00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,719
basketball team. We've got former bucket getter of Brigham himself,

19
00:00:51,799 --> 00:00:53,840
Lee Kamard, head coach of the women's basketball team.

20
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: What's up, Lee, not a whole lot.

21
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,439

hopping on and talking some basketball right now. Man, this

23
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,799
team great basketball team. You guys are trending in the

24
00:01:07,879 --> 00:01:11,680
right direction. How would you summarize the season from your purview?

25
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,560
From your perch thus far?

26
00:01:15,359 --> 00:01:18,239
Speaker 3: You know, we've had some really great things happen. We've

27
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,239
had some tough, tough nights, but overall, I think as

28
00:01:22,239 --> 00:01:26,640
a group we're improving. And I mean right now, we

29
00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:29,840
got some momentum going and it's really fun. It's a

30
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,599
great group. And just please with how they've progressed you

31
00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:34,400
to this point.

32
00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 4: You know.

33
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, there's always ups and downs in every season.

34
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,519
Twenty and nine though, that's a solid record. In the

35
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,120
last six, you guys are three and three. I know

36
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,920
you're on a two game skid right now. UCF and

37
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,719
West Virginia competitive, but just fell short.

38
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: What happened in.

39
00:01:51,959 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: Those two specific games that you want to get remedied

40
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,959
going into these final two regular season games versus Sincia

41
00:01:58,959 --> 00:01:59,640
and Texas Tech.

42
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:04,359
Speaker 3: Ben, you should be asking, kay, why there are some

43
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,120
of the men's coaches. I'm in Kansas City getting ready

44
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,199
for the Big twelve tournament.

45
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's oh my gosh, that's my bad, dude.

46
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:11,680
I'm sitting there.

47
00:02:11,719 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: I just pulled up the roster or the schedule there

48
00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:17,639
and it was the wrong shit. I'm like, wait, can

49
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,159
you give me a breakdown right now of how you

50
00:02:20,199 --> 00:02:23,360
feel about your squad though heading into the Big Twelve tournament.

51
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 3: Like where they're at. We got some momentum going, like

52
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:35,199
I said, and I feel like we have some things

53
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,199
to do that we haven't done in this league yet,

54
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,520
and have done some things that we haven't done yet.

55
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,400
So it's really exciting time. This is kind of I mean,

56
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,560
the Big Twelve is just so much fun because on

57
00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:49,240
a given night, you could be playing a top ten

58
00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:52,840
team and you know, or winning.

59
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 4: On the road at a place that you haven't won

60
00:02:54,719 --> 00:02:55,199
it yet.

61
00:02:55,759 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 3: And one of the things that we haven't done since

62
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,719
join the league is winning a conference tournament game, and

63
00:03:01,759 --> 00:03:04,960
so that's kind of where our focus has been since

64
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,319
the regular season ended.

65
00:03:07,719 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that the three game winning streak though heading

66
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:15,280
into the Big Twelve tournament, Youtah, Arizona State, Colorado. As

67
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:18,560
I mentioned, you guys are on a steady trajectory right

68
00:03:18,599 --> 00:03:21,599
now and playing with confidence. What has been kind of

69
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,599
the difference in these last three games versus the two

70
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,680
prior where you fell short to Colorado and Cincinnati.

71
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,199
Speaker 3: You know, each of those games kind of had a

72
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,800
different I don't know what you want to call it,

73
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,120
but a turning point or whatever that were so good

74
00:03:39,199 --> 00:03:40,280
for our group and.

75
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 4: The growth of the group. You know, we were down.

76
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: Significantly at Arizona State at halftime and came out and

77
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,599
I just had a great second half. And then we

78
00:03:53,039 --> 00:03:55,840
had a loll against Colorado in the third quarter where

79
00:03:55,879 --> 00:04:00,439
we gave up percent from the field and then just

80
00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:02,439
turn it on and flipped it in the fourth quarter

81
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,599
and guarded like crazy and scored a bunch of points.

82
00:04:05,639 --> 00:04:07,879
And then, of course you always want to beat your rival,

83
00:04:07,919 --> 00:04:11,479
but it's been there's been points into these last three

84
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,560
games where you know, maybe in the regular season we

85
00:04:14,599 --> 00:04:17,920
would have kind of just folded or turned it in

86
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,399
for the day, but we stuck with it and found

87
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,439
our stride and we're able to just stay with it

88
00:04:26,519 --> 00:04:29,160
and show some great and toughness, and I think that's

89
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,600
huge for our group as we entered the Big Twelve tournament.

90
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 2: I know, Gab who's been really a great score down

91
00:04:36,399 --> 00:04:39,920
the stretch, taking on maybe a large role more volume.

92
00:04:40,079 --> 00:04:43,480
I know, we all know she's been talented. What growth

93
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,800
have you seen from Gibb down the stretch.

94
00:04:46,959 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean she's a tremendous player. And for every

95
00:04:50,959 --> 00:04:54,319
other team that we play, she's the bulls eye player.

96
00:04:54,439 --> 00:04:56,040
She gets all the time and attention.

97
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,319
Speaker 4: She's the focal point. And we have some.

98
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 3: Really talented other players. But she's been tremendous as she's

99
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,600
come back from injury and kind of got her rhythm

100
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:11,399
back and the timing and the conditioning back. She just

101
00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:14,439
is progressing more and more each day as far as

102
00:05:14,519 --> 00:05:17,079
just you know, what we thought she was gonna be

103
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,079
all season, and it's really fun to see and I

104
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,439
think it's a true testament to who she is. She's

105
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,160
in the gym every day at eight am and getting

106
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:30,720
extra work in except for on game days, and never

107
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,000
satisfied and you always.

108
00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:34,879
Speaker 4: Love to see hard work get rewarded.

109
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:41,199
Speaker 3: And she's just been tremendous at distributing scoring, closing out games.

110
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 4: I think she's really kind of stride of just.

111
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,959
Speaker 3: Closing out games against big twelve teams, and that's something

112
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,519
that she didn't have to do a whole lot last

113
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,360
year and she's We've asked her to do it, and

114
00:05:54,439 --> 00:05:55,519
she's done a great job.

115
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,639
Speaker 4: She's obviously had help, but just.

116
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: A tremendous player. And I know, talking with a lot

117
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,000
of the coaches in the league, they just have so

118
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,720
much respect for her and the impact she has on winning.

119
00:06:07,439 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 2: You know, there's ebbs and flows in like recruiting and

120
00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:14,439
development within like the traditional byu LDS pipeline, but it

121
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,639
seems like, you know, consecutive years of elite guards that

122
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,800
can come in and score and distribute and make your

123
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,839
team better at Livy Hamlin is your second leading scorer

124
00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:29,680
and just a phenomenal freshman in the Santa Clara, Utah

125
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,160
not too far down, not too far away from from Provo.

126
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,759
You need to have, you know, complimentary pieces to primary

127
00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:39,879
ball header's primary scores, and Olivey has been there for

128
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:40,839
you as a freshman.

129
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, lived doing great.

130
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,079
Speaker 3: She continues to get more and more comfortable at this level.

131
00:06:48,439 --> 00:06:50,600
I think over the course of the last six games,

132
00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:54,759
she's averaging seventeen or almost seventeen a game, which is

133
00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:59,639
huge because this league is so tough, and she's a scorer.

134
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,920
I mean, every time I come on here, you call

135
00:07:01,959 --> 00:07:04,199
me a bucket getter. I'm not nearly the bucket getter

136
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,240
that she is. She's a flat out bucket getter, and

137
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,680
she just getting more and more comfortable at this speed,

138
00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:17,480
at this athleticism and size, and look for more of

139
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,839
that from her going forward.

140
00:07:21,439 --> 00:07:23,759
Speaker 2: In your first year lead, how would you evaluate and

141
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:30,000
grade yourself self scout for me your coaching ability thus far?

142
00:07:30,079 --> 00:07:31,439
Like what have you learned about yourself?

143
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

144
00:07:32,199 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: Like, if you can kind of introspectively, you're twenty and

145
00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:35,519
ten right now.

146
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: It's a good first year.

147
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,199
Speaker 2: Big twelve basketball is no joke, and give me a

148
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:42,639
little self scout right now.

149
00:07:44,199 --> 00:07:46,759
Speaker 3: I mean if you would ask me in September, hey,

150
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,240
you go twenty and ten and nine and nine, I

151
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,480
probably would have taken that. And now that we're here,

152
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,519
there's a couple of games that I would love to

153
00:07:55,519 --> 00:07:58,399
have back, or decisions that I would love to have back,

154
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,560
as it pertains a winning a basketball game.

155
00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:03,439
Speaker 4: But but I.

156
00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:06,279
Speaker 3: Also think that on the normal year, nine to nine

157
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:09,319
probably finishes better than ninth in the league. And for

158
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,000
our first year for our program, I think it's I

159
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,120
think it's a good place. We've got some momentum, Like

160
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,839
I said, a solid foundation. That's still I mean, we'll

161
00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:21,920
see what comes over to the end of this year,

162
00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:25,360
but but really please with the group that we have

163
00:08:25,519 --> 00:08:29,680
and what we've we've done with this group. And for me,

164
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,080
people ask me all the time like, hey, what's what's

165
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,960
the biggest difference, And for me, it's just constantly my

166
00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:41,000
brain is just on something that has to do with basketball,

167
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:43,840
with the program, so that that that's probably been the

168
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,679
most alarming or not alarming, but just the most biggest change,

169
00:08:48,879 --> 00:08:54,480
biggest a difference, and just trying to help players, the

170
00:08:54,519 --> 00:08:58,039
staff and just want to be as successful as possible.

171
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: As a player.

172
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,039
Speaker 2: I know from personal experience, you were a gym rat

173
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,639
as a coach, you know, you.

174
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: A film rat? Is that is that what you watch most? Though?

175
00:09:09,039 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: Is that where you and kind of like a preparation

176
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,960
mindset you you talk about, you know, like your mind

177
00:09:15,039 --> 00:09:17,799
is always going, so like where do you spend most

178
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:18,600
of your time?

179
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: Then? Is whatever?

180
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 3: There's film for sure, and sometimes you got more a

181
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,960
couple extra days, you know, you play Saturday and then

182
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,799
Wednesday you got to you got it Sunday to kind

183
00:09:30,799 --> 00:09:34,679
of fill with. But but but just the amount of

184
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,480
time just sitting around thinking about things, you know, whether

185
00:09:38,519 --> 00:09:39,679
it's on the court off.

186
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,519
Speaker 4: The court, how you do this, how you do that?

187
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 3: You know. I'll just give you an example. So we

188
00:09:44,159 --> 00:09:47,320
played tomorrow one point thirty. We have a shoot around

189
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,279
time that's early tomorrow morning, and I have yet to

190
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,600
decide are we going to take the shoot around in

191
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,320
the gym or not? Are we going to err on

192
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,440
the side of letting our players sleep? And how important

193
00:09:59,519 --> 00:10:01,639
is that to the group and do a walk through?

194
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,559
So I spend a lot of time, probably more than

195
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,240
I probably should. But as I go through this the

196
00:10:08,279 --> 00:10:10,039
first time, and as we go through it, as the

197
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,879
staff just deciding on certain things like that, it was

198
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,519
more important, you know, Uh is it? Is it walking

199
00:10:18,519 --> 00:10:21,200
through stuff? Is it getting up and getting our bodies moving?

200
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,080
Is it more sleep? And and and you're just racking

201
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,759
your brain over what is going to help you the most.

202
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 4: So that's a small example.

203
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 3: But I spend an inordant amount of time on dumb

204
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,399
stuff like that.

205
00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:37,879
Speaker 2: That's not tough stuff, man, Those are competitive. Like we

206
00:10:37,919 --> 00:10:41,960
all know, there's there's a correlation between like sleep and

207
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:47,440
like like energy and mental acuity and all those things. So,

208
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,720
uh no, I think it's Uh, it's bandwidth that's well allocated.

209
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:53,279
Speaker 4: Uh.

210
00:10:53,639 --> 00:10:55,879
Speaker 2: From a strategy standpoint, to get the most out of

211
00:10:55,919 --> 00:10:58,279
your your squad, your team. We got Leakmart head coach

212
00:10:58,279 --> 00:11:00,720
b who wins basketball and prep for the twenty twenty

213
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,440
six Philips sixty six Big twelve Women's Basketball Tournament.

214
00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: You're gonna be facing Houston.

215
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:08,879
Speaker 2: It's a one thirty pm Mountain time tip off tomorrow

216

220
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:21,039
Coogs right now.

221
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, we played them once already, but they have three

222
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,720
of their top players suspended from the previous game there

223
00:11:28,759 --> 00:11:31,919
was an altercation, so we're really playing a completely new

224
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,279
team and kind of the message to the group the

225
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,639
whole time has been, hey, people are gonna want to

226
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,399
talk to you about the path to the Big twelve

227
00:11:40,519 --> 00:11:44,480
championship or hey, where you guys ad with the NCAA tournament.

228
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,399
Speaker 4: But I just give him a.

229
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 3: Charge today completely focused on the Houston Cougars.

230
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 4: We'll worry about.

231
00:11:50,799 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 3: After them, after them, you know, and they do a

232
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,200
great job and it's something that we're not really it's

233
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:57,960
not our strength.

234
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 4: You know.

235
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,399
Speaker 3: They just try to beat you off the ounce and

236
00:12:00,759 --> 00:12:02,960
cross you up and get to the paint. And we

237
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,440
got to do a good job of keeping our chest

238
00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:08,639
in front of the person that re guarding and make them.

239
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 4: Score over us there.

240
00:12:09,759 --> 00:12:12,759
Speaker 3: They they're really really good. I get into the foul

241
00:12:12,759 --> 00:12:14,600
line to score as well, and that's going to be

242
00:12:14,639 --> 00:12:15,200
a factor.

243
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: Uh.

244
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,799
Speaker 4: And and just their athleticism and length is.

245
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 3: You know, been troublesome for us against you know, length

246
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,440
and athleticism this season.

247
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,759
Speaker 4: So we got to work cut out for us.

248
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 3: And for them, they kind of get kind of a

249
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,279
whole new uh breath of life.

250
00:12:33,039 --> 00:12:35,919
Speaker 4: You know starting the postseason. Uh.

251
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 3: And they they didn't have a great regular season, but

252
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,679
for them, they they're coming in guns blazing and they

253
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:48,919
know that they can reinvigorate kind of their season, uh

254
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,240
with with a couple of wins. So that that's kind

255
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,799
of been the focus. And then just trying to keep

256
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,679
them mentally fresh and physically fresh.

257
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 5: Question for you, Uh, I'm a big social media guy.

258
00:13:02,879 --> 00:13:05,840
Saw the b A women's basketball team yesterday was all

259
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,879
talking about their pre you know game hype song. I

260
00:13:08,879 --> 00:13:11,679
need to know what is coach kamares pre game.

261
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,039
Speaker 1: I need to know.

262
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,919
Speaker 3: You want you want to know it as a player, as.

263
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 1: A coach, both boff, both coach.

264
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 3: I mean, of course there's some jay Z as a player,

265
00:13:27,639 --> 00:13:30,440
but I shouldn't say that I liked everybody back in

266
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,000
the day, little Wayne jay Z, Rick Ross. Uh, you

267
00:13:35,039 --> 00:13:38,720
can throw some country in there, a lot lot slower

268
00:13:38,919 --> 00:13:44,000
and more relaxing now with probably some country, some Luke Combs,

269
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,600
some Cody Johnson, some some Lee Brice occasional show tunes

270
00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:51,399
in there, and I feel like I need a little

271
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,519
little little bump maybe uh baby Keeam and Kendrick Lamar

272
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:56,960
family ties or something.

273
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 4: You know.

274
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,759
Speaker 2: There you go, get the playlist, Uh share it publicly.

275
00:14:02,799 --> 00:14:05,600
I want I want that Lee Kamar playlist prior to

276
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,759
tip off so we can get in the right mindset

277
00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:09,200
prior to this Houston game.

278
00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: A couple less things before we let you go.

279
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,759
Speaker 2: We appreciate you hopping on to give us an update

280
00:14:12,799 --> 00:14:16,240
on your on your squad and obviously what they've accomplished

281
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,440
as far and what what you have planned for this

282
00:14:18,519 --> 00:14:21,840
team in the in the Big Twelfth Tournament, do you

283
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:27,080
feel like this women's team can go deep in this.

284
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,519
Speaker 1: Big twelfth tournament? Okay? And if so, what will it

285
00:14:30,559 --> 00:14:32,799
look like? You know, how, how will you guys get there?

286
00:14:34,879 --> 00:14:37,519
Speaker 4: Yeah? I think we have the capability of it.

287
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 3: And I'm gonna been you know, I'm not gonna go there.

288
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:43,919
I'm going to give you the cliche answer.

289
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 6: We gotta we gotta focus on the Houstons, I know,

290
00:14:49,279 --> 00:14:52,879
but but but but truly, uh, we we have yet

291
00:14:52,879 --> 00:14:54,960
to win a game in this tournament, you know, and

292
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,639
that that's a data point.

293
00:14:57,679 --> 00:14:57,919
Speaker 4: You know.

294
00:14:58,159 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 3: Twenty games was something that we didn't like set out

295
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,679
to do, but it's something that we have yet to.

296
00:15:04,559 --> 00:15:05,279
Speaker 4: Do in a while.

297
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,919
Speaker 3: And going five hundred in league, and you know, we

298
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,200
wanted to finish in the top eight.

299
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,559
Speaker 4: We're just outside of it.

300
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,039
Speaker 3: And win a game in a big twelve tournament, and

301
00:15:16,159 --> 00:15:18,200
obviously we want to get to the NCAA tournament. So

302
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,799
a win tomorrow would be huge because it's just something

303
00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:25,879
we have yet to do or just kind of and

304
00:15:25,919 --> 00:15:28,879
not that that's good enough or but it's just you know,

305
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,759
we want to continue to climb and achieve some of

306
00:15:32,799 --> 00:15:34,159
those points along the way that.

307
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:34,919
Speaker 4: Have yet to be done.

308
00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I want to celebrate that real quick.

309
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: You know that that twenty win threshold and look, we're

310
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,679
not you know, there's still work to be done, and

311
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,639
I understand that, but it's pretty impressive. I remember during

312
00:15:48,639 --> 00:15:50,720
the Dave Rose era, right, we were talking about all

313
00:15:50,799 --> 00:15:55,080
the consecutive twenty plus win seasons and it was like

314
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,399
a benchmark, right.

315
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,399
Speaker 1: It was it was quota, man, it was quota. It

316
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:00,720
was the xecation.

317
00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:04,799
Speaker 2: So I know, You've got high expectations for your squad

318
00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:08,519
and I'm looking at everything within BA Athletics. I'm looking

319
00:16:08,559 --> 00:16:11,519
at the recruiting, I'm looking at the resources, and like,

320
00:16:11,559 --> 00:16:15,519
when you envision the future of BA women's basketball, can

321
00:16:15,559 --> 00:16:19,279
we do you believe that that can be the quota?

322
00:16:19,519 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: Right? It was something that you were well familiarly familiar.

323
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 2: With in your era going forward and to the fans

324
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,159
and listeners and the donors and the corporate sponsors, et cetera. Like,

325
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:30,879
it's one of the reasons why I believe, Hey, you

326
00:16:30,919 --> 00:16:33,559
guys should buy into this is my pitch. Do you

327
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,919
buy into Lee coom mardin this BA wmen's basketball team

328
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,399
because of the expectation, the vision, the standard.

329
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I believe it will become kind of

330
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,720
the norm for a program.

331
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:46,879
Speaker 4: H And.

332
00:16:49,679 --> 00:16:52,639
Speaker 3: It is about winning for sure, Like it's about winning,

333
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,240
But I love that we've continued to get better as

334
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,639
a season's gone. We've had some setbacks and we've got

335
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,000
shown great resilience of getting up after you know, we

336
00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:06,920
got pounded at Colorado and then came home and lost

337
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,240
a close one to one of the lower end teams

338
00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:13,759
of the league as far as the standings are concerned,

339
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,759
and had staring at our arrival on the road and

340
00:17:16,799 --> 00:17:19,119
there was Little State on the road and that team again,

341
00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:22,400
and we could have been like great, great year, you know,

342
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,880
and they just they just continue to fight, and I'm glad.

343
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:26,599
Speaker 4: To see them rewarded.

344
00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 3: I do think it will become more of the norm,

345
00:17:30,079 --> 00:17:33,519
and it has been. You know, the Jetty era was

346
00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:38,599
filled with twenty plus win season and it's just the thing.

347
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 4: Where end this league.

348
00:17:39,559 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 3: If you can finish five hundred or above, you're staring

349
00:17:43,279 --> 00:17:46,559
NCAA tournament straight in the face. And you know, we

350
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,960
just want to continue to climb, you know whatever that

351
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,559
looks like, hey, we finished ninth this year, can we

352
00:17:52,599 --> 00:17:57,240
improve that next year? And we finished twenty wins can

353
00:17:57,279 --> 00:17:57,839
we improve that?

354
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 4: And you know, however many games we win.

355
00:17:59,799 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 3: In the twelve tournament, can we improve on that? And

356
00:18:02,799 --> 00:18:06,160
I think if we stay there, we got got some

357
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:07,200
good things happening.

358
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 4: I think will it'll it will be great.

359
00:18:10,079 --> 00:18:13,079
Speaker 2: Lee, good luck versus Houston and I can't wait to

360
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,160
watch the mall on ESPN Plus on the stream.

361
00:18:17,039 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: Take down them Devis Houston Cougar tomorrow.

362
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 4: Thank you, appreciate it. They go.

363
00:18:22,519 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 2: That's Lee Kamard, head coach BAU women's basketball. They're twenty

364
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,960
and ten heading into the Big twelve Tournament. We wish

365
00:18:29,079 --> 00:18:30,960
them luck. They got a good squad. I think they

366
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,160
can go deep in the Big twelve Tournament. But one

367
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,720
at a time. As Eve reminded us, that's our segment.
