Question for both of you guys. Um, obviously you guys played at a conference you know, playing in capital one arena where the Washington Wizards play. What's it like to have that experience you know, playing a game out of your conference playing the NBA arena? What are you guys going to reflect and look back at this experience?
Meechie's Answer : For me, I feel like the two of you know a lot that goes to get to the NBA. And honestly, this is besides the wins or something I will never forget to be able to play a college game in the NBA arena. It's just amazing that you you will always remember this for the rest of your life. Especially when when mom is like that. So again, I'll never forget this man. I never forget playing in this arena. It was a great environment. It was a great atmosphere. I mean, like I said it'd be something you always remember.
Gregory "GG" Jackson II Answer : same for me when we came over the summer before I committed to South Carolina. I took an official visit here to Georgetown so I got to kind of see a little bit of an arena but I was itching so bad to get out to try to play on it. But like he said, they get that fill in is called I can't even really explain it. But it's like you're there but you're not there. Just get it for like you can just grab it. But it definitely like a moment that I'll never forget for sure

"What a good basketball game thought was really, really high level of competitive spirit, especially in the entire second half and overtime I thought both teams are really getting after it and competing at a high level and both teams wanting to win really bad. Some that's not always the case as crazy as that sounds like the both teams wanting to win really badly. And unfortunately, somebody was going to have to not be able to do that. And so every every possession down the stretch, I mean, for the last eight minutes even it seemed like and then the overtime every single possession seems so critical. And so for our guys to to value those on both ends of the ball. I thought we did a really good job defensively. We had a smaller lineup in there at times which and we were playing chess back and forth. Coaching wingman brings in brings we'll hop back in late in the game and so we had to make a decision if we were going to stay small and go big. It was just a really good basketball game, but I can't say enough about the competition, the level of competition and competitive spirit on both sides of it. And this was this was a high a high point for our team, particularly in those moments and competing at that level in those moments".
