00:00 It was like a few games here.
00:07 Just overall, what is your main takeaway for this one?
00:11 Is it the overtime?
00:12 It's so sad that the fourth kind of stands out to you about the slump.
00:15 Well, the fourth three were terrific.
00:17 The fourth time was a plus seven.
00:19 Then the 24, the start of the overtime hurts.
00:24 We had a good possession, some makeable shot, bad possession.
00:29 There were four that would come down and I made a great pass, which is a huge play.
00:34 So it's six right away.
00:37 But the game went on.
00:40 They did in Chicago, they committed the second, defended Terri in every situation.
00:46 And with the other guys we have right now, it's not easy.
00:50 I think Terri had a big match this year, fourth quarter.
00:53 So she came to a lot of this performance.
00:55 I think she kept us in the game.
00:59 It was great.
01:00 Shot making, it was phenomenal.
01:12 Going off what you said about Terri and Olivia, how they brought the second defender over,
01:15 is there going to be an emphasis going forward at teams to keep the points high?
01:19 Yeah, I mean, they double teamed them a lot all year.
01:23 Right now, the guys in the tight end usually look pretty good against them.
01:27 Right now, playing this team, it's a double team.
01:33 It doesn't make sense.
01:38 Just tonight, Brad Miller, we haven't had a rough go.
01:41 Well, he's really sick.
01:43 He has to stop the game twice.
01:45 A lot of guys probably wouldn't even play him.
01:47 He was sick at the end of the road trip.
01:50 He wants to play.
01:53 He's trying hard.
01:56 He's team oriented.
01:59 Obviously, with Cody, at the end of the day, how does he feel?
02:04 We'll see.
02:05 Hopefully, it's not going to be a game where he's going to be exhausted.
02:10 I'm going to have to mark that.
02:13 Obviously, he's going to be out.
02:15 What do you see with him in terms of his progression?
02:18 I mean, we don't see him.
02:21 That's where we're at.
02:23 Coach, you can't play 32 and that's the end of the game.
02:26 What's going to be like out on Sunday?
02:28 He can score.
02:30 We need points right now.
02:33 He's a good competitor.
02:36 Not afraid to take a big shot.
02:39 It's a good learning experience for him.
02:43 Things like this, when you miss so many guys,
02:46 the guys who are more comfortable,
02:48 they're kind of a little bit more likely to be good.
02:50 You can't spend minutes without having a good game.
02:52 Yeah, oh, for sure.
02:53 I mean, that's part of all of it.
02:56 These guys, I mean, even Miles is playing 40 minutes every night.
03:01 He can't keep doing that all day.
03:03 Right now, I don't think we're going to win those long trips.
03:07 Good.
