You guys were hyped in that first half flying around. Uh, I mean, um, I mean, that's just kind of who we are, that's who we try to be every game. Um, but, uh, you know, it, it was that second half. Um, they, they kind of ran away with the lead and it just, you know, we just got disconnected. It's a more frustrating case that you guys were missing shots at home because this is your home. Exactly. Yeah. Um, you know, we, it is home and then we try our best to protect home and, you know, it just wasn't falling and it's been like that, um, for me in particular the past few games and, uh, we just got to get it going because that's gonna be essential for us to be successful. I think I'm gonna try to work through that personally for you with shot's not following it, just keep, keep shooting. Hopefully they start going. Yeah, I mean, that simple, um, you know, one of the best things that, you know, teams are gonna give them up, um, you just gotta, you know, knock it down. One good thing about everybody in here. Is that everybody works on it. Um It's not like, you know, we're just showing up and playing with me, we're working on it. It's just, it's just gotta go our way in the game and it will, it, this team, how do you get different guys to just flush this thing? I mean, you know, one right now right around the corner at Louisville, um, a team that, you know, is trying to get going. So we stay AC CC. You know, you gotta have a short memory, learn from your mistakes and you know, prepare fast for the next one. Is that the message? Yeah, pretty much. Um you know, one of the biggest message is that, um you know, just trying to stay um connected for a full 40 40 minutes. Um you know, it was just, we just went on spurts where, you know, we just didn't share the ball or, you know, we weren't connecting on the defensive end and I showed the assist numbers after at halftime. I mean, it was just, you know, they just kept the game simple, you know, we, we made a compliment on a positive note. I asked 1000 career point for the VTU to kind of hit that mark and have it happen here on home court. Um Yeah, I mean, it's a, it's a good feeling, um wish I would have came with a win but, uh you know, it's, it's, you know, I'm, I'm glad I was able to do it in here at home and in front of this amazing crowd of sold out land and, uh you just gotta keep building not being connected. What was the difference in today's game rather than Saturday and kind of that sense of the game? What was the difference? Oh, man, I mean, they just kept getting offensive rebounds. Um, and, uh, we, uh, we just, you know, like I said, I mean, our assist numbers were better Saturday. We were, um just, you know, passing it moving, it, um, made the defense work a little more Saturday than the night. So, um, we're gonna definitely gonna learn from this. I mean, this is, it's only January, you know, but, uh, like at the end of the day, we're still heading in the right direction.
