 Hello and welcome to the Jackie Boswell show presented by Buffalo Wildlings I'm Greg Royce joined with Stevenson women's basketball head coach Jackie Boswell and coach you've had a little bit of a break I've been a couple weeks since you played your last game Play at Marymount right before the break. I'm just kind of take us through that game a little bit You know gig again, probably, you know, it's probably a little bit closer with the final score Indicated yeah, Marymount's very good team this year and you know, it's always a good battle between the two of us So that's what we expected going on the road. Just couldn't put enough runs together And enough stops together to be able to come out on top But I thought we learned a lot from that game and you know Hopefully we got to take a little bit of a break like you said and now we get to come back and focus on the conference Schedule ahead. Yeah with having such a young team is important Maybe have this little bit of a break to kind of recharge and kind of energize because obviously it's it's a lot different Going from high school to the grind the college basketball So maybe gives your team a little bit of a chance to like regroup and get ready for the second half of the season Well, I certainly hope so I'm sure there's two theories that go with that as far as some You know, do we need to play or do we need to take the break? I do think that our kids had a well-deserved late break coming to them I thought that they worked really hard in this first half of the season So I'm hoping that it was more of a restful thing and that it's gonna be positive for us Yeah, and you jump back into action and you know, no no warming up by jump back right back in Wednesday night You play a messiah who's 11 or one right now and playing really well So talk a little about what messiah brings the table and what you need to do to you know Hopefully come out with a W on Wednesday night. Well, Messiah is great. I mean, they're playing really well right now They can score from multiple positions So I think what we have to do is just come out there and do the best that we can today and then see what happens We have nothing to lose and I think that that's got to be our main focus We've got to try to you know bounce back from this Marymount game and and really focus on our conference play and tonight Let's start with the best and see what happens. Yeah, and then you know, obviously Besides the team that you've had some good battles with over the years I think you went up there last year and you know made a loss to the final man. It's a really close game and then You know, you've had some good battles with them over the years So hopefully that'll factor in obviously each season's new and different but You're right I mean there should be no reason that we don't go into this game tonight completely confident and stick to our game Plan and I think that if we stick to our game plan on our floor That we have a really good chance of coming out on top. So that's the thing we have to focus on What is the game plan? Can we execute it against a very good team that again? We should have confidence going against and then Saturday back in the conference action I'm you play you play at like homing and then Monday You've been on conference game you travel stock then what should be a good test for you guys as well I'm so too tough road games coming up this weekend. We do You know like homing we got to focus on because they're you know, they're a conference game and and playing at their place It's always tough. It's tough drive and and they're playing really well right now, too Our conference is you know, just what we expect is that it would be in the you know When we talked about it in the first half of the season Everybody's got to come ready to play and then you know going with Stockton That was the game that we owed them at their place this year for the schedule. So Got a couple all-americans on their team. So that would be a fun game as well. They're all fun All right coach. Well best of luck this week starting tonight against Messiah and we'll talk to you next week Great. Thank you. All right for Jackie Boswell. I'm Greg Royce. This has been the Jackie Boswell show
