I didn't sense our guys tightening up on offense. I think Detroit just tightened up defensively.

Our guys showed a lot of composure. We stopped (defensively) helping as much in the second half. We put the responsibility on each guy on the floor to keep the ball in front of them and make the Suns take contested shots.

I think both offensively and defensively, [Valparaiso's starters] did a good job of balancing their offense. They didn't hit for as high of a percentage as what their season average is, but their starters did a good job of mixing it up and keeping us off balance a little bit.

We're looking for a guy who can do the job defensively, first of all. Then the offense would be a plus. We need to send somebody out there at the very least who can cover ground and make plays.

Defensively, we really showed up tonight. We did a great job at both ends of the floor. Our offense dictated our defense, and our defense was very solid.

Defensively, we didn't give up any big plays. And we got the big plays on offense, ... We're a lot better right now than we were at the same time last season.
