We played all-right defense. On offense, they didn't stop us, we stopped ourselves. Of the 31 shots we missed, I bet we missed 20 that were 2-feet or 1-foot.

They came in and missed a lot of early shots, ... We got it going and set our offense. We kept running and attacking.

I've played a couple of big guys. I've stopped both of them. We need to play good man defense and keep the ball out of his (Wright's hands) if we are going to win.

This was a hard game; it was hard fought. We played through bad calls and missed shots. They played through it, and that's what we need.

I don't think we played real well as a defense. We missed a lot of tackles and played over-aggressive. We missed a couple of assignments here and there. We didn't do it consistently enough where it cost us, but we also didn't consistently stop them, either.

We stepped up our defense and stopped fouling. We've been a little sluggish, but we played a lot better. The second half of this game prepares us real well. It prepares us for close situations.
