00:00 -Lou, in a game like this where they throw a really big punch
00:03 there in the fourth quarter to close the game,
00:06 what are some of the takeaways from those sort of situations?
00:09 -I just feel like we got to stay together, take care of the ball.
00:12 I mean, I know we got-- I feel like we got a little sloppy
00:15 at the end.
00:16 I know we had to leave, but we just had to keep going.
00:18 And I felt like, you know, she did a good job, you know,
00:21 just take care of the ball and get it to the rim.
00:22 -Part of what made that huge lead in the first place
00:25 was the effort of your second unit.
00:27 What did you think of the guys that came off the bench tonight,
00:29 Mike-- sorry, Mike, Kendrick, Chukoku, those guys?
00:32 -They did great.
00:33 I mean, I have to tell you, you know, coach,
00:36 we had a little conversation about them coming in,
00:38 they didn't really do a good job.
00:39 And then, you know, we just told them and then, you know,
00:42 they just took it and then coming out the second half,
00:44 they did a great job.
00:45 They really kept us in the game.
00:47 And then I felt like, you know, us coming back in,
00:48 we just had to finish it.
00:51 -You guys have a virtual line tonight,
00:53 a seeding time of nine makes for you.
00:56 What was the key to creating the angles for yourself
00:59 to get found a little bit?
01:00 -I feel like I just had to move up strong.
01:03 I mean, I feel like the guards did a good job,
01:05 Jack Shea and Josh did a good job finding me,
01:07 just cutting to the basket and just me being strong with the ball.
01:10 So when I get to the line,
01:12 you got to be confident and shoot and make it.
01:15 -Is that feeling like 16 seconds left,
01:18 you get the fast break,
01:19 is it a moment of just like exhaling a little bit,
01:23 like just put it away?
01:24 -Yeah, just finish it.
01:25 I mean, it's just go up there and finish it,
01:28 and, you know, we did a good job.
01:30 They had a great game, you know, we just got to finish it.
01:32 And I know it's over.
01:34 -Lou, they were called for five technicals
01:37 there in that second quarter,
01:39 and that last one on Josh Harwood,
01:41 that he applies the goalie's fault foul against you.
01:43 What was your perspective on that one?
01:45 Were you surprised he got called for the goalie's fault foul there?
01:49 -I felt like I went up straight.
01:51 I went to a hand rebound, went up straight.
01:53 He kind of hit me on my leg.
01:54 I mean, it could have went both ways,
01:55 but I felt like Scott has been there a long time,
01:59 you know, what he's doing.
02:00 So he made the call.
02:02 So, I mean, we just had to stay in the game.
02:03 I know it was going at the ref a lot,
02:05 but we just had to stay together.
02:10 -Anybody else in the room?
02:11 We're on Zoom. Christos Saltas.
02:13 Go ahead, Christos.
02:15 -Hey, Lou. Congratulations on the win
02:17 and the performance as well.
02:20 What did you mean that's straight
02:22 because it's the third straight win?
02:24 How important for you mentally wise is
02:26 and what would you like to maintain on your game?
02:30 -I mean, it feels good just to win in general.
02:33 I know we got three straight.
02:34 We just got to keep it going.
02:36 I mean, for me personally,
02:37 you just got to keep being confident, you know,
02:40 and teammates and coaches, you know,
02:42 feel a lot of trust in me.
02:43 So I just got to stay the course and really stay confident.
02:46 And, I mean, the whole team,
02:48 we just got to keep playing together
02:50 and looking forward to the next game.
02:54 - All right, thanks Lou.
02:55 - Thanks Lou.
