Coaches emphasize defense. We'll try to. We still want to get our points on the board.

I was getting a lot of good looks early on. They started helping out on defense a little more in the second half, so it was a little bit harder, but I was just trying to keep it going and score as many as I could.

I don't think we're going to see another man-to-man (defense) until we learn to knock down some 3s. That's all we've seen the last four, five ball games. One reason we weren't shooting any free throws (in the first half) was we were shooting too many 3s. We told them to go to the hole.

We had to suffer. It was important that we weren't beaten in defense.

We came out early and hit, and we didn't stop hitting. They just made some nice plays on defense. They executed very well.

Keys to the game were our pressure defense and our transition offense. We came out really intense and got the game rolling right off the bat.
