I probably crazy 48 hours for you. How did you feel out there? You looked like everything was fine. Were you 100%? Yeah. Yeah. Um, you know, I'm very, very thankful it, uh, you know, it wasn't, wasn't anything too bad and I would be able to, I was, I was able to play today. Um, you know, like I said, just, just really thankful for that. When did you know you were gonna be able to play tonight? Um, I mean, I've been feeling really good the last 24 hours. Um, so, yeah, probably I'd say that they've been price in, um, doing everything. So, yeah. What, uh, who was the team that to about coming off that, what do you guys want to accomplish tonight? Yeah, I mean, you know, coming off of a really hard loss, um, you know, we need to make ourselves known again. We need to, you know, make a, make a statement to everyone, um, especially coming off a hard loss like that, you know, there's, um, so much, so much more, um, positive things to look, to look for and us as a team and what we're capable of and we're not gonna let what happened last game affect how we play tonight. I think you all have, I think 10 turnovers in the first half and I don't know the exact number, but I don't think it worth like three in the second half, a lot less for sure. It was four. What was that intentional or was it just kind of? Yeah, I mean, I, I think in the, in the first half, you know, we were, we were making our shots really, we were, we were making some really good shots. Um, you know, but we're also trying to do a little too much. We're taking one extra dribble when we should have, we should have passed it one more, something like that. So that's where those extra turnovers came in and, you know, coach, uh, re regrouped our mindsets. Um, you know, remember that it's all about duke winning, um, things like that that really helped us play, play a lot better together on the offensive end in the second half. I, I know you, you know, Jeremy, well enough to expect games like this, but what he does as a Fishman is Ryan, I think 40% from three this season. Um, it doesn't remind you of how nice it is to have someone like him on this. Yeah, it's incredible, especially playing with him last year and just seeing the growth from him from junior to senior year, you know, I mean, I wasn't here to witness his first two years, but just what he's done from last year to this year with his efficiency with him being, um, you know, uh uh really fo um falling into that leadership role a lot better, I think. Um, you know, he's really, he's really playing for, for us, he's playing for, you know, our teammates out there on the, on the court and, and that's, um, you know, that's exactly the type of person player we need out of Jeremy, especially if, if we wanna take this all the way to the final four. you know, so he's doing a really good job with that. Yeah, yeah, I mean, um you know, obviously it's been, it's been super crazy just with uh everything going around and, um of course, you know, I have my, my opinions. Um I, I uh try to keep to myself and, and, and not share much of just because, um, you know, I'm trying to stay focused on, on the team, stay, stay focused on us winning things like that and not get too wrapped up into um what we did, what and what happened. Um, you know, so it's just been a lot of focus on us as a, as us, us as a team. Um, you know, and just, uh you know, guys like Tyrese
