Transcript

00:00Do you do and what role does Kiki play in ensuring that the team just stays focused on themselves and doesn't get

00:08Overly reactive to a lot of the exchanges and conversations on the court

00:11Yep, I mean you heard every reference it kind of the the terminology I use in it

00:17Just that there's no punks in our locker room, right? Like, you know the the there was a comment

00:21I think you know from one of their players after their last game that oh, you know an SEC and we're tough and
