So that also makes it a little more difficult.

But tonight is a big game for us.

and i i understand it like when i wasn't on indiana like it was like oh like you guys get all attention we'll prove to you that you don't deserve the attention type stuff and so and right now like we we are like a 500 team like we we should we're in the bottom of the pack right now like we have got to be winning these games that we're losing and the only thing i appreciate right now is like

First, we're not going to peak too soon.

I've said that multiple times already on this podcast.

And two, I think I'd much rather be going through the trenches right now than in September and October.

So it's part of the season.

Everything we do is just highlighted and on a microscope.

Everyone's watching every little thing we do.

And I think there's some moments that I see in our rundown that we want to talk about that's kind of been blown out of proportion with stuff going on with our team during timeouts and whatnot.

But I think these are all learning lessons.

It's opportunity to grow and get better.

And sometimes you just need kind of the ickiness in order to start building that chemistry and trust, you know?

know i don't even know if there was like any inside scoop i think that they're steph and cc are two very competitive people who just want to win and sometimes you you bump heads um but it was all out of like good intent of wanting the same thing and like at the end of the day like we were not playing good um

i'm not condoning her actions like i think there's room to grow in how you respond to things but she would say the same thing and her and stuff are fine and um that's like their relationship and you know later that night or the next morning they hugged it out and they talked about it like when you are in high competitive situations pretty much four days out of the week like stuff is gonna happen but like i said our stuff is just under a microscope and everything you do everything you say is going to be a highlight reel for somebody um

And I think media loves to create division where there's not always division.

And so it's two competitive people who want to win at a high level.

And, um, I think that's really all it was.

And so if you don't know that, if you don't know them, was it a bad look?

Maybe, but at the end of the day, it's two people who want to win.
