00:00Yeah, and then we kind of got to talk about Elijah's second game in a row with 20 plus points,
00:03kind of taking off that rust. What do you think of his performance?
00:05No, Elijah's been phenomenal. Obviously, you know, we wanted to put the ball in his hands at the end of
00:09the game. He made a couple big three free throws. And then, you know, he's stumbling and still figures out
00:16a way we did not want to settle. And super proud of the fact that as a freshman, he took
00:20some, you know, some contact and didn't settle. And, you know, the thing was go to the rim, try to
00:26put pressure on the rim.
00:28And if we could draw free throws attempted, and if not, you know, get an easy bucket, which that wasn't
00:34an easy basket at all, but it was a heck of a shot making off his creativity off the bounce.
00:39And last question. So seven and one now, one possession games, playing with a lot of big pieces missing. What
00:44do you say about the grittiness of this team?
00:46Yeah, I don't I think if we would have talked at the summer that we wouldn't have Chad Baker-Mazzara,
00:51we wouldn't have Rodney Rice, and we wouldn't have Amari on Dickerson. I don't I don't know.
00:55But seven and one in close games. And really, we should have won the Iowa game. We know we really
01:00should be eight no in those games. And our team's done a great job of executing in late game situations
01:08other than Iowa.
