00:00 >> Yeah, I think all those guys have done a good job of filling their roles.
00:05 And we saw Evan Mahabee was obviously in our league last year,
00:09 saw him at Penn State, and said he is an experienced big guy.
00:12 And I think Akbar mentioned with the previous question a couple of
00:17 ago about the experience and the experience that he gained last year.
00:20 Obviously, you're gonna have, we have guys that lead us most of the time.
00:27 They're three, Thornton Gale and
00:31 Battle are really, that trio is really formidable.
00:36 It's one of the better trios in our league.
00:38 So I think the key is the other guys continue to buy into their roles and
00:43 try to continue to do what they do well.
00:46 And they've done a good job of that.
00:48 >> Let's take two more, let's go Jeff and then Ben.
00:50 Here, you went back to the crowd a little bit, and
00:52 obviously couldn't move as well as he normally does.
00:55 What was he able to do tonight?
00:56 Both sort of tippy on the stat sheet and
00:58 maybe showing his teammates how important this game was.
01:01 >> Yeah, I think he got it through it and was out in a determined play.
01:06 But I think you got, again, I use the word experience a lot with this team.
01:12 Here he is, seven footer, 250, I think that's Kravinov,
01:16 called him the big lumberjack after the game.
01:20 And it was just, he was gonna be in there and
01:23 knock people around until he couldn't.
01:25 And like I said, I thought it was good for Nolan too to get in there and
01:29 try to hold his own and learn from older guys as we go through the season.
01:35 But credit to Steve, he played through it.
01:37 And just get him healthy here quick.
