Speaker 1 (00:07):
For the highlights, we take a look back see how
this game all came together, just like the beautiful kitchen
from Dean Cabinatry and Bolton built to impress from start
to finish. We began Braylan Mullens sensation from Indiana high schooler.

first bucket of the ball game fires it left a

and Mullins a little floater goes in and Yukon has
the lead.

First two possessions. Yukon went inside, first time to a
big and the second time to a guard.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
So Brailon Mullens, the freshman has his first two points
and Yukon was unable to score much from outside. The
Ark ended up eight for thirty four, so they went
inside led by solo ball as Yukon opened up a
twelve to six lead. Now ball drimle penetration by ball
right hand layup coot as good ball movement by the Huskies.

(01:03):
They got ball open for an ice drive inside twelve
six Huskies.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Huskies getting some offensive rebounds lately and second chance points, so.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Big big part of their game in the first half,
certainly that Malachai Smith got the start with the silas
Demrie out with a minor injury and the transfer from
Dayton ran the team very well and helped kick off
a fast break that gave you Con their first double
digit lead with nine minutes going by in the first

(01:32):
and a tip by Smith ended a front court stolen
by Corona outlets to Smith to Caravan to the basket
and he lays it in nice fast break. Malachai Smith
with speed u Con twenty one to ten with eight
and a half to go on the first. The Huskies
then were able to make a couple of threes and

(01:52):
men they had their troubles. Caravan was three for ten,
Ball was one for eight, Brilyan Mullens two for seven
and Stuart won for five. But here's one from Ball.
They gave you Kon a fifteen point lead with just
under five minutes to go on the first. Now back
to Jayden Ross fall unextended right back out front to
ball out of Millinder on the left wing off the

(02:13):
high screen of Caravan kicks it right to ball, turns
in fires a hierarching three splash. It goes in and
Yukon extends to their biggest lead of the ball game,
twenty nine to fourteen, just under five minutes to go.
A little bit later on Breylan Mullens had his first
three ball of his Yukon career guarded there by Payne.

(02:37):
Kicks it left to Mullins, another three by Mulleins. That
one's good, so Brelan Mullens snaps out of it, makes
his first three of his Yukon career here in the
preseason game with Boston College thirty five twenty five Huskies,
and they led at halftime thirty five twenty seven points
off turnovers at the break nineteen to nothing. Yukon biggas
lead was sixteen, but BC started a rally and they

(03:00):
went on a twenty to five run over an eight
minute period first to the second half, first half to
the second half and eleven to two run in the
second half that actually got them a lead of forty
to thirty seven. You Come was able to grab it
back though Dwayne Coroma with a nice job on the
offensive glass. Now he holds and kicks back to Caravan
carabou all the way, the basket goes to his left hand,
missed the shot, rebound it and put back up and

(03:23):
in by Dwayne Coroma. U Conrad gains the lead forty
one forty little penetration, a little weak side rebound and
you come back on top. And Huskies then started to
go inside a little bit more. That wasn't working from
the perimeter, so solo balls drive got them back in
the midst of a thirteen to one run to an

(03:44):
eleven point lead. A little bit later on Dan Ross's
Stewart out front. Now they worked at Coroma, little weave
to ball, ball drives to the basket, reversus.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
An inn right hand and sweet move.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
By Solo, and you got up by eleven fifty two
to forty one, eight and a half to go.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Solo's gone from three point bomber to post up player. Yeah,
he can drive it, he can finish.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
He ended up with twelve on the night at solo ball,
and eventually toward the end of the game, Eric Ribo,
who had a little bit of problem finishing, was able
to exert himself. He ended up with eight points. And
here's a nice play a little synchronicity with Malachi Smith
ball down load a Riba Ribe at the high post

(04:26):
and hand off to Smith, kick back to Ribi, drives inside,
lays it up and en and he's fouled. So Riba
converts and that would be a welcome sight. Riba, who
got the start tonight, that was the dime of the
game represented by Dimeback Community Banking, lives here because Terras
Reid wasn't able to go. He's got a minor thing

(04:47):
going on, so we shall see how he heals up
here in the next few days. But anyway, Riba, what
a nice debut. He ended up with eight points and
six rebounds in the game.
