Speaker 1: I'll start to what you want to present some off
the bench with Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: The bench with Jacob Hester and T Bob aberf the bitch.
Now here's Jacob Hester and T Bob a beer?
Speaker 2: Hello and welcome back our number two of O T
b uh Taylor just laid out in the hour. Give
me a good one for you guys. Really cannot wait
to talk to coach Molky is, like Jake said, I'm
assuming her team getting ready to head out, maybe today,
maybe tomorrow. Gotta go up there all the way to Spokane.
Speaker 3: Spokane, Spokane, Spokane, Riggan Zaga is that?
Speaker 2: Look you don't got no accent. Otherwise you just said
Spokane because that's where my head and I would.
Speaker 3: Have said Gonzaga instead of Gonzaga.
Speaker 2: Wait, which one's the accident?
Speaker 4: Don't let Kelvin Sampson here you say that?
Speaker 3: Oh shit, No, I get I am okay with him
saying the way he said it. Wait what the reporters like,
you know, tell my mother like Gonzaga. He goes, it's Gonzaga.
Speaker 2: What does Gonzaga say?
Speaker 3: Gonzaga? They're the Zags, Okay.
Speaker 2: They say Gonzaga.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, that's like they're the Bulldogs, but they always
go about the Zags, not the Zogs.
Speaker 2: You got a zag when they Zig have always said that.
Shout out Mark Few again. I wonder king Gonzaga continue
to be good in this new era.
Speaker 3: You know what I was saying the tournament game, and
then had a number one seed say, I think, like,
not as good maybe, but.
Speaker 2: You're still going to have smaller schools. That's all they do,
all the resource thrown in. I do think the kind
of middle to lower class Cinderellas are probably out. Yeah right,
Like Gonzaga seems like a rich school to me. I
don't know much about it.
Speaker 3: It's a small Catholic school. Okay, six thousand students.
Speaker 2: Uh, just hit up the pope. I mean, come on,
John Stockton, pass around the collection bucket and let's get
some dogs.
Speaker 3: You know, literally, Kelly Lene hit him.
Speaker 2: Yeah. What's Adam Morrison doing now?
Speaker 3: Podcasts? Really?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: It works still like he was doing radio for the
basketball team.
Speaker 2: I don't think so what that's crazy Thatam Morrison's in media.
You can't get rid of the one thing that defines you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, short hair too.
Speaker 2: I think what yeah, Like, give me a picture of
Adam Morrison. I can't handle this.
Speaker 3: The Perimeter podcast maybe is the name of it.
Speaker 6: Fifty six thousand dollars a year, by the way to wow.
Speaker 2: That's like very so again a rich private school, but
not a ton of like you said, not a ton
of enrollees, but seven and six. You have to imagine, uh,
rich alumni, very rich alumni who only care about that
Crosby what yeah, oh shut up being remember over Christmas,
I fell into a wonderful YouTube hole of watching the
bing Crosby Family specials from TV back in the day.
What an amazing guy big was. Oh my god, he
looks great. Actually, I take back everything I said. Adam
Morrison looks hot. I mean the short hair and the
no mustang like what never mind, he was that good
looking underneath it.
Speaker 3: It makes you wonder what he was doing.
Speaker 2: How angular his chin is, Adam, and he's probably like
what like six seven?
Speaker 3: Yeah, six eight?
Speaker 2: Damn.
Speaker 6: A lot of chief justices from Gonzaga.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, yeah, so they got really just like a
lot of judges. Yeah damn.
Speaker 3: Uh you know what benefit them? What is it if
they went to the Big twelve or something?
Speaker 2: Yeah, to get to get the revenue pad. I mean again,
that's that's what I keep talking about.
Speaker 3: And they're good in baseball too, so they would fit
into the Big twelve model and baseball, they just couldn't
have a football team.
Speaker 2: That's what I keep talking about though, is the twenty
twenty sixth College Football Playoff contract is going to make
all of this worse because the Big Ten and the
SEC are going to be earmarked to basically get double
of that in the Big Twelve in the ACC. And
that's on top of the other TV deals, just the
base TV deals. Like, I don't know how these schools
are supposed to keep pace when I mean, I think, uh,
don't you know, don't I think this is a napkin
math maybe a little uh inaccurate, but I feel like
it's gonna come out to be like thirty million dollars
more a year per school potentially when it's all said
and done. That's crazy. That's crazy. How are you supposed
to keep up with that? I don't know. We'll see. Uh.
I think one way you could keep up with it
is a solid morning routine, right and really, you know,
start your day off right. Maybe an ice bath of
the face, maybe some meditation, some push up, some swimming,
some sprinting.
Speaker 3: Some some push up adjacent looking sprinting. Next too, well,
he was doing.
Speaker 2: The prison push sure keeping time undertention, Jake time undertention.
He was doing a little tiny vibrating push ups. Wouldn't
they little Hatachi push ups? Uh? Ashton Hall though, is
an influencer who if you were on the internet at
all this weekend, you either saw his video or you
saw people making fun of his video. It was a
video of oul and then abs and god, he's got
incredible body.
Speaker 7: It happened so fast, I know, and he's been around
forever weeks ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's just it's how the
internet works. Sometimes things just get hot, and asking all
got hot this weekend and everybody and it was still.
I thought it was amazing. Again, there's some stuff so ridiculous,
the way that people from off camera.
Speaker 3: But breakfast and did the like laptop like real.
Speaker 2: Serious ten thousand? How about we make it get ten thousand? Okay,
that's that's They're always just working on a laptop with
not a pen or paper or headphones or a microphphone
or anything in it's just a laptop a little bit.
But but yeah, I mean at one point shot jump
shot on somebody handsome, deliciships fresh watermelon, which again would
be freaking incredible, like there is not any better food.
When we were in the middle of athletic they water melon.
Shoutout coach. I guess we kind of live with that.
Speaker 5: Ja Yeah, over.
Speaker 2: Benefits japs. The horrifying video in which he's union is
his eye operating on You're going actually turned on the
videos the whole research into what was going on.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Somebody need to tell the other day telling me about some
new face that is be talent based yea, so people
are so you know, was that a Wednesday?
Speaker 4: They different?
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe.
Speaker 4: Be face like remember.
Speaker 2: When it was his talk. Uh wait, so just betel
all over the body. Yeah I heard of that, baby,
and you're telling me this entire time being No, you
talked about it. That's very cood cast.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah yeah before them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, these shows there, it's a very I've talked all
the time show. We've never had the actually because in
the nineties vegetable health concerns.
Speaker 4: Problems, Yeah, different, cheaper, more work.
Speaker 2: Probably, I don't know. But yeah, probably makes sense anyway.
As hall to say to everybody copying.
Speaker 8: I'm here to address the nonsense. So many videos are
being sent to me duplicates of my videos. This is
for the creators that are sick and tired of their
work being copied.
Speaker 2: Listen to me.
Speaker 8: You're either going to be a leader or a follower,
and it's okay to be either one, but you have
to choose. If you're going to be a leader, people
are going to follow you.
Speaker 2: What is the issue.
Speaker 8: I realize that God has me here to lead, not
to follow anyone. So that's what I'm gonna do. When
I see somebody following the way I should be hyped.
I'm not perfect by any means. I used to get
pissed off the running videos at ASMR workouts. I'm not
going to act like I'm a saint. I used to
block anybody who was doing anything similar to me.
Speaker 2: That was me.
Speaker 8: I'm blocking them. Screw them? How could they copy my work?
I work so hard for this. What's wrong with this dude?
Why do the same thing as me?
Speaker 2: What is up? Then?
Speaker 8: I realized, bro, like people follow Jesus because he was
great as a Christian man, why are you angry if
they're following you. Matter of fact, if you're doing something
good with good intentions, this should be a great thing.
So coming from someone who's been in your shoes, just
to know if people are doing what you're doing after
they see what you're doing is working for you. You're doing
something right. Don't allow this to get you upset. This
is the name of the game.
Speaker 2: Oh never mindy out of mic he did Jesus? Look,
I mean, he's not wrong. Jesus had plenty of followers,
still does, maybe as the most followers of just about anybody,
and As is just on that same path. I love
like people are highlighting the hubris of the Jesus line,
the real hubris to me him. Yes it's not claiming
as is claiming well yes that too, actually yes, but
claiming as MR videos as his own creation. The only
dude that's ever done as MR workout videos or just
saying or like sprinting videos. I've seen David Goggins yelling
at me about being a fat pos for years while
like talking about it here, dude, there's there's a SMR
videos all over the internet shout out asking though he's jack.
Speaker 3: One, no per Cary not even two, couldn't even get
the three yards in a cloud of dust.
Speaker 2: If you watched the sprinting videos too. He's got a
little big favor And then when he runs shout out though,
shout out one billy impressions for Ashton over the weekend.
Speaker 3: Oooh a billy.
Speaker 6: Yeah that's crazy.
Speaker 3: That does numbers there, bough in your wallet.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, but it's like everything though, like it's gonna
come and go like next week.
Speaker 6: No one's gonna care about Ashton all.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he needs to just uh, he needs to do
a meme coin right now, strike while the iron's hot,
do a meme coin rug pull everybody, get a payday
and keep it moving.
Speaker 6: I keep seeing the way.
Speaker 7: Of the internet, this conspiracy theory online that I have
not explored quite yet, that hawk Tua killed herself.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's a little dark to bring up
in such a casual way. Yes, no, I know she
did the mean coin thing.
Speaker 6: She disappeared.
Speaker 2: I've seen her on the beach and stuff.
Speaker 4: Though she's just out of like social media and stuff.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean rightfully so, because she even though nobody
ever gets in legal trouble for that stuff, she maybe
potentially could. Yeah, I mean with her that situation where
I think and and this, I don't want to this.
This is definitely not the free pass for everybody. But
I do think there are some situations where somebody comes
to these people with a pitch and they're like, let's
do this, and they're like okay, sure, whatever, and they
don't fully understand what's going on, and then like, oh
my god, I just took millions of dollars from all
my fans.
Speaker 6: This is actually I honestly feel like she didn't, like, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, she hasn't though, like you know, she hasn't tried
to like give them money back. She tried to, like
you know, she didn't really tried to atone.
Speaker 6: So I really do think that she had no idea.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's you know, I don't think her
scam was like oh I cannot wait to mean quinch.
She had a great podcast, things are going great for that.
She had actually parlayed the fifteen minutes in a way
more than she ever should have been able.
Speaker 4: To say that celebrity status, you knew you always had
some sort of short shelf life, Like you knew.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. She was making it. She was
going on Bill maher dominating him. She had her podcast
which wasn't like top five in the world. The talk
to a thing became a meme, and then and then
she just I think, yeah, I kind of agree. Looky,
you know, she was doing all the work support like
dogs and stuff like. I feel like she was actually
pretty sweet. But just guys, don't get into crypto no
until we come out with either O TB coin And
the only difference is we're telling you it's a rug.
Pull Yeah, okay, so be one of the first ones
in at risk so that we can all pull a
rug and make money together on everybody else. Yeah, okay,
you can only be mad at yourself for buying hug
to a coin.
Speaker 4: I mean, yes, if you sit there like, talk to
a coin is what is going to make me money.
The only thing that I hate about that logic is
I do think that it uh it it allows people
to justify a lot of scammy and scummy.
Speaker 2: And bad actions. But I think, well, I think it's
coexisting truth. I think it is really dumb to do that.
But I also think it's really scammy and scummy and
wrong to do the rug pule thing.
Speaker 4: Yes, but so shout out to uh Hank Martin and
the chat bof He gave you a great idea. What
add beef tallow to your meat Vintie machine?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 2: I mean actually yes, actually yes, I had no beef

the blockchain. Come hit us up because I've got the
language down. Look, this is a really exciting project. Okay,

the future and you don't want to be left behind.
We talked about it yesterday with AI. Right, you can
either hop on board or you're gonna end up like
China in the twentieth cent You're gonna end up like
the Luodites back in the day. What's this printing press? No,
you need to hop on board with OTB coin. It's
it's a project that has great potential and again we
are not going anywhere. We are in it for the
long haul. Trust me when I say this, I mean
it's kind of crazy because we do live in a world. Really,

doesn't matter. Uh, let's go ahead and when we get back,

Speaker 4: In the general direction. You actually have to make content.
Speaker 2: I agree. Taylor is a psychopath.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's psychotic behavior. I just asked the question.
Speaker 4: I didn't know the thing, like, was this the thing
you had to pay to do or you got paid

Speaker 1: Back from the break where the sports talk gets real
kind of off the bench and with Hester and t Bob.
Speaker 2: What's going on y'all? Welcome back to Off the Bench.
It's Tuesday at eight thirty and we are the luckiest
show in the country at this time every week because
we are joined by the legend coach Kim Moulkey today
joining us fresh off a hyper impressive thirty point win
one oh one seventy one to thirty one to six
third quarter. That sees your lsu tis once again heading
to the sweet sixteen Coach Molkie, what's going on? Thank
you for joining us. I know it's crazy right now.
How we feeling?
Speaker 5: We feel great. I'm out walking the neighborhood. I'm listening
to the birds thing, I'm looking at the beautiful Scott.
I'm pumping myself up for a four hour flight to Spokane,
Washington today.
Speaker 2: Okay, so we were going to ask about that, but
before we look forward, I want to reflect on a
little bit because it is and after the game you
talked about how look, the goal at LSU is not
to just make Sweet sixteen. It's like, it's good, we're
thankful for it, but that is not the goal here.
And yet I can't help but be struck with how
quickly you've made reaching the sweet sixteen commonplace, Like it
just feels like, okay, yes, of course Elshu will host
and then they'll they'll be in sweet sixteen, and I'll
have a chance to win a national championship. Like it's
I mean, do you do you reflect on it and
and kind of think back, like, man, look at quickly
we've accomplished this.
Speaker 5: I don't know if reflect is the word. I think
I make sure that everybody in this community understands, don't
take this for granted. This is not as easy as
you think it is get to a Sweet sixteen. Five
players in my locker room have never been to a
sweet sixteen. Wow, and you enjoy it. You make sure
that we make a big deal of it. But then
you turn the page and you say, we no longer
have just the goal of getting to the NCAA playoffs.
We no longer have the goal to just make it
to a sweep sixteen. We've tasted what it, you know,
tastes like to win championships and to get to a
final four, and let's just keep that perspective as well.
So I made sure I made those points in the
locker room and made those points at the press conference.
Thought the crowd was great and allow. Once again, it
was a hard start for a lot of people because
they had to come from work. By the time they
got off work and got there, it was a full
house and it was loud as usual.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I know that Florida State kind of saying
they were not going to be intimidated by the p MAC,
but well, I mean, I think of PMX folks for itself.
But coach, you want to ask you about your the
rhythm of the game last night, where your best players
have fouled trouble early on. You have to turn to
some of your bench for near the entirety of the
first half, and they do an excellent job of giving
you a one point lead going into halftime, which in
snowballs into fresh legs in the second half, combined with
some defensive adjustments, lead to an unbelievable thirty one to
six quarter. But what does it like? What can you
carry forward from watching your team show some of that
adaptability in last night's contest.
Speaker 5: I go back to my comments in order for you
to go deep into the playoffs and to win championships,
you better have everybody on the same page at the
same time. And we did these last two games. Our benches,
they've just been so significant the last two games. If
you look at the status seats, Las Day and Mikayla
only played twenty minutes or so, and that's because of
the foul trouble. And I was very pleased going into
half that we were up one and they didn't just
blow us out with all their starters playing in that
first half, and so that third quarter it was almost
like Michayla and Shine and Clay Back, Yeah, they were fresh,
they were ready to go, and we just did a
few adjustments defensively, and I thought those were great adjustments
and then everybody scored the ball, everybody shared the ball.
We broke a record. You had like twenty nine assists
in an NCAA playoff team. You had two post players
that almost had triple doubles. And there's so many records
that were broken last night on the floor, and there's
an old saying, it's amazing what can be accomplished when
no one cares who sees the credit. And when you
have that mindset, you're gonna do game. You're gonna have
games like that.
Speaker 3: The coach, it looked like they took this is a challenge.
You're facing the nation's leading score. You're watching selections Sunday,
and everybody's saying, hey, you know, Florida State, really good
basketball team. Look at their drawl. I don't hate where
they're at, you know, really pumping flour State up because
they're a good basketball team and they got a great player.
But it does seem like your team took that as
a challenge and wanted to go out there and show
exactly what they did last night.
Speaker 5: Well, she certainly is a scoring machine. She had us
on our heels in that first half. That's she herself
is the reason we were in foul trouble, she would
penetrate and we'd reach and but she she gets my respect.
In the second half, we came out and we guarded
her differently, went under screens and said, if she's going
to keep scoring it, she's gonna have to shoot the
three balls. And I want to say, she may have
been like two for ten or something like that from
the three. But I said in the first half that
it wasn't our offense. Hell, we scored fifty points at half,
it wasn't our offense. Our defense had to just get
much better in order to win the ball game.
Speaker 2: And we did.
Speaker 5: And one of the defense guys is, don't give them
that second got man in the first half that their
wings were flying in there above the dang backboard trying
to get rebounds. And I said, oh man, that's some
athletic sism right there, and we just didn't allow them
to get second and third shots. In the second half,
we went under screens and offensively, we pushed the ball better,
we shared the ball better, we made the extra path,
and it was a very one second half to watch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean again, thirty one to six. Never seen
anything like that before. And by the end of the game,
the defense holding Florida State just thirty five percent from
the field. Again, they have twelve assists while y'all shoot
fifty six ers in from the field of twenty nine assists.
So you can just very clearly see the defensive impact there.
I want to ask real quick, then we'll move on
to looking forward. But when it's real quick about the
adjustment made on lats and where instead of trying to
fight through the screen, just going near the give her
a little room to shoot. Who makes that adjustments at Simons?
That Bob's that you? Is that just pulling from years
and years of coaching? How how did that change a
small change that ended up making a big difference.
Speaker 5: Well, Bob starts and Kaylin Wise, those guys watched hours
and hours of film and they come to me with
a game plan. They come to me before you know,
practicing preparing for the game. Here's who we think needs
to guard them, Here's how we think we need to guard,
Here's what we need to do, and then I ultimately
make the final decision. Then at halftime, we couldn't stop
dribble penetration from lapsing, and so we go into the
coach's locker room and we talk about do we need
to switch players on her, do we need to trap her,
what do we need to do to get the ball
out of her hands? And we just made it simple.
We said, go under the screen and make her shoot
the three ball, get on her right hand, don't let
her have any right hand drive. And it worked, and
it worked. So you you talk about things and then
you go into the locker room and you tell them
things that we're doing good, things we're doing bad, and
this is what we're gonna do defensively and change the
script a little bit. But you already have worked on
that in practice the three or four days you were
preparing for them. If this doesn't work, all right, now
you're gonna go guard her. If this doesn't work, well,
you're gonna so you're not throwing things at them that
we have not already gone over in the previous practices.
Speaker 3: So, coach, as we move forward to your next opponent,
it's a team that you've already faced this year.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: That was on November the twenty seventh, and you were victorious,
and it was a great game for the squad eighty
two to sixty five when you're preparing for NC State
this time around. How much do you go back and
watch that game? Do you is it like that the
main focus or do you go back and watch maybe
what they've currently done, because you know, probably not the
same team now that they were in November, nor are
we the same team.
Speaker 5: But what I do is I go back and look
at the scouting report when we played them earlier. What
did we do that was so successful in that game?
Then you go want tough games and good opponents that
they beat, and then you go, okay, what have they changed?
Is anything any different? And go from there. I can
tell you MC State is guard dominant. They'll play four
guards their post game when we play them, and probably
you know, you're not gonna all of a sudden invent
sixty five post players. They don't have the post game
that they had last year when they were in the
Final four. And I feel very confident that we do.
I feel very confident that our post game is playing
its best basketball. But those four guards, you better be
able to move your seat, you better be able to defend.
Because there's some kind of athletic and great basketball players.
Speaker 2: Coach from a kind of trait standpoint it's obvious that
you know what it takes to get here to the
sweet sixteen. Right, what are the traits that you see
in teams that help you get from this point to
the final four? Do you see them in this team?
Speaker 5: You better focus, You better have unbelievable focus in that
film room. You better be able to tell me everything
on that scouting report. You can't. You can't just you know,
fly and float away. You have to know everything because
you're going to see it all in the playoffs when
you get down to sixteen teams. Everybody can coach, those
players can play, and it's usually the little thing that
wins a ball game for you, whether it is a
great defensive play, whether it is a big time shot.
That's that's usually separation there.
Speaker 2: Hey, coach, I did.
Speaker 3: Want to ask you about the travel because we talked
about it earlier with you and this is kind of
where you thought you would end up and you mentioned
four hour plane ride Pacific Northwest, so pretty quick turnaround.
So you're going to leave today. But what's a schedule
kind of look like for you and your team travel,
getting there, practicing, getting ready for the game.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm not real thrilled that we have to play Friday.
That's one less day of preparation. We played what Saturday
Monday this past weekend, and I would like to see
have seen it stay Saturday Monday, but that's not the
way it is. Both games will be Friday. We'll play
at four point thirty their time, which is six thirty
our time.
Speaker 7: Here.
Speaker 5: It is a long plane ride. They tell me altitude
is somewhat of a problem, so I'm glad we're leaving today.
I would have preferred to leave this morning, but the
NCAA takes over everything and they tell us we can't
leave until three. There are four hotels are signed, eight
teams are there, and there'll be two teams per hotel.
My understanding is Oklahoma will be in the hotel with us.
We will get there and do film tonight, and then
tomorrow we'll have to have an off practice site. You're
not allowed to be in the arena until the day
before game, and with eight teams, were only allowed one
hour on that court the day before, and probably no
more than thirty to forty five minutes the day of.
Speaker 2: That's the that's crazy. I didn't know any of that.
So the NCUBLEA just completely takes over, the.
Speaker 5: NCAA takes over the PMAC. Well, you host, you get
out of the way, They tell you what the cost
the tickets are going to be, they move season ticket
holders because you've got four teams that have to have
fans in certain spots in the arena, so they completely
take over everything.
Speaker 2: Coach the last one for me here, and it has
to do with the mentality of your team. When you're
at this stage and both failure and success, right, everything
that you've worked for kind of are lurking around the corner,
and you have multiple days to digest this. How do
you make sure that mentally your team is ready for
that moment, ready for the moment when the game starts
and you know, you get punched in the mouth right
when something doesn't go right. How do you make sure
because obviously last night, look at what they did, they
responded incredibly, Well, how do you get them ready to
take those punches and overcome them.
Speaker 5: Well, you make sure you don't overcoach, and you don't
stay on the floor too long. You make sure in
the film room you get to the point and you
don't do too much. You don't sit in there for hours.
And then the second thing I would say is our
season has prepared us for this moment. Think of how
many close games we have been in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now we.
Speaker 5: Lost a couple lates to Alabama into Oh Miss. I
don't regret any decision I made about fitting flag out.
It did not want single loss bothers me because that's
my personality. But at the cost of what my decision
was not to play her until we get to the playoffs,
it was the right decision. She has got just a
lot more step in her steps, she's healthy, and just
keep doing what you do. The season prepares you for this.
So we've had a lot of close games, and I
hope Old Miss goes and plays UCLA and upsets them,
and then we get a up we get to well,
I guess you say it's an upset because nc Staate
is a two seed and we're three seeds, so I
guess we're not supposed to win. And then I'd love
to see two SECS teams going at it first shot
at the final four. Let me say this, guys before
I hang up. Juju Watkins is a star in our game, yep.
And she went down last night with a ACL injury
on really no, just things you do in the game.
Nobody did anything dirty. It was just so sad to
watch and see. And I knew when she went down
that it was torn. You just know by a look
at the knee, you know, by the reaction of the face.
And just think about that young lady and her family,
and the thing I would tell her as her coach,
is this is fixable. This is fixable. Tamiya Smith is
a great example of that. She's been through two ACL pairs,
one on each knee. But she's such a great ambassador
for our game, and that's gonna be the talk of
the playoffs from here on.
Speaker 2: I mean two a CLSA Schmaiah Smith, Samia Smith and
last night twenty points, twelve boards, six assists in thirty
six minutes the key two when the foul trouble reared
at Tugleyhead. So yeah, great message there to Juju Watkins
er Cap you will come back stronger from this coach.
We really cannot thank you enough. I know it's an
incredibly busy time. Have safe travels, best of luck, all
of batter Rouge, all of Louisiana. Gonna be cheering for
you all and you have an excellent week. Well.
Speaker 5: The only one left in the great foot right with
the only one playing in a tournament. So let's go
make it fun.
Speaker 2: Let's go baby, support the boot, support this LSU Women's
Vassalle team. Thank you, coach, appreciate it, Coach Coach Kim Mulky,
living legend. Not often like that's not hyperbole. Not often
Again you say that it's not hyperbole, And I mean,
what a what a thoughtful person to to out of nowhere,
shut out juju watkins like that and just kind of
point out that at these times just empathy and and
and you know, supporting her are important to think about. God,
I love coach m anyway, Uh, when we get back

off the Bench with Hester and t Bob.
Speaker 2: What's happening in Okay? Taylor? I told you with a
minute left because we go along with coach as we
do every week. She's an absolute legend as we should.
Cannot wait to watch the SELISHU team try to make
the Final four again, one game at a time. But
you got to feel pretty confident and that this is
the team that you've already beaten. Pretty handily this year.
But it's a termament whatever you know, went whatever. But
I said, Taylor, we got a minute. You come up
with this segment. So Taylor, what have you found?
Speaker 4: But I'll actually give you credit for this one. This
is something you mentioned earlier this morning. Carolyn Pickens the
standout pitcher for the Tennessee Volunteers. They recently played Duke
and she hit a seventy eight point two miles an
hour on one of her pitches. Now, you know that
sounds kind of fast, but that is the fastest softball
pitch in NCAA college softball history. Craziest part her and
Ben Joyce, former Tennessee baseball player. Tennessee now owns the
fastest softball pitch and baseball pitch in college history. Ben
Joyce hit one hundred and five point five miles per hour.
This softball pitch is equivalent to like one hundred and
ten mile an hour fastball. I mean, this is like
a Rallis Chapman territory. This is insane.
Speaker 2: Even more so, there we go to the nice job.
You covered it all our three Nick Underhill coming up
next hill. It's gonna ta tat vill start of today today.
