It was a great game. Both teams played well and played good defense. We couldn't get the timely hit and they did.

They must have talked about playing some (defense) at halftime because second half they came out and played a whole different kind of 'D' than we saw in the first half. They were out in the passing lanes ... everything was hard.

We came out with a lot of intensity on defense and got our hands in the shooters' faces.

On a player that good, the best defense is not to let him get the ball in hands.

We run the same defense as Western. It's basically just a get-together for all the coaches.

(At halftime) we changed our defense up from one zone to another. We wanted to keep pressure on the ball. I think we took a couple of options away and we picked up our intensity. The kids went after it and got some steals and I think that was the difference.
