" I'm Christian -- and I'm joined by Gavin -- of UConn stand dot com part of the got dot com network. Gavin Huskies had a relatively easy time of the first two games of the tournament. But have been your thoughts on how the team is reform rounds one and him."
" Well I think kind of surprised at what they played after the white people's lives but. -- they've been better than anybody could imagine anything get me at all really come together probably been really focused coming into the tournament and in in -- from the start they've stated trail except for a few minutes and -- into the game. They've led the whole. In both games and I just really just taking command taken -- made it out of the game. In any competent in Atlanta underdog has some confidence. It would probably never let that happen."
" Coach Calhoun missed the first game after being hospitalized with dehydration what's the latest on itself."
" Vikings find out so I don't know I mean he came back into a little tired but thought. That would dehydration and in after the backe had the game as you know I think they've both. I have determined championship -- 992004. He missed the game. Illness so this does happen to home. What it's like to see him work. Where he gets really worked up before games and sometimes that leads to an illness so I think he's fine now in fact awaited game is playing so we can relax full support."
" up -- Purdue out of the Big Ten what are your thoughts on the matchup."
" Well Purdue would have won this one a couple close games and that always helps you move it forward as it turned. Tournament they've it's it's better -- into the feed mill up yet for the nickel when the in the Big Ten tournament title so. The Devils know momentum going has -- good win over Washington and obviously when Oregon is of course that was Warren now Washington Huskies -- them. So they it was almost. Could paint a suggestion it was like a road game for them so I think that kind of developed some confidence from those wins. You didn't play great defense -- they're really scraping the hostile after the ball. They're not going to score a lot of points so -- better don't want to try to limit UConn transition game and it really got to focus on going after the loose balls rebounds."
" There's certain player that you feel could tip the ballot in the huskies' favor."
" Well that's to me that's always AJ price I mean oh proposition that the gives you that as a defensive presence. AJ is the guy who can really carry this team needs had a great tournament so far too big gains averaged 23 points. When things happen point 29 for eighteen on threes in the two tournament games. The guy that they need to play well. To get to a final four because they don't have a lot of chemical weapons. It is also seemed to kind of really got -- the this is what I need to step up and score some points lead to big runs in the tournaments -- games psychic -- the guy if he plays well they're in good shape."
" Gavin give us your prediction for the game."
" I think UConn wins I mean after seeing the way how well they played how much confidence they have and how focused they are I think -- against Purdue and I. Purdue is a very good defensive team and it might do them more low scoring and then you -- wants but. You kind of advantage upfront. And in with AJ price played well I think UConn game."
" Our Gavin we appreciate the time for more college basketball hoop due to log on fox sports -- come. And scout dot com and Christian -- we'll see next time."
