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.

East Aurora handled our trap (defense), and they went to the boards. I knew we had to play well (to win). We knew they were an improved team.

We just tried to play solid man-to-man defense. Early in the game we weren't rotating the way we needed to but we made a few adjustments and played pretty well in the second half.

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 would love for them to be the first, but I'm for anybody. If you play a good schedule, as determined both by the opinion pollsters and the computer polls, and you go undefeated, you should have a chance to play at the highest level.

Our defense was terrible. They didn't miss many shots.
