Yeah, it was one of our most complete performance performances of the season, maybe our most complete, you know, I said that a little bit ago when we, when we played Georgia Tech, but I think this was um just a more well rounded performance overall. Um, you know, on the glass, obviously, we were dominant, um defensively, we were sharp um attention to detail with the scheme was very good. And then, um you know, offensively, we had contributions from a lot of different players. So, um just really pleased with their response from Sunday, Sunday. We, we played below our capability. Certainly, our opponent had a lot to do with that and it was nice to see a bounce back win for our team. That might be a bit of an answer to my question here. But I know you've said that this season is, is a roller coaster. It's been a ride. Where is a moment like this? Where does that line up on, on the ride for you? You know, II I love this win for a lot of reasons and, and, and, and honestly not, the margin is not like the greatest reason like this. Could have been a six point win or a 16 point win. I love it because of the bounce back from Sunday. I think it's really critical in our league and just in competition in general that when you do drop a game, that your response, what, what's your response? You know, how well do you play and can, can you make that shift because, um, you know, it's really hard to lose games and sometimes players get, get their confidence, their confidence is a little bit lower. Or sometimes, um you know, you, the, the group itself is maybe questioning things like there's just a lot of things that can happen with losing. And I'm just so proud of my young team that they just stayed focused and confident in what we're doing, which they've done all year. They've never, they've never wavered. And that makes me feel really good because that's, that's a show of resilience and that's such an essential quality in a team in a player in life is that you have the ability to bounce back. And so that's probably what I'm most proud of in this win, even though there's obviously a lot to, to be excited about.
