All I do is throw strikes and let the defense help out behind me. I trust in these guys and expect them to make plays for me. And this season they have been. It's been nice.

I've just been hitting the ball well lately. When you get on a roll, it just seems everything goes right for you. That's just what the feeling was last weekend. Not only at the plate, but as a team, winning, going 4-0 in our own tournament.

I think that's kind of good for us. It brings us back down and shows us that we're not as good as we might think we are right now. There's a lot of work to do.

That's why we're losing. When we're down, we pull together. We trust each other out there on defense, and on offense, we make extra passes. That's the sense of urgency we got to have through the whole game. If we start with it, we stay close.

The defense prefers to trust in the integrity of the process and to let the process run its course through the court.

Blitzing will only get you so far. We are a fundamental defense. Trust me, when you go blitzing, you're taking a risk. You put a lot of pressure on the DBs. That's like a haymaker punch. You better hit it. If you miss, you're going to be very, very vulnerable. It's better to stop them with our sound defense. It's consistent. You know what you're going to get.
