00:00JB, what did you make of your group's ability
00:03to try and score around Wimby and the paint
00:05with the way that he kind of changes the geometry?
00:07Yeah, I thought late.
00:08We figured it out.
00:10And you know, you got to go through him.
00:12You can't go around him.
00:13And I thought JD did a great job late
00:16where he was going through him.
00:18But if you allow him to play in space,
00:20he's too long, too smart, too well positioned.
00:23So you got to go at him, try to go through him more.
00:25I thought we did that later on.
00:27What did you like about the defensive performance
00:29that you guys did on Victor Wimby?
00:31I'm especially in the first half
00:32when it seemed like it took him a while to really get going.
00:35Yeah, I mean, I thought we did a good job, you know,
00:38being physical with him, keeping him in front of us,
00:41making him earn everything.
00:43I thought we did a good job.
