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.
