Rich is one of the most aggressive defenders I've seen in over two years. We want him to play defense for us.

Great teams find ways to win. When the shots don't fall, you have to play defense. We held them to two baskets in the second half. We played tremendous defense, and then we got the rebounds when they missed.

We didn't play as good on defense as we wanted. But sometimes we were just right in their face and they made tough shots, so you've got to give them credit.

I think I'm up for the challenge. This team has a lot of potential. If we play good defense we can beat anybody.

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.
