(In the fourth quarter), we put some people in who wanted to play. We got back to playing defense and moving the ball and going down low ... We have to do stuff like that. We have to play people that are going to produce.

We stepped our intensity up, played better defense, applied the pressure,

That's why we're losing. When we're down, we pull together. We trust each other out there on defense, and on offense, we make extra passes. That's the sense of urgency we got to have through the whole game. If we start with it, we stay close.

When you're not playing well as a team, you've got to play the players that are giving you the best effort out there on the floor. And no offense -- no knock on anybody because we need everybody on our team -- but Ike has really given us a boost. We'll just see what happens.

They pound us on the boards every time they play us. If we can do a better job of rebounding the basketball and close that rebounding gap, we'll be all right.

The first year is the hardest. Everyone is learning the defense. The goal is to get them to play fast.
