00:00I don't really think anything wears in him, honestly.
00:03He's just the most mentally tough person I've ever been around in sports.
00:08So, like tonight, he just feels it and plays the game that's given to him.
00:13And three people are going to guard me.
00:15Somebody's open, probably two.
00:18So I just love the consistency, and I think as he did that throughout the game
00:22in the second half, he found easy baskets, free throws,
00:25because now they're disjoints a little bit.
00:28There's a little less belief when you see Jalen make three straight threes.
00:31You know, you start to feel like you have to deviate,
00:34and I didn't think we did tonight.
00:36So really good spirit with the guys.
00:38And by the way, good spirit with the guys is we lost four games in a row.
00:41That's why.
00:42We needed a win.
00:43We're trying to make the playoffs.
00:45They got together, and they got it done.
00:46On a personal level, just how nice does it feel to get a win
00:49in your first game in this role?
00:51Undefeated.
00:51You know, it's great.
00:53No, I'll be honest.
00:55This group really cares about each other.
00:58They did 48 hours ago.
00:59They do now.
01:00And it's, like I said before the game, just different roles.
01:04That's it.
01:05Everybody takes a little step up.
01:07Everybody's helping each other out like we always did,
01:09just trying to accomplish something on that given night
01:12to win that given game.
01:13So.
01:13So.
01:13Very good.
