Uh Yeah, for sure. Um You know, we started off, we had such a great start to our season, at least in the conference. Um I think one of the best season they had since, uh their last AC C championship year. So, uh just looking back on that, um, and, and recognizing how good we done, we didn't want to just like let that go to waste. So, uh we just told ourselves that we have to fix it and we got to fix it now, some slow start. That was another emphasis coming into the game. We knew that Miami was gonna uh definitely be an offensive firepower team just with their guards that they have. So we knew that there was gonna be key to getting out to a good start for this one. Obviously one of the best in the AC C. How big of a key was that coming into the pool? Uh You know, that was a big key, but um it was more so just worrying about getting back to our identity. I always said that our identity was the defense and uh I think that, that, you know, we definitely displayed that tonight, you guys do differently. What, what stands out to you. Uh I just think everybody's focus level, man, you know, anybody who came in the game today brought us great energy and uh I think that was just something that was lacking these past three games and um you know, hopefully going forward, we can keep, you know, the focus level. There was this you guys. Oh Yeah. Uh I think Miami, we might in a tie with them right now, uh in the conference. So we knew that this was gonna be a good one to, you know, go move, advance in the conference. Um And just, you know, losing three in a row like that, you know, we were hungry to get another win. What does it say about you guys be able to bounce like that like that? Uh It just kind of shows us our resiliency and how good of a team we are when we're, you know, when we're focused and we're clicking on all cylinders. Did you have some, uh dueling of ice water?
