00:04There's been a lot that's been going on this season with the injuries, the streak.
00:08Does a win like today sort of feel like a weight lifted off your shoulders?
00:15Oh, maybe not my shoulders.
00:18I mean, the guys were feeling it, you know.
00:21Been a long six weeks, you know, that's for sure.
00:25For them, you know, as much or more than our staff, you know, it's hard on guys.
00:33You know, their expectations were high and, you know, Nate, you know, he's not playing the way Nate's capable of,
00:40but he's pushing through with, you know, a couple of ankles that are tender.
00:45You know, we don't have our quarterback, Jackson.
00:48You know, Dev was supposed to be our defensive stopper.
00:51Big E was just starting to play well, and he gets hurt.
00:55So, you know, the consistency that I keep harping for has been hard just because we haven't had a rotation.
01:03You know, guys don't know when they're going in.
01:06I don't know how many starting lineups we've had, but we've had a bunch.
01:09You know, we just, we don't have what you should have in February.
01:15You know, a rotation, everything's set in stone.
01:20You know, getting ready to play your best basketball.
01:26We're way behind because of just inconsistent lineups, not knowing who's available, who's not available.
01:35But, you know, you go into the year, you know, you got Nate as your preseason all-conference.
01:41You know, you got Jackson as your preseason all-conference.
01:45K.J. coming back, you feel really good about those three.
01:48T.K.
01:49And then Dev was supposed to be our defensive stopper, you know, and he's been out a lot.
01:54And even when he's been in, he's been nursing a groin injury.
01:58So, it's just been tough on him.
02:01And he's been in a buttock.
