00:00 Um. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Mhm. Yeah. Mm.
00:17 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um,
00:21 you know, I think it's really
00:22 easy. They've been, you know,
00:23 helped me along since I got here in June. I'm all I definitely was the last
00:28 person to get here. So, you know, these guys and other guys and the coach staff
00:32 just helped me, you know, feel welcome to the day I stepped on campus.
00:35 You mentioned the first month of the season is over. What do you think you guys have learned about yourself so far?
00:40 Um, that we're capable of doing anything we set our mind to. Um, you know,
00:46 Dixon has been preaching, cutting down our turnovers, and we had six turnovers this game compared to the last one.
00:52 We had six turnovers this game compared to the previous game, and I think we're just building off our previous games,
00:58 and I think we can go as far as you want to.
01:00 You guys had 17 total steals tonight, 36 points in transition.
01:06 How much pride do you take in forcing turnovers and getting out fast?
01:09 We take a lot of pride in our defense.
01:12 We started off a little rocky.
01:13 A little. We had a bad start, so coach got on us and the guys huddled up and we said we got to lock in on defense.
01:20 So, we did that.
01:23 You said you guys had a slow start. You guys finished the half on a 36-8 run.
01:26 What were you guys able to do to kind of get back to work?
01:29 Get stops and then get in transition.
01:31 We're the best transition team in the country, so, you know, when we get stops, we taking off.
01:36 And you see we had a lot of assists today because we like to share the ball, so that's what we did.
01:41 It looked like Avery gave you guys a little bit of a spark off the bench today.
01:44 Can you talk about how nice it is to have guys as talented as him coming off the bench in shortations?
01:49 Yeah, you know, he did amazing today.
01:51 He had five assists, zero turnovers.
01:53 He played a key part in that transition.
01:56 You know, I think he did an amazing job of hitting guys early in stride in transition and just making the right read.
02:02 And sometimes as a point guard, the right read is better than the flashy read.
02:05 I think today he just did a great job facilitating and making sure everyone got their score.
02:10 Jermaine, you guys are about to go on the road.
02:12 The competition is about to take a step up.
02:14 I guess, how excited are you guys for that challenge that's about to come up this summer?
02:17 We're very excited.
02:19 I mean, you know, we had to handle business, you know, this month.
02:22 It wasn't too exciting, but, you know, that's part of it.
02:25 And, you know, we got to get ready and just prepare for Georgetown.
02:29 Talk me through Darius Ford's step back three.
02:32 I bet you guys are over 100 points.
02:34 I knew he was going to make it.
02:35 Yeah, he was.
02:36 D4 has the most confidence on the team.
02:38 The most.
02:39 So, when he shot it, we all just went crazy.
02:41 So, yeah.
02:42 Yeah.
02:43 Anything else?
02:45 Okay.
02:46 -Okay. -Thank you.
02:47 -That was good. That was good.
