We feel that's what we're supposed to do. We love to play defense. We love to go out there and get three-and-outs.

I know everybody in the country knows we play on defense. If we go out there and do what we're supposed to do, everybody will know at the end of the game.

I think we kind of got some respect tonight. I think everybody sees how the defense can play. Everybody knows the offense can strike at will, so we're just trying to get better and better. All we can do is go out there and go undefeated and at the end of the season argue about it.

We expect to run the floor and play good defense, and we weren't doing that in the first half. We believe our defense will create our offense.

Coming out of halftime, Coach (Dana Addis of Copley) told us to play a little defense, and take good shots. I started to go to the hoop more, and that opened up the floor for my teammates.

I don't think our defense is overlooked or underrated. These guys just to get out there and play. They love to hit and they love to get after the ball.
