we made everything hard on them,
and we were running in transit. We got easy buckets
in transition. So if we're able to do that for
a full forty I think we're a really good team.
We just got to get to that point and we
weren't there for the whole game, but we showed flashes
of it. But it's really our defense. We played defense.
It's a lot of fun in here.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
And Jayden Ross got three threes, a couple of them
on the fast break. We don't see that very often
in college. That was a nice, nice thing that happened tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Absolutely, I mean he's a special player and he's been
doing it for all his time here at Yukon, and
now he's able to show he's got the ultimate confidence.
So I mean he's a terrific player. He's been amazing
and I'm glad he's showing flashes of it and I
know he's going to continue to get better.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
I had a lot in those same lines. Silas Demri
with nine assists in this game tonight. We're starting to
see flashes about good he can be for the Huskies.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Absolutely, I mean we've always had success here at Yukon
with bigger point guards, and he's one of them. He
fits into that mold and the way that he was
able to play make for us, the way that he
was able to defend for us. He's a big time
player and he's only going to get better the more
time he spends here. But I thought he showed great
flashes as well.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
And Alex solo ball not great shooting from three, But
the guy knows how to score it, doesn't he.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
I mean he's a bucket. I mean, the way he's
able to shoot it is so dangerous for any defense
to guard. And I think he's the best shooter in
the country, so alright, and I think he's the best
shooter in the country. So I mean he's a dangerous shooter.
And he draws so much attention from the three point
line for our offense that I's able to open everything
else up.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
All right, Alex, appreciate it. Congratulations, good Win, perfect, Thank
you guys. We'll see in Boston.
