 Hello, and welcome to the Jackie Boswell show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Royce, shown by Stevenson, head women's basketball coach Jackie Boswell. And coach, from wins and losses standpoint, kind of a tough week for you guys. A couple of games in the Mac against, you know, teams of the top half. But, you know, I think some positives to take away from both games as well. So if you just want to talk about how both those games win and some of the positives. Well, I think the positives are that, you know, the first quarter of the Lebanon Valley game and the first half of the Albright game probably played our best basketball, you know, just player for player and just execution of the offense and the defense. Unfortunately, just couldn't sustain that for 40 minutes. Little concerning at this point of the year, but, you know, just regrouped yesterday at practice. We need to, you know, know what's on the line, know what's at stake and just mature from that. You know, we are still really young, but that is only in the sense of just age, you know, we've got a lot of freshmen that are playing a lot of minutes. So the expectations and pressure should be there. And we talked a little bit about that yesterday and tried to how we're going to handle that. Right. At some point, you know, the youth is one thing, but like I said, they have almost a full season of college basketball under their belt now. So at this point, like you said, you know, maybe it's time to, you know, not use that as so much as a crutch for more as, hey, you've got a lot of experience. You've played a lot of minutes. Is that kind of message of the team is we need to play more complete 40 minutes? Because like you said, obviously in stretches, you've played well. Yes. Just, you know, at this point, we just got to find that maturity. We got to find that leadership that's going to allow us to play for 40 minutes. And I think we also have to find some confidence. I'm not really sure why our confidence might be wavering right now. But, you know, when you look and we're really going to focus and film today on all the positive things that we've done. And when you look at those positive things, you have to take nothing but confidence from there. And so hopefully we can build on that and convince them that, you know, they are where we think that they are. And, you know, they got just got to go in and believe it. Yeah. I mean, especially the Albright game, obviously that was a home. So I got to see that one. But that was, you know, probably, like you said, one of the best stretches all year. I mean, that's a team in Albright that, you know, beat Tuster earlier this year. Right. Right. So that's a, so that's a pretty good team that, you know, for a half, you played better than just the second half, you got to play that whole 40 minute game. Right. And so, you know, you just got to look back at that second 40 minutes. I mean, second 20 minutes and see what happened. And it was like we punched them in the mouth. They punched us in the mouth. We just didn't recover. So we just got to figure that part of it out. But we are running out of time, you know, so time is of the essence and the pressure is on. So we'll see how we deal with this pressure and adversity coming up. Yeah. And obviously, I think it's not getting easier. You go up to Messiah tomorrow night to play up there. And then you're back on the road again on Saturday. So obviously, you know, time to figure out it's now. Yeah. We're definitely running out of time. But, you know, I think I still believe in this group. I think that they can do it. And I think that, you know, today's practice will give us that, hopefully that confidence that we need. And there's no doubt we're going to learn from the film and that we're going to step up and do what we need to do. All right. Well, thanks a lot, coach. And best select this week and we'll talk to you next week. Thank you for Jackie Boswell. I'm Greg Royce. This has been the Jackie Boswell show.
