Speaker 1 (00:02):
And welcome to the excuse me, to the national semifinal
game to press conference feature in the Yukon Huskies. We're
here an opening coach, excuse me, opening statement from coach
and then follow with questions from our student athletes. Coach
will turn the floor over to you.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Oh, thank you.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Well.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I have to say that this was somewhat unexpected. You know,
you always go into these games this time of the
year expecting it to be incredibly, incredibly difficult, and not
not that it wasn't, because I think our guys played
(00:43):
about as hard as any group of kids can play.
But I don't think we made a mistake the entire
the entire evening, especially on the defensive end. And I'm
just incredibly proud of these guys and what they were
able to do and how it was a complete team
(01:03):
effort led by these three. Obviously, you know, UCLA is
just really really good and really really hard to play against,
and it took everything we have and I'm really I'm
humbled by their performance.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Tonight, and it's time, excuse me, at this time we'll
open it up for our student athletes. We're gonna start
with Howard Nancy and then I got the next two
and we'll work our way around. We can get it
over to Howard over here.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Thank you, Howard Magdale at the next Congratulations you guys, Asy,
this one's for you, an early explosion obviously offensively, take
me through what allowed you to kind of break out
in this way and how intentional it was for you
to make sure that you were making your mark, especially
in the offensive end here.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Sorry, yeah, well thank you. But I think my mindset
tonight was just to be aggressive, whatever that meant. Started
on the defensive end. I think that was our entire
team's mindset, trying to make things difficult for them and
having that lead to offense. And so yeah, being aggressive
tonight was my my main focus, whether that meant making shots,
just driving and kicking, and having teammates that are always
(02:17):
on you to shoot the ball, it makes it pretty
easy to Also, when they're they're giving me great looks,
setting me great screens, give me great passes, that also
makes it really easy. So staying aggressive tonight, my teammates
made it extremely easy for me getting the ball when
I was wide open.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
So thanks to them, I'm going to move to our left. Nancy,
if you can reach your hand.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
Nancy over you say today sports uh page. Right before
or shortly before halftime, Easy whipped you a pass and
you look like you shoved it right at Caitlin and
she scored on a layup. Can you talk us through
exactly what that was?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
And Easy? When you saw her do that, what did
you think? It's kind of just an instinct. Easy threw
me the ball.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
It was a great pass, and I saw almost like
three people coming at me, so I knew it was
gonna be a jump ball. And at that point I
just wanted to get a hand on it and find
ten because I know she was running the floor with me,
and so I just did that.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I thought it was great.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
If you can raise your hand, we're gonna get the
mic to you. She's coming back around.
Speaker 8 (03:22):
Little Haggert damped up sports here in Tampa. Sarry, you
come in as the lower seed. Did you need any
expectation or any added motivation? Because thirty five and that's
not a bad season, is it.
Speaker 9 (03:37):
I would say no, We just look at it as
any other team, just out there playing basketball and not
really worried about seating.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
We're gonna take our next question on our left hand side.
The third row if you can raise your hand with
the braids, we'll get to you.
Speaker 10 (03:54):
Hi.
Speaker 9 (03:54):
Jennifer Party from Let's Tall Woman in Basketball, could you
describe your role into Night's vigor and how do you
plan to maintain that momentum going into the championship game.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I'm sorry, we'll start was that a question for all?
We'll start a peach.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
I think we all just want to lock in defensively.
I think that's all of our main mindset and our
main goal as a team, to be super locked in defensively, talk, communicate,
play with energy, effort on that side of the floor,
and then it translates to what we want to do
on offense. But being aggressive on both sides of the floor,
hunting shots, hunting the paint and then hunting to get steals, deflections,
(04:36):
just being disruptive.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
So being aggressive in all aspects.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Easy, you can go next.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Yeah, exactly what she said, being aggressive, making sure we're
playing a full forty minutes of aggressive yukon team basketball.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Pretty much what both of them said, just being aggressive.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, we'll take our nex this question. We're going to
stay to the center for Paige.
Speaker 11 (05:02):
Steve Fuckerman from NPR want to ask you. We know
that your career is coming to an end on Sunday,
it will be your last game here in college. Well,
you're accomplished everything except that one thing. Can you talk
about your view of this last game and finally accomplishing
the number one go when you came to Yukon.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
Yeah, I mean we prayed, we prepared, and we hope
to be playing on the last day of the season,
and we got that opportunity.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
So we don't want to take it for granted.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
And you don't want to get caught up in the
moment of being so anxious and trying to win the
national championship in one possession that you're just psyching yourself out.
But to be present with the team, to be where
your feet are and try to win every single possession
that's in front of you, play the entire forty minutes.
But that doesn't start until we start preparing and getting
(05:54):
a good rights, good night's rest tonight, start preparing tomorrow,
be disciplined in our part operation, and just enjoying the
last couple of days we have here with each other.
It's pretty crazy that's all coming into an end, but
I'm glad we can do it on the last day.
Speaker 12 (06:10):
How much you want.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
I think we all want it, and we're very both
teams want it. We won't we all want it as
individuals as a team, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Or states of the center. We'll go back to back
and then we'll work our way back over. I still
have you on my list.
Speaker 13 (06:27):
Donaldmory Hart for Current Page's heard your coach say that
you guys didn't think you made a mistake all night
and that he was humbled by the performance tonight. I
soon what goes through your mind when you hear your
coach say something like that after this many years, that
you feel like you've kind of actually finally won his
final approval or what does that feel like?
Speaker 7 (06:48):
I mean, we haven't watched film yet so that that'll
probably answer that. But just trying to minimize our mistakes
and try to make up for with how hard that
we play, how much we communicate and fill the holes,
fill the gaps of our defense and just the rotations.
But I mean, we're trying to get better even from
this performance for the game on Sunday, So just not
(07:10):
being complacent with what we did tonight and trying to
continue to get better.
Speaker 14 (07:17):
I wanted to direct my track question to coach g
you know, first of all, Scott Morgan Rount South Florida
Tribute number one, congratulations.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Holding questions for coach until his availability. We're still fielding questions.
I'm sorry, Okay, we'll make sure you're one of the
first ones when we get the coach. No problem with that.
We'll move over to our right, We'll go to Alexa
and then we'll come back over Alexa. Philip Espn for
page and easy.
Speaker 15 (07:39):
You guys are up by twenty at halftime, but you know,
you see Alays you know a good team and they
were gonna be hungry to come back. So what were
you telling to each other? What was the message from
coach to make sure you didn't take your foot off
the gas.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
Just to stay disciplined. We know they're well coached, they're
a very good team. They've got great pieces, so there
was no there's gonna be no quick to them, so
to be able to keep our defensive pressure up to
have no.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Foot off the gas moments.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
But we wanted to continue to press down and continue
to stay disciplined, and continue to talk and be disruptive
defensively and continue to stay aggressive and get out and
transition on offense. So really just talked about there being
no letup and actually turning up another level.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
We're gonna move to our left. If you can raise
your hand in a second row, we'll get that to you.
Eat last hoops HQ. I'm easy for you.
Speaker 16 (08:31):
You know this team has seemed to like they've gotten
better every single game as the years progressed.
Speaker 17 (08:36):
How is it possible that you guys continue to like
pull out your best performance game after game.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
I think Paige just said it best that we never
get complacent with our performance. Just like tonight was great,
We'll celebrate it for the rest of tonight and we
wake up tomorrow. It's a new day, a new scout,
a new opportunity for us to play even better as
a team. So I think just this whole season, h
knowing that we're capable of so much more of the
sky's limit for us, and making sure that we tap
into that every single night, and we never get complacent.
Speaker 10 (09:06):
Shifting back over to our right, Bella Munson with the
next I wanted to ask you, I guess Paige, if
you want to talk about sorry over here, Sorry it's okay,
I'm shortened to the side. If you could talk about
all Alfie's performance helping you guys defend Lauren Betts, pretend,
preventing UCLA from playing through her and forcing particularly those
(09:28):
lots of early turnovers in the first half, and if
that really helps set the tone for you guys at
all defensively.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
Yeah, I thought her performance was the tone setter for
the night, and how aggressive she started and how determined
she started.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Coach has been on her. It's been hard at practice.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
We have great practice players that challenge her and our
great try to be Lauren Bets. So she's just been
working extremely hard and she It was just extremely rewarding
to see her perform that way tonight, and along with
Ice Sarah Aubrey, the way they worked in the paint.
Lauren Betts is a problem. She's not an easy person
to guard. So for them to play with the effort
(10:08):
that they did tonight, the attention to detail, the discipline,
it was amazing to watch.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
We're gonna go right down this front row. We have
three questions, so we'll go into brown and then with
a scarf and then the white suit.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Lechelle Smith, the player shoulpuned. This is for all three
of you.
Speaker 16 (10:21):
When you see that you have over twenty thousand fans
in attendance in a sold out game like this, and
for the performance that you all had. Kind of how
does it feel to know the impact that you're having
individually but also as a team on the women's game
and especially for the younger generation.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Let's start with Sarah.
Speaker 12 (10:41):
It's okay, yeah, impacting, page can start.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
It's really rewarding just to be in this arena at
this stage of the tournament, playing with the stakes and
in this environment. It was amazing for women's basketball to
turn out the support, just the display of basketball.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
It's really high level of basketball.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
And for us to have a performance like that tonight
where we were playing extremely good team basketball. I think
it's beautiful to watch and I think it's great for
the sport and great for younger girls to see. And
so it was a very good turnout and exciting.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
I like the word that he's rewarding. I agree with that,
but I think it's also just it's an incredible feeling
to know that you can have an impact on so
many people. And also just the fact that so many
people showed up tonight. It's spent their own money to
get here time other day to come and watch us play,
so I know that we're all super grateful for that,
But to look around in the stands and see signs
(11:46):
and just Yukon fans from everywhere and we're really far
from home, so to have that kind of support is amazing.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I'm pretty much what they both said, very rewarding. We'll
stay to our right, to our left in the front row.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
Er.
Speaker 18 (12:03):
Garbar from The Daily Bruin for a page coach said,
you know, you say it's hard to play against, but
you guys made no mistakes. What was it about you
say that did challenge you guys, and how did you
guys respond to that to finish the game the way
you guys did.
Speaker 7 (12:14):
Yeah, I mean, obviously their into your presence with Lauren Betts,
but they've got great pieces around her, great pieces off
the bench, So if you focus too much on one thing,
it can cause a problem for the other. So we
wanted to take away the threes, but we also wanted
to make things hard for Lauren Bets inside, so being disruptive,
putting pressure on the ball to make the interior passes harder,
(12:38):
just being there to help the rotations, trying to cover
up for each other, and the way we talked, communicated,
and covered up for each other.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I thought helped a lot.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
For ESPN Andscape. This question is for all three of you,
just considering today's team win. How proud of you are?
How proud are you of all of your teammates today? Again,
we'll start with.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Page Extremely proud.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
We knew coming in we didn't think we played our
best team game yet. We've had some great individual performances,
but to be able to put it all together on
a night like this where we're playing against a really
good UCLA team, it's very rewarding and it's the kind
of basketball that we want to play.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
So extremely proud of everyone.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Also incredibly proud of everyone.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
I'm also very proud of everyone. We worked really hard
for this.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
We'll go to our left, Annie.
Speaker 19 (13:35):
Annie Costaball, Front office Sports. Yukon is one of the
greatest sports dynasties. Yukon women's basketball one of the greatest
sports dynasties. Talked about as such. But it's been ten
years since a title, almost ten years since the title
has been won by the Huskies. Is that a motivating
factor at all for you?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Paige?
Speaker 19 (13:51):
If you want to take it seems like you're the
one that's leading the charge.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
I think we are not worried about the past, worried
about trying to I mean, every single day you walk
into the gym, you're trying to live up to the
standard of playing Yukon basketball. But you're you're not comparing
yourself to other teams, to players before. Obviously you want
to fill their shoes and make them proud and where
the Ukon jersey with pride, But we're trying to be
(14:21):
the best team you are in the present on any
on any given night. We're trying to continue to get
better in practice, in the weight room and every single
thing that we're doing. So really that's the main focus,
and staying disciplined and doing what got us here and
taking care of that.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
We'll take our final question.
Speaker 17 (14:41):
Matti Kenney with.
Speaker 20 (14:41):
The New York Post over here, paigeer Asy, Sarah Strong
has been, you know, a consistent player, really strong player
for you guys all season as a freshman. Just what
do you make of her being able to keep that
composure and that confidence even as the stage gets bigger
and the lights get brighter.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
We'll start with you easy.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Yeah, Sarah is an incredible player, but I think That's
something that impresses me the most about her is just
how mature she plays and how just even kill she is.
And you can never tell if she's got twenty points
and twenty rebounds.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
You wouldn't be able to tell.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
So I think I definitely look up to her in
that aspect and how she just she doesn't care. She
looks at her opponent as you know, just another game
that night, doesn't matter where we are, what stage we're on.
So I think that's something that I want to take
and apply to my game. But she's someone who's extremely
fun to play with because she is just so smart.
She knows the game, knows what to do, and she
(15:39):
just makes it super easy to play with.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Page.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
Yeah, I mean, you can't really say enough great things
about Sarah Strong. She just contributes this to winning in
so many different ways, and a lot of things sometimes
don't show up in the stat sheet, but everything she
does also shows up in the stat sheets.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
So she just has an impact on the game.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
And it's funny because she's so like mature, cool, calm
and collected on a court, but as a roommate, she's
pretty wild off the court. So just to see the
switch up is pretty fun too.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Sarah Page, as you want to thank you for your
time today, best of luck on Sunday as you head
over to the Mixon, thank you, thank you. At this
time we will fill questions for a coach. We're going
to start with the gentleman with the hat and then
we will work our way around, says. We know you
have a question for coach and we can allow us
to get the microphones to you and then we'll go
from there.
Speaker 14 (16:40):
Ma'am, I gotta tell you you're a class act. Thank
you very much. Had a senior moment there anyways. Geno,
congratulations for making it to the finals yet again. So
the question I really want to kind of ask you
is this, You and Pat Summit certainly put women's college
basketball on the map, and I know you've beaten all comers.
(17:03):
So how do you feel about what you've accomplished up
to this point with the amount of titles that you've
amasked And would it be even more gratifying for you
knowing that there's transfer portal and nil factored into what
you could potentially do on Sunday, Because this is a
remarkable accomplishment of what you have done for this sport
to me, is nothing sort of outstanding and remarkable. It's
(17:26):
privileged to be able to have an opportunity to talk
to your coach.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Well, I appreciate all that. The Yeah, the challenges certainly,
don't don't get any don't get any easier. It's not
the same game, not the same environment, not the same
experience that it was when we first started in this.
(17:58):
All the coaches that are still around, it's not many
of them. Trying to navigate all the changes has been incredibly,
incredibly difficult on all sides, not just the coaching side,
and the the championships that we have, you know, they
(18:19):
were one through you know, the nineties, the two thousand's,
the twenty tens, you know, the final fours have happened
in the nineties, two thousand, twenty tens, twenty and fifteen twenty.
You know, so we've had to navigate a lot going
(18:41):
through this. I'm pretty gratified as it is. I think,
if you know, if you know, if we win a
twelfth national championship, I don't know that that has any
impact on my life life whatsoever, other than it makes
(19:06):
me feel that I'm still able to have an impact,
you know, at my age and for how long I've
been doing it, so it doesn't impact my life that much,
but it, you know, certainly impacts her life and what
(19:26):
she wants and what she's been dreaming about since she
picked up a basketball. So anytime you can, you know,
have a hand in helping someone who when you were
talking to them when they were seventeen years old about
what could happen if you come to Yukon and you're
in a position to actually be able to do it.
(19:49):
I think that's the most most gratifying thing for me
at this age of my life.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I'm gonna stay to the front, will go melt Doug.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
So, yeah, we use microphones in this century. Mel I
still love the fact that she course you grem pot.
Speaker 21 (20:11):
I predicted that three yeah, yeah, yeah, which is since
the paper you grew up reading didn't see it necessary
to send Jonathan. The fact that you're playing the other
team and who the coaches are and they're going for
a back to back and the way you've been roaring,
can you kind of and this is going to be
(20:32):
like the Super Bowl Women's basketball Sunday, can you see
yourselves in the Eagles role?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Well, you know, I think certainly what what's happened at
South Carolina over the last over the last seven, eight
nine years. You know, they've played basketball at and exceptionally
(21:02):
high level when when you think about the final fours
that they've been to, the consistency in their program, and
you know, the ability to win national championships multiple times
and to be in a position to win back to
(21:25):
back ones. Uh, these are all things that you know
are incredibly difficult too to sustain, you know, and in
today's today's day and age, we've certainly played each other
a number of times in big, big games. We've already
(21:47):
played each other once in a national championship game. So
it it does feel like the the two most prominent
programs right now in women's college basketball or playing for
the right to be national champions and we both deserve it.
(22:10):
You know, they deserve to be here. We deserve to
be here. They have every right to win Sunday. We
have every right to win Sunday. You know, past performances,
what happened last year isn't going to be a factor,
and what happened Sunday our eleven national championships aren't going
to help us win on Sunday. So the fact that
we have Philadelphia connections, University of Virginia connections, and all
(22:34):
that USA Basketball stuff that we've done together. Yeah, that's
a nice story. But I don't think Dawn is gonna
give me any kudos for or any breaks for, you know,
senior citizen that I am. I don't think she's gonna
have any sympathy for me.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Comes Sunday, We're gonna go Doug then Chantell.
Speaker 22 (22:58):
Hey gin know, Doug flamber DP. I think all of
your titles you've won, you've had sort of three major
players at that time, and the Stewie, Mariah and Morgan,
you had may Tina and Renee and before Sue Diana
that group. Yeah, yeah, you have three right now. They're
obviously playing really really well for you. How big is
(23:19):
that for the game on Sunday and for the win tonight,
that having that three that can all dominate a game,
score twenty points, do what you need to do. The
last time, last couple of years you made this far,
you didn't have enough healthy players like that to have
the three.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah, there is a common theme that goes through all
of our national championship teams, and that's absolutely true. What
you're saying, if you want to what hank Stram said
this years and years ago, there may be two other
people in here that know who hank Stram was, but
(23:55):
he did say, in order to win it all, you
have to have it all. And if you show up
here and you're missing some pieces, it's going to get
exposed here on the stage this weekend. And when we
showed up generally speaking, with the right pieces, we were
able to more times than not, you know, win a championship,
(24:16):
and when we showed up here shorthanded, we didn't. So
going into this weekend, we felt like we had the
best opportunity that we could have in the last you know,
five six years, seven years, maybe six years, I don't know,
and that it wasn't relying all on one person, and
(24:36):
that person had to play and exceptionally outstanding game in
order for us to win it all. If Page had
sixteen last year, we wouldn't have played it. We wouldn't
have made it to the final four. If Page has,
you know, the kind of game that she had today
in the previous couple of years, it would be almost
impossible for us to win. And yet today you know
(25:00):
what happened, So we have more, We have more, more pieces.
That obviously has majority of the reason why we're here.
And I don't know that you can do it. I've
said this before. You know, we go two or three
(25:20):
years in Connecticut without winning a national championship. I can
imagine it's like nine. Now, this is nine years without
winning a national championship. I remember after three somebody said,
you know, the only time he wins is when he
has the best players. I was like, man, I know,
I tried it with the other guys.
Speaker 15 (25:42):
It doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
So you have to come here with really good players
and put yourself in a position to do it. And
they've done that South Carolina and we've done that, So
it should be a great, great Sunday.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
We're going to stay to our right kind of the center.
We'll go with Chantelle, then we'll go to the Hey, do.
Speaker 17 (26:01):
You know you were talking about when your recruiting page
talking about national championships? What could have been or what
could be?
Speaker 3 (26:08):
At Yukon?
Speaker 17 (26:10):
I was curious once she actually got to campus, how
much did you talk about national championships and specifically this season,
knowing it would be her last, how much have you
talked about a national championship with.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Her, not not a whole lot, to be honest with you, Chantel,
not a whole lot. You know, when she got there,
it was the bubble.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
It was.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
You know, I didn't think we were necessarily that great
a team. You couldn't even tell because it was so
awful to play that season and didn't feel like college basketball.
And then every year that she's been here, I never
felt like we really were able to overcome anything and
(26:58):
win it. As long as she was on the court,
I never felt that. So the only time I've ever
talked to her about it is when I want to
make her mad and be negative with her that every
day I practice, when she does the same dumb things
that say she did was a freshman, that's the only
time I bring it up. That's why you've never won
a championship and you never will. You know, stupid stuff,
(27:21):
the parents say the kids right as a reminder that
you know, each and every day, each and every year,
you need to put away the things that you did
when you were a freshman, and you were even though
we had no chance to win it those years because
we didn't have enough players. You're just trying to remind
her and That's why she keeps saying. All we've talked
about the whole time she's been here is you need
(27:42):
to get.
Speaker 22 (27:42):
Better every day.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
You need to grow every day. You need to get
better every day and keep the focus off the national championship.
I stopped talking about national championship once Flana Rossmova. I
want to give her a shout out. And she's risen here,
She's gone through some rehab on some tough surgery in Russia.
I used to talk about national championships once a week
(28:06):
when she was on the team, and finally she said
to me, and as only a Russian can, why do
we talk about championships? Everybody knows why we were here.
Stop it. So I stopped it because I was afraid
for my life.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
With that.
Speaker 9 (28:23):
We're going to go to the back, Hey, coach Ariama.
Christina Walker from Christino Girl Hoops TV right here in
the back earlier page talked about how important preparation will
be going into Sunday's game, just doing those little things.
Can you tell me what preparation looks like for you
in your coaching staff going into Sunday?
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Well, oops, my preparation really is listening to what our
coaching staff says to me about what they think based
on all the film and everything that they've done, what
(29:05):
they what they think is the key for us to win.
So I have a great staff. All of them have
been head coaches at one time, and I trust them.
So we'll talk about it. We'll get together and come
up with a plan. It won't be tonight, It'll be
(29:28):
some time tomorrow, some what time is it anyway?
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Twelve twenty three, twelve.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Twenty three, Mike, Yeah, now' sure yeah. So I'm cutting
into the one thing that I do have control over
and what I'm what wine I'm drinking tonight, But how
we're going to play South Carolina. I'm waiting to hear
from my staff of what we're going to do.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
With that.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
We're actually at time. So we want to thank you
for best of luck on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
You appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
How about that?
Speaker 19 (29:59):
Oh five?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Oh no, I sh
And welcome to the excuse me, to the national semifinal
game to press conference feature in the Yukon Huskies. We're
here an opening coach, excuse me, opening statement from coach
and then follow with questions from our student athletes. Coach
will turn the floor over to you.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Oh, thank you.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Well.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I have to say that this was somewhat unexpected. You know,
you always go into these games this time of the
year expecting it to be incredibly, incredibly difficult, and not
not that it wasn't, because I think our guys played
(00:43):
about as hard as any group of kids can play.
But I don't think we made a mistake the entire
the entire evening, especially on the defensive end. And I'm
just incredibly proud of these guys and what they were
able to do and how it was a complete team
(01:03):
effort led by these three. Obviously, you know, UCLA is
just really really good and really really hard to play against,
and it took everything we have and I'm really I'm
humbled by their performance.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Tonight, and it's time, excuse me, at this time we'll
open it up for our student athletes. We're gonna start
with Howard Nancy and then I got the next two
and we'll work our way around. We can get it
over to Howard over here.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Thank you, Howard Magdale at the next Congratulations you guys, Asy,
this one's for you, an early explosion obviously offensively, take
me through what allowed you to kind of break out
in this way and how intentional it was for you
to make sure that you were making your mark, especially
in the offensive end here.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Sorry, yeah, well thank you. But I think my mindset
tonight was just to be aggressive, whatever that meant. Started
on the defensive end. I think that was our entire
team's mindset, trying to make things difficult for them and
having that lead to offense. And so yeah, being aggressive
tonight was my my main focus, whether that meant making shots,
just driving and kicking, and having teammates that are always
(02:17):
on you to shoot the ball, it makes it pretty
easy to Also, when they're they're giving me great looks,
setting me great screens, give me great passes, that also
makes it really easy. So staying aggressive tonight, my teammates
made it extremely easy for me getting the ball when
I was wide open.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
So thanks to them, I'm going to move to our left. Nancy,
if you can reach your hand.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
Nancy over you say today sports uh page. Right before
or shortly before halftime, Easy whipped you a pass and
you look like you shoved it right at Caitlin and
she scored on a layup. Can you talk us through
exactly what that was?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
And Easy? When you saw her do that, what did
you think? It's kind of just an instinct. Easy threw
me the ball.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
It was a great pass, and I saw almost like
three people coming at me, so I knew it was
gonna be a jump ball. And at that point I
just wanted to get a hand on it and find
ten because I know she was running the floor with me,
and so I just did that.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I thought it was great.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
If you can raise your hand, we're gonna get the
mic to you. She's coming back around.
Speaker 8 (03:22):
Little Haggert damped up sports here in Tampa. Sarry, you
come in as the lower seed. Did you need any
expectation or any added motivation? Because thirty five and that's
not a bad season, is it.
Speaker 9 (03:37):
I would say no, We just look at it as
any other team, just out there playing basketball and not
really worried about seating.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
We're gonna take our next question on our left hand side.
The third row if you can raise your hand with
the braids, we'll get to you.
Speaker 10 (03:54):
Hi.
Speaker 9 (03:54):
Jennifer Party from Let's Tall Woman in Basketball, could you
describe your role into Night's vigor and how do you
plan to maintain that momentum going into the championship game.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I'm sorry, we'll start was that a question for all?
We'll start a peach.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
I think we all just want to lock in defensively.
I think that's all of our main mindset and our
main goal as a team, to be super locked in defensively, talk, communicate,
play with energy, effort on that side of the floor,
and then it translates to what we want to do
on offense. But being aggressive on both sides of the floor,
hunting shots, hunting the paint and then hunting to get steals, deflections,
(04:36):
just being disruptive.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
So being aggressive in all aspects.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Easy, you can go next.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Yeah, exactly what she said, being aggressive, making sure we're
playing a full forty minutes of aggressive yukon team basketball.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Pretty much what both of them said, just being aggressive.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, we'll take our nex this question. We're going to
stay to the center for Paige.
Speaker 11 (05:02):
Steve Fuckerman from NPR want to ask you. We know
that your career is coming to an end on Sunday,
it will be your last game here in college. Well,
you're accomplished everything except that one thing. Can you talk
about your view of this last game and finally accomplishing
the number one go when you came to Yukon.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
Yeah, I mean we prayed, we prepared, and we hope
to be playing on the last day of the season,
and we got that opportunity.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
So we don't want to take it for granted.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
And you don't want to get caught up in the
moment of being so anxious and trying to win the
national championship in one possession that you're just psyching yourself out.
But to be present with the team, to be where
your feet are and try to win every single possession
that's in front of you, play the entire forty minutes.
But that doesn't start until we start preparing and getting
(05:54):
a good rights, good night's rest tonight, start preparing tomorrow,
be disciplined in our part operation, and just enjoying the
last couple of days we have here with each other.
It's pretty crazy that's all coming into an end, but
I'm glad we can do it on the last day.
Speaker 12 (06:10):
How much you want.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
I think we all want it, and we're very both
teams want it. We won't we all want it as
individuals as a team, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Or states of the center. We'll go back to back
and then we'll work our way back over. I still
have you on my list.
Speaker 13 (06:27):
Donaldmory Hart for Current Page's heard your coach say that
you guys didn't think you made a mistake all night
and that he was humbled by the performance tonight. I
soon what goes through your mind when you hear your
coach say something like that after this many years, that
you feel like you've kind of actually finally won his
final approval or what does that feel like?
Speaker 7 (06:48):
I mean, we haven't watched film yet so that that'll
probably answer that. But just trying to minimize our mistakes
and try to make up for with how hard that
we play, how much we communicate and fill the holes,
fill the gaps of our defense and just the rotations.
But I mean, we're trying to get better even from
this performance for the game on Sunday, So just not
(07:10):
being complacent with what we did tonight and trying to
continue to get better.
Speaker 14 (07:17):
I wanted to direct my track question to coach g
you know, first of all, Scott Morgan Rount South Florida
Tribute number one, congratulations.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Holding questions for coach until his availability. We're still fielding questions.
I'm sorry, Okay, we'll make sure you're one of the
first ones when we get the coach. No problem with that.
We'll move over to our right, We'll go to Alexa
and then we'll come back over Alexa. Philip Espn for
page and easy.
Speaker 15 (07:39):
You guys are up by twenty at halftime, but you know,
you see Alays you know a good team and they
were gonna be hungry to come back. So what were
you telling to each other? What was the message from
coach to make sure you didn't take your foot off
the gas.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
Just to stay disciplined. We know they're well coached, they're
a very good team. They've got great pieces, so there
was no there's gonna be no quick to them, so
to be able to keep our defensive pressure up to
have no.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Foot off the gas moments.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
But we wanted to continue to press down and continue
to stay disciplined, and continue to talk and be disruptive
defensively and continue to stay aggressive and get out and
transition on offense. So really just talked about there being
no letup and actually turning up another level.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
We're gonna move to our left. If you can raise
your hand in a second row, we'll get that to you.
Eat last hoops HQ. I'm easy for you.
Speaker 16 (08:31):
You know this team has seemed to like they've gotten
better every single game as the years progressed.
Speaker 17 (08:36):
How is it possible that you guys continue to like
pull out your best performance game after game.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
I think Paige just said it best that we never
get complacent with our performance. Just like tonight was great,
We'll celebrate it for the rest of tonight and we
wake up tomorrow. It's a new day, a new scout,
a new opportunity for us to play even better as
a team. So I think just this whole season, h
knowing that we're capable of so much more of the
sky's limit for us, and making sure that we tap
into that every single night, and we never get complacent.
Speaker 10 (09:06):
Shifting back over to our right, Bella Munson with the
next I wanted to ask you, I guess Paige, if
you want to talk about sorry over here, Sorry it's okay,
I'm shortened to the side. If you could talk about
all Alfie's performance helping you guys defend Lauren Betts, pretend,
preventing UCLA from playing through her and forcing particularly those
(09:28):
lots of early turnovers in the first half, and if
that really helps set the tone for you guys at
all defensively.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
Yeah, I thought her performance was the tone setter for
the night, and how aggressive she started and how determined
she started.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Coach has been on her. It's been hard at practice.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
We have great practice players that challenge her and our
great try to be Lauren Bets. So she's just been
working extremely hard and she It was just extremely rewarding
to see her perform that way tonight, and along with
Ice Sarah Aubrey, the way they worked in the paint.
Lauren Betts is a problem. She's not an easy person
to guard. So for them to play with the effort
(10:08):
that they did tonight, the attention to detail, the discipline,
it was amazing to watch.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
We're gonna go right down this front row. We have
three questions, so we'll go into brown and then with
a scarf and then the white suit.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Lechelle Smith, the player shoulpuned. This is for all three
of you.
Speaker 16 (10:21):
When you see that you have over twenty thousand fans
in attendance in a sold out game like this, and
for the performance that you all had. Kind of how
does it feel to know the impact that you're having
individually but also as a team on the women's game
and especially for the younger generation.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Let's start with Sarah.
Speaker 12 (10:41):
It's okay, yeah, impacting, page can start.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
It's really rewarding just to be in this arena at
this stage of the tournament, playing with the stakes and
in this environment. It was amazing for women's basketball to
turn out the support, just the display of basketball.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
It's really high level of basketball.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
And for us to have a performance like that tonight
where we were playing extremely good team basketball. I think
it's beautiful to watch and I think it's great for
the sport and great for younger girls to see. And
so it was a very good turnout and exciting.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
I like the word that he's rewarding. I agree with that,
but I think it's also just it's an incredible feeling
to know that you can have an impact on so
many people. And also just the fact that so many
people showed up tonight. It's spent their own money to
get here time other day to come and watch us play,
so I know that we're all super grateful for that,
But to look around in the stands and see signs
(11:46):
and just Yukon fans from everywhere and we're really far
from home, so to have that kind of support is amazing.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I'm pretty much what they both said, very rewarding. We'll
stay to our right, to our left in the front row.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
Er.
Speaker 18 (12:03):
Garbar from The Daily Bruin for a page coach said,
you know, you say it's hard to play against, but
you guys made no mistakes. What was it about you
say that did challenge you guys, and how did you
guys respond to that to finish the game the way
you guys did.
Speaker 7 (12:14):
Yeah, I mean, obviously their into your presence with Lauren Betts,
but they've got great pieces around her, great pieces off
the bench, So if you focus too much on one thing,
it can cause a problem for the other. So we
wanted to take away the threes, but we also wanted
to make things hard for Lauren Bets inside, so being disruptive,
putting pressure on the ball to make the interior passes harder,
(12:38):
just being there to help the rotations, trying to cover
up for each other, and the way we talked, communicated,
and covered up for each other.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I thought helped a lot.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
For ESPN Andscape. This question is for all three of you,
just considering today's team win. How proud of you are?
How proud are you of all of your teammates today? Again,
we'll start with.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Page Extremely proud.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
We knew coming in we didn't think we played our
best team game yet. We've had some great individual performances,
but to be able to put it all together on
a night like this where we're playing against a really
good UCLA team, it's very rewarding and it's the kind
of basketball that we want to play.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
So extremely proud of everyone.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Also incredibly proud of everyone.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
I'm also very proud of everyone. We worked really hard
for this.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
We'll go to our left, Annie.
Speaker 19 (13:35):
Annie Costaball, Front office Sports. Yukon is one of the
greatest sports dynasties. Yukon women's basketball one of the greatest
sports dynasties. Talked about as such. But it's been ten
years since a title, almost ten years since the title
has been won by the Huskies. Is that a motivating
factor at all for you?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Paige?
Speaker 19 (13:51):
If you want to take it seems like you're the
one that's leading the charge.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
I think we are not worried about the past, worried
about trying to I mean, every single day you walk
into the gym, you're trying to live up to the
standard of playing Yukon basketball. But you're you're not comparing
yourself to other teams, to players before. Obviously you want
to fill their shoes and make them proud and where
the Ukon jersey with pride, But we're trying to be
(14:21):
the best team you are in the present on any
on any given night. We're trying to continue to get
better in practice, in the weight room and every single
thing that we're doing. So really that's the main focus,
and staying disciplined and doing what got us here and
taking care of that.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
We'll take our final question.
Speaker 17 (14:41):
Matti Kenney with.
Speaker 20 (14:41):
The New York Post over here, paigeer Asy, Sarah Strong
has been, you know, a consistent player, really strong player
for you guys all season as a freshman. Just what
do you make of her being able to keep that
composure and that confidence even as the stage gets bigger
and the lights get brighter.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
We'll start with you easy.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Yeah, Sarah is an incredible player, but I think That's
something that impresses me the most about her is just
how mature she plays and how just even kill she is.
And you can never tell if she's got twenty points
and twenty rebounds.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
You wouldn't be able to tell.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
So I think I definitely look up to her in
that aspect and how she just she doesn't care. She
looks at her opponent as you know, just another game
that night, doesn't matter where we are, what stage we're on.
So I think that's something that I want to take
and apply to my game. But she's someone who's extremely
fun to play with because she is just so smart.
She knows the game, knows what to do, and she
(15:39):
just makes it super easy to play with.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Page.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
Yeah, I mean, you can't really say enough great things
about Sarah Strong. She just contributes this to winning in
so many different ways, and a lot of things sometimes
don't show up in the stat sheet, but everything she
does also shows up in the stat sheets.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
So she just has an impact on the game.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
And it's funny because she's so like mature, cool, calm
and collected on a court, but as a roommate, she's
pretty wild off the court. So just to see the
switch up is pretty fun too.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Sarah Page, as you want to thank you for your
time today, best of luck on Sunday as you head
over to the Mixon, thank you, thank you. At this
time we will fill questions for a coach. We're going
to start with the gentleman with the hat and then
we will work our way around, says. We know you
have a question for coach and we can allow us
to get the microphones to you and then we'll go
from there.
Speaker 14 (16:40):
Ma'am, I gotta tell you you're a class act. Thank
you very much. Had a senior moment there anyways. Geno,
congratulations for making it to the finals yet again. So
the question I really want to kind of ask you
is this, You and Pat Summit certainly put women's college
basketball on the map, and I know you've beaten all comers.
(17:03):
So how do you feel about what you've accomplished up
to this point with the amount of titles that you've
amasked And would it be even more gratifying for you
knowing that there's transfer portal and nil factored into what
you could potentially do on Sunday, Because this is a
remarkable accomplishment of what you have done for this sport
to me, is nothing sort of outstanding and remarkable. It's
(17:26):
privileged to be able to have an opportunity to talk
to your coach.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Well, I appreciate all that. The Yeah, the challenges certainly,
don't don't get any don't get any easier. It's not
the same game, not the same environment, not the same
experience that it was when we first started in this.
(17:58):
All the coaches that are still around, it's not many
of them. Trying to navigate all the changes has been incredibly,
incredibly difficult on all sides, not just the coaching side,
and the the championships that we have, you know, they
(18:19):
were one through you know, the nineties, the two thousand's,
the twenty tens, you know, the final fours have happened
in the nineties, two thousand, twenty tens, twenty and fifteen twenty.
You know, so we've had to navigate a lot going
(18:41):
through this. I'm pretty gratified as it is. I think,
if you know, if you know, if we win a
twelfth national championship, I don't know that that has any
impact on my life life whatsoever, other than it makes
(19:06):
me feel that I'm still able to have an impact,
you know, at my age and for how long I've
been doing it, so it doesn't impact my life that much,
but it, you know, certainly impacts her life and what
(19:26):
she wants and what she's been dreaming about since she
picked up a basketball. So anytime you can, you know,
have a hand in helping someone who when you were
talking to them when they were seventeen years old about
what could happen if you come to Yukon and you're
in a position to actually be able to do it.
(19:49):
I think that's the most most gratifying thing for me
at this age of my life.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I'm gonna stay to the front, will go melt Doug.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
So, yeah, we use microphones in this century. Mel I
still love the fact that she course you grem pot.
Speaker 21 (20:11):
I predicted that three yeah, yeah, yeah, which is since
the paper you grew up reading didn't see it necessary
to send Jonathan. The fact that you're playing the other
team and who the coaches are and they're going for
a back to back and the way you've been roaring,
can you kind of and this is going to be
(20:32):
like the Super Bowl Women's basketball Sunday, can you see
yourselves in the Eagles role?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Well, you know, I think certainly what what's happened at
South Carolina over the last over the last seven, eight
nine years. You know, they've played basketball at and exceptionally
(21:02):
high level when when you think about the final fours
that they've been to, the consistency in their program, and
you know, the ability to win national championships multiple times
and to be in a position to win back to
(21:25):
back ones. Uh, these are all things that you know
are incredibly difficult too to sustain, you know, and in
today's today's day and age, we've certainly played each other
a number of times in big, big games. We've already
(21:47):
played each other once in a national championship game. So
it it does feel like the the two most prominent
programs right now in women's college basketball or playing for
the right to be national champions and we both deserve it.
(22:10):
You know, they deserve to be here. We deserve to
be here. They have every right to win Sunday. We
have every right to win Sunday. You know, past performances,
what happened last year isn't going to be a factor,
and what happened Sunday our eleven national championships aren't going
to help us win on Sunday. So the fact that
we have Philadelphia connections, University of Virginia connections, and all
(22:34):
that USA Basketball stuff that we've done together. Yeah, that's
a nice story. But I don't think Dawn is gonna
give me any kudos for or any breaks for, you know,
senior citizen that I am. I don't think she's gonna
have any sympathy for me.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Comes Sunday, We're gonna go Doug then Chantell.
Speaker 22 (22:58):
Hey gin know, Doug flamber DP. I think all of
your titles you've won, you've had sort of three major
players at that time, and the Stewie, Mariah and Morgan,
you had may Tina and Renee and before Sue Diana
that group. Yeah, yeah, you have three right now. They're
obviously playing really really well for you. How big is
(23:19):
that for the game on Sunday and for the win tonight,
that having that three that can all dominate a game,
score twenty points, do what you need to do. The
last time, last couple of years you made this far,
you didn't have enough healthy players like that to have
the three.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah, there is a common theme that goes through all
of our national championship teams, and that's absolutely true. What
you're saying, if you want to what hank Stram said
this years and years ago, there may be two other
people in here that know who hank Stram was, but
(23:55):
he did say, in order to win it all, you
have to have it all. And if you show up
here and you're missing some pieces, it's going to get
exposed here on the stage this weekend. And when we
showed up generally speaking, with the right pieces, we were
able to more times than not, you know, win a championship,
(24:16):
and when we showed up here shorthanded, we didn't. So
going into this weekend, we felt like we had the
best opportunity that we could have in the last you know,
five six years, seven years, maybe six years, I don't know,
and that it wasn't relying all on one person, and
(24:36):
that person had to play and exceptionally outstanding game in
order for us to win it all. If Page had
sixteen last year, we wouldn't have played it. We wouldn't
have made it to the final four. If Page has,
you know, the kind of game that she had today
in the previous couple of years, it would be almost
impossible for us to win. And yet today you know
(25:00):
what happened, So we have more, We have more, more pieces.
That obviously has majority of the reason why we're here.
And I don't know that you can do it. I've
said this before. You know, we go two or three
(25:20):
years in Connecticut without winning a national championship. I can
imagine it's like nine. Now, this is nine years without
winning a national championship. I remember after three somebody said,
you know, the only time he wins is when he
has the best players. I was like, man, I know,
I tried it with the other guys.
Speaker 15 (25:42):
It doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
So you have to come here with really good players
and put yourself in a position to do it. And
they've done that South Carolina and we've done that, So
it should be a great, great Sunday.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
We're going to stay to our right kind of the center.
We'll go with Chantelle, then we'll go to the Hey, do.
Speaker 17 (26:01):
You know you were talking about when your recruiting page
talking about national championships? What could have been or what
could be?
Speaker 3 (26:08):
At Yukon?
Speaker 17 (26:10):
I was curious once she actually got to campus, how
much did you talk about national championships and specifically this season,
knowing it would be her last, how much have you
talked about a national championship with.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Her, not not a whole lot, to be honest with you, Chantel,
not a whole lot. You know, when she got there,
it was the bubble.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
It was.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
You know, I didn't think we were necessarily that great
a team. You couldn't even tell because it was so
awful to play that season and didn't feel like college basketball.
And then every year that she's been here, I never
felt like we really were able to overcome anything and
(26:58):
win it. As long as she was on the court,
I never felt that. So the only time I've ever
talked to her about it is when I want to
make her mad and be negative with her that every
day I practice, when she does the same dumb things
that say she did was a freshman, that's the only
time I bring it up. That's why you've never won
a championship and you never will. You know, stupid stuff,
(27:21):
the parents say the kids right as a reminder that
you know, each and every day, each and every year,
you need to put away the things that you did
when you were a freshman, and you were even though
we had no chance to win it those years because
we didn't have enough players. You're just trying to remind
her and That's why she keeps saying. All we've talked
about the whole time she's been here is you need
(27:42):
to get.
Speaker 22 (27:42):
Better every day.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
You need to grow every day. You need to get
better every day and keep the focus off the national championship.
I stopped talking about national championship once Flana Rossmova. I
want to give her a shout out. And she's risen here,
She's gone through some rehab on some tough surgery in Russia.
I used to talk about national championships once a week
(28:06):
when she was on the team, and finally she said
to me, and as only a Russian can, why do
we talk about championships? Everybody knows why we were here.
Stop it. So I stopped it because I was afraid
for my life.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
With that.
Speaker 9 (28:23):
We're going to go to the back, Hey, coach Ariama.
Christina Walker from Christino Girl Hoops TV right here in
the back earlier page talked about how important preparation will
be going into Sunday's game, just doing those little things.
Can you tell me what preparation looks like for you
in your coaching staff going into Sunday?
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Well, oops, my preparation really is listening to what our
coaching staff says to me about what they think based
on all the film and everything that they've done, what
(29:05):
they what they think is the key for us to win.
So I have a great staff. All of them have
been head coaches at one time, and I trust them.
So we'll talk about it. We'll get together and come
up with a plan. It won't be tonight, It'll be
(29:28):
some time tomorrow, some what time is it anyway?
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Twelve twenty three, twelve.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Twenty three, Mike, Yeah, now' sure yeah. So I'm cutting
into the one thing that I do have control over
and what I'm what wine I'm drinking tonight, But how
we're going to play South Carolina. I'm waiting to hear
from my staff of what we're going to do.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
With that.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
We're actually at time. So we want to thank you
for best of luck on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
You appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
How about that?
Speaker 19 (29:59):
Oh five?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Oh no, I sh
