00:00To 47, we have Chef Napa, Jake Vigaroa, and Patrick Yu.

00:06Coach Jeff, congratulations for this victory.

00:09The Moogdogs ended a three-game losing streak.

00:12And is this what you're looking for, a defensive identity?

00:15Because UB scored only 47 points.

00:19Nothing.

00:21Maybe, finally, we won our game in the second half.

00:25We were jinxed.

00:27On our top-up workday in September, we didn't have any top-up.

00:33So, finally, at least, we won the game.

00:37All of my players are alive.

00:40They believe in what we need to do.

00:44And they really enjoy what we do.

00:48So, give credit to the boys.

00:50My players really worked hard.

00:53Are there any questions for Coach Jeff?

00:59Any questions for Coach Jeff?

01:01Staying alive at 3-8.

01:04It's not a good campaign.

01:06But how hopeful are you?

01:08At least, there's still a chance.

01:15Me?

01:16I thought it was Jake.

01:18We're ready.

01:21We're under money.

01:23As long as we compete.

01:25That's what's important.

01:27Then, I told them,

01:29Let's finish strong this season.

01:32That's our mindset.

01:34As long as we did the right thing,

01:36That's the result.

01:38At least, we did the right thing.

01:40Our game plan.

01:41We got the W.

01:43So, we don't think about going in or whatsoever.

01:47I just told them,

01:49Let's finish strong this season.

01:52I don't want to add pressure.

01:56That we need to catch the final four.

01:59No.

02:00That's our mindset.

02:02I told them,

02:04Let's end this season strong.

02:07People know that we're under money.

02:10That's their mindset.

02:14Coming to this game,

02:16Finally,

02:17Our shooters came back.

02:20That's very important for us.

02:23They came back.

02:24Then,

02:25Our defense's game plan,

02:28Whatever it is,

02:30They did the right thing.

02:32It's been almost a week.

02:33It's been a week.

02:34My head hurts.

02:35But, somehow,

02:37It worked.

02:39My head hurts.

02:41My head hurts.

02:46My head hurts.
