In some of the communication, sometimes it looks as if it's constantly aggressive, but it's not always aggressive.

But you're really, like you said, trying to be the balance to your team.

And I thought in the beginning of that game, I thought we didn't have enough urgency offensively, enough pace offensively.

So I'm almost trying to infuse that into the team on offensive possessions.

And then obviously, I thought we did a really good job defensively.

And I want to keep my energy high because I want their energy to be high on the defensive side.

And I thought for all 40 minutes, our defense was really strong last night.

Do you ever watch it record that kind of stuff?

I'm just curious because... I've done a little bit.

So I had a whoop strap for a few years, and I think it was almost unhealthy.

There were a couple games where there's these 40 minutes of...

know just insane levels of heart rate then there's a 20 minute break which is half time and then another 40 minutes of your heart rate being 130 plus or 140 plus i think it's probably a little bit unhealthy over that length of time but uh it's it's a sight to see when you check your whoop and all of a sudden there's just off the charts uh type type squiggly lines

I think that's probably the loudest venue too, like in the area, just because of how it's been built and how it's so condensed.

I mean, when that venue is packed, it certainly is as loud as one in the area.

The low ceiling, you know, the proximity to the court that the fans have, I think just make it a great environment.

And I think, you know, obviously this year we've started to get better crowds as the year's gone on.

Last night was the biggest crowd we've had this year, 3,500.

Other than a few guys that returned from last year's team when we had the sellout against Wright State, they hadn't really felt it like that.

And I do think in the beginning of that game, it gives it a aura.

Certainly it's great, you know, for a home court advantage.
