00:00 Obviously they found a rhythm early and they kept it throughout the game.
00:03 Just in terms of controllables against a team that gets hot like that,
00:06 that's been on a tear.
00:07 What are some of the takeaways on the defensive end to just not let a team get
00:11 in rhythm like they did early on?
00:12 >> Yeah, they made a lot of shots.
00:16 Just gotta kind of make them uncomfortable and
00:19 I think they're pretty much comfortable for most of the night.
00:22 >> And then wanted to ask you about Aaron, 25 points for him, five made threes.
00:27 Coach Dagnall pointed out that he just plays within the flow of the offense.
00:31 You've assisted to him on a couple of his buckets.
00:33 Just what is it about him and his game that allows him to have nights like this?
00:37 >> Yeah, he works hard.
00:39 Like I said, he just plays inside the offense.
00:43 Doesn't try to do too much, takes good shots, makes plays when he can.
00:47 >> Shay, you've been on a tear since the LCR break.
00:51 This is really the first offensive game that you've had.
00:54 Is there anything you saw out there tonight or
00:57 even playing on the second night of a back to back that may have led to that?
01:00 >> No, not really.
01:03 I feel like for the most part I got shots I wanted, but just didn't fall to them.
01:08 >> And just speaking of your workload, just coming back from that injury,
01:12 obviously you are playing on the second night of back to back.
01:15 Smart said that there's no plan to really rest you down the stretch.
01:19 Like are you wanting to play in every game to finish the season?
01:23 Like how are you just feeling physically?
01:25 >> Yeah, I wanna play basketball.
01:27 And as long as I can, I will, health wise.
01:32 >> Thanks.
01:32 >> Beautiful.
