Just what stood out to you during the game?
18:33
Yeah, I think we were kind of talking about this right before we started recording was just like kind of like the flow of the first few minutes of the game, like, you know, was, was standing outside of the court, like when the team was about to walk in and, and Will Hankey told them as they huddled up, you know, like, you know, like let's punch him in the mouth early, like let's set the tone.
18:55
And like, you know, first basket was like a flurry of a dunga dunk.
19:00
You kind of know from that point on, like, you know, this will probably be easy.
19:04
Like, Going into the game thinking like this should be an easy win, right? We saw them put up 111 points on, you know, I wouldn't say like the same team two years ago, but like similar setting, whatever.
19:17
So you're going into it thinking that this should be a cakewalk, right? And, you know, through the first, I don't know, like 10, 12 minutes of the game, like it was pretty tight.
19:26
Like they could only get as far as six points in front.
22:00
Was it just kind of taking what the defense was giving them or were they still, still dedicated to really trying to use that three point line, even with the personnel they have?
