Defense is what it is all about; that's what wins championships. I love playing hard-nosed, aggressive defense. That's the way I like teams to play me, too. We just got after it.

I think we've come back a lot this season. We never, ever give up, especially in a state tournament game.

Two more minutes is all we needed. If we would have got going sooner, it might have been different. We just got started too late.

I was pretty pleased with our defense. Our game plan was to press them hard. We got some good turnovers with our pressure.

We would love to have Gary down here, ... Gary is [37] years old, but he is still tenacious on defense. I know he still wants [a championship], and I am the only guy in the world that can give him one.
