00:00So on to the next.
00:01We know you came back in the game.
00:03You're fine.
00:03Oh, yeah.
00:04I'm all good.
00:04Don't worry.
00:08Come over here for Michelle.
00:17Juju, use that microphone.
00:19Push it back?
00:20Make sure it's in front of you when you're talking.
00:22Oh, OK.
00:25Michelle.
00:28Hi, Michelle Smith from The Next.
00:30Kiki, did it feel like you guys had some rust
00:32to shake off at the start of that game?
00:34Yes.
00:35I think it was pretty evident.
00:37I think, one, we were really excited to just be playing
00:40again.
00:40We haven't played in about two weeks,
00:42playing in your home court.
00:44So I think there was a lot of rust, but a lot of excitement.
00:46And I think our defense really helped us in that first half,
00:49staying in the game.
00:50And then Coach talked some sense into us,
00:52and I think we came out much better in the second half.
00:54Oh, I have a problem about talking sense into the back.
00:56Oh, gosh.
00:57Do you want to talk about talking sense?
01:00Sorry.
01:02I try to be sensical once in a while.
01:05Really just, I think it's a unique situation where
01:10I feel like we've accomplished a lot.
01:12And we've got a really good team,
01:14but we still have more growth, which is a good thing, right?
01:17We've got a period of time here.
01:19And so just reminding us that we have everything
01:22we need in the locker room, but we also
01:23don't have to be perfect.
01:24And it doesn't all come sometimes all at once.
01:27And just getting us back to what our core mission is.
01:30And they're really responsive, and I
01:32thought that was really important.
01:35Let's go down here.
01:36And let's keep our questions to the student athletes
01:38right now, please.
