 Hello, and welcome to the Gary Stewart show. I'm Joe Wamba, joined now with Gary Stewart, head coach of the men's basketball team. And coach is an exciting victory Wednesday night back here at home. Talk a little bit about that game. It was. Our kids fought hard. It was a great game. We talked about it being a rock fight before we started. They've got two really, really good players, and they're surrounded by some excellent support players that are difficult to guard. And I felt like our kids really, really were in tune to what we were trying to accomplish on both ends of the ball. And defensively down the stretch, held strong. And then they send Cliff Cornish to the line, and he drains a lot of them. Yeah, we had a real good close to the second half. We had a timely basket with 51 seconds left from Michael Byrd to put us up. And then the next possession down, Michael fouled out. And we went back to Ben, and he had a big shot for us to get some separation there and create a three-point situation instead of a two or a three. And that's really significant. It changes the way that you play the end of the game, and we were fortunate enough to come out with a victory. And you guys travel up to Albright. Cliff Cornish, again, has a really solid game and strong performance. Yeah, we had a really good first half. And felt good about our position going into halftime on the road. And then second half, if you told me we would get 44 points, I would have signed up for that. But the defense wasn't there. And credit Albright. Albright was assertive the entire second half. They were in good rhythm, and we did some things to try to distort that. But they were able to sustain their intensity and came out to victorious. And a couple more intense teams coming in this week. You get to play them at home. The crowd was really important on Wednesday. Talk about these games and how important it is to play them at home and play well at home. Well, we got a great lift with the second semester starting. As you mentioned, our fans came out and really supported us. And I thought provided us with some energy that we were able to sustain. And hopefully we'll see that again this week. Masiah and Weidner are playing as well as anybody in our conference. Masiah knocks off first place like Ho-Ming. And they've got some really, really good players, really good young players. And schematically, they're difficult. So we'll have our hands full on Wednesday. We have some really good young players as well. The youth is leading to so much optimism with this team. It is. It is. And you can see the growth. And not only individually, but you can see it in the team. We're playing better basketball than we were earlier. And that's required in conference play in January and February. So I'm really proud of the way the kids have hung in there. They've continued to ask the right questions, continued to put forth the effort. And I'm excited about what this week brings. Well, Coach, we share that excitement with you. And we wish you the best of luck in continuing the growth in these games this week. Thank you, Joe. He's Gary Steuart. I'm Joe Wamba.
