(4/4) I could go on, but I don't want to make this longer or more self-indulgent than it already is. I just want to tell people what's changing rather than disappearing from the beat.
I've got lots more work to do, just on new topics. I hope you'll keep following @theixsports.bsky.social.
![“I’d say Rori is certainly not out of the question. There's only 40 minutes in a game, so it's not — not everybody's development hinges on game minutes, and that's something that we're crystal clear on. That's why we pour into them so much, so that when those moments do come, they are game ready. And so game to game, you're more than likely going to see Georgia [Amoore] and Alicia [Flórez] out there, but when Rori's time comes, it's our job and our joy to have her ready for those moments, and that's that's pretty much everyone up and down the roster.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nx3cp4xoyz4kftjwyio7wj2g/bafkreigkyi47qcimunmrkqnzjns6w6odbz7pg5gqnl5cbz7uquq2a6dm6u)
![“That defense in that Super Bowl was, I mean, wowsers. Drake Maye couldn't do anything until like the last five minutes of the game. So I obviously used that as, defense will win you championships if you allow it to and [will] put you in a position to compete, regardless [of] if you're scoring the ball or not, if you can get stops. So that was my reference on Monday.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nx3cp4xoyz4kftjwyio7wj2g/bafkreiakurtguvd3a5hznz6moeil2drb73yiczep5vcpyjkdwwuoedsphu)
![“Really feeling and thinking of Mo and Brown and just their program, their athletic department, their university. … Monday morning, we had a film session, and [I] just really started it with, you know, it's our sister school. Our players have a lot of friends on that campus. I would call Mo a friend, and our assistants are close with some of their assistants. And so to just think of that being their reality right now is just really hard to swallow. And it … happened in an econ[omics] study session, and Gabby Anderson on our team constantly talks about her econ class and just how difficult it is, and she's constantly going to those type of things to prepare for her class. So I just — I don't know. It just really hit me pretty hard and just kind of shook me over the weekend, and just praying for them and really hoping that their campus community can recover from something like this.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nx3cp4xoyz4kftjwyio7wj2g/bafkreihle4qqajiwwf6jymbyfvjmf5c7agwaqxkhabz72c3hswkyrzic3i)
