00:00 Man running off the floor.
00:02 I want to apologize to her and the entire program.
00:04 She's had such a spectacular performance today and she's such a great player and
00:09 that should never happen.
00:10 So I feel really badly.
00:11 Hopefully she's okay and it doesn't have any effect her moving forward.
00:19 But that's extremely unfortunate.
00:21 Shouldn't happen to anybody but man such a great player like Kayla.
00:23 I really hate that.
00:24 And so I know we had security in place.
00:27 Student apparently beat us, beat the security.
00:30 So I really feel badly about that.

00:37 >> Thanks for your time, Coach.
00:38 Congrats on the win.
00:39 Your play today looked like was driving to the paint and
00:42 then establishing inside game.
00:44 How happy were you with the results of that and
00:46 being able to stay so close in the game early on?
00:48 >> Yeah, I just thought they would play a lot of zone and
00:51 I didn't want to just follow up with a three.
00:54 I knew we needed to get some balance in our offense and we did.
00:57 And I thought in particular Cody was excellent around the rim,
01:01 finishing one foul.
01:02 We did get some threes and we made some big ones.
01:05 But I think overall, the balance we were looking for was achieved.
01:09 >> And how much more, on the Cody piece,
01:10 how much more dangerous is Cody when she's getting those and one opportunity?
01:14 She's hitting layups and she's hearing the whistle and
01:16 it just seems like it fires her up.
01:19 How do you see her change when that happens?
01:21 >> Yeah, I mean, going back to prior to Christmas,
01:24 she was kind of a little bit of a flunk there.
01:25 She wasn't playing real well.
01:26 She has practiced extremely hard and
01:28 extremely well every single day since we came out of the Christmas break.
01:31 And so I'm really happy to see her apply that to the game.
01:35 She was just so effective around the rim and you can see her
01:39 physicality and aggression really coming through and really fun to watch.
