Joining us now, and I'm sure thrilled to be doing so based on that intro. She is the head coach of the Indiana Fever, who tonight

finish the regular season with a game at 730. You can hear the pregame at 715 with Eddie between the

fever and the Minnesota links. And Stephanie White has her team bound for the playoffs after that. Coach,

how are you? I'm well. How are you? Well, I mean, the, listen i i waited through the taylor swift thing there i got

through it just okay right i mean that was okay we i don't think any really played enough of it though

to really what your whistle right no i mean i can't believe that that catchy tune that you weren't

taking it's not bad.

It's not Oasis, but.

Listen, now I have somewhat bad news for you here, Coach.

I went to the Oasis concert at the Rose Bowl on Saturday night, and I thought the urine flying cups was just a British thing, and it appears as though it's not. It is not. Oh, yeah, that's really bad. So if you go to a show to go see Oasis, you don't want to be on the main floor. Up in the stands, you're fine, down on the main floor, a little bit dangerous. There's probably as likely of a chance of me going to Oasis as you go on to Taylor Smith. Okay, that's fair. Point taken. Okay, let's get to this to begin with tonight, and that is, you know, you have a situation here that's unique because Minnesota is very good. We know that Minnesota may also, you know, they may have some players that are not available, but there's still a lot to play for. This is not one, because sometimes we see it like at the end of the year where you say, hey, we've got the postseason to get ready for, and so therefore we're maybe going to do things differently or rest or not show everything. But this is a big one for you tonight because you still have seating that is in play, correct? That's correct, yes.

We've got seating that's in play.

And for us, again, continuing to really mesh our new players and be clicking as much on all cylinders as we possibly can heading into the playoffs.

So seating implications, yes, certainly.

But also momentum, just continuing to build strong positive momentum with our group.

I was thinking about this

with that, okay?

And I, this is going to sound weird the way

I ask this, but

with so much talk that has been, and I don't mean within your locker room, okay, but the media, the fans, you know, anywhere you turn, with so much of the season conversation being about the question of the availability of Caitlin Clark, as a coach, how did you address to your team so that there is not a resentment of, look,

we are defined by who we are, not who we are not?

Does that make sense what I'm saying?

And, you know, how did you balance that to keep the rest of the roster aware of and on task
