00:00 >> And three or four open threes in the first three or four minutes of this game.
00:03 So was it in the scout for Cornell that you think we're gonna find some open
00:08 looks for you early in those spots?
00:10 Or is it just a continuation of what you've been saying?
00:13 Like, if you've got an open, I don't want you shooting it.
00:16 I don't care, I want you getting open shots.
00:18 >> Absolutely, I know that my teammates and coaches that,
00:21 the reporters that have the most confidence in me, especially when I'm open.
00:26 It was just like, they're very aggressive in their cross-court coverage.
00:31 We know that it was kind of an adjustment.
00:34 We see that they were kind of losing those cross-courts and
00:37 we had to be more thoughtful about it.
00:39 So it was a tricky decision in those situations and
00:43 we found them a lot of times.
00:46 Made a few, but that's how they did it.
00:49 >> Obviously, Jameson, that final minute in your shots,
00:52 kind of the biggest play that stands out.
00:53 But it was also, I think there was a play from a lot of different guys in that last
00:56 minute, you know, you poked the ball through there for a steal.
00:59 There was, Evans' pass was pretty crazy to Devon, and
01:02 then Devon has a nice pump fake to finish it off.
01:05 Deal it to a clutch free throw.
01:06 What was it like to see different sources of clutch play in that final minute?
01:13 >> Yeah, I don't think, it's not surprising because that's just who we are as players.
01:17 That's who this team is.
01:18 And when there's an opportunity that arises,
01:21 those guys are gonna step up in that moment.
01:24 And I think that's a testament to both the dealers they recruited and
01:27 they brought into this program.
01:28 But I think that also just says, that's who we are as players.
01:32 We wanna be in those big moments.
01:33 We wanna have those lights shining bright on us just because we know that in the end,
01:37 we put the time and we put the work in to make those types of plays.
01:40 So it's obviously awesome just to see different guys stepping up, but
01:44 it's not surprising at all.
01:46 Because we come in, we grind every day, and in the end,
01:50 things are going to come in for continue. So, Charles, thank you.
