Jesse competes very well. We haven't been playing a lot of defense behind him. Tonight our defense showed up and played behind him. I thought he did an excellent job on the mound.

I'm proud of my team tonight with the way they fought back and showed me they have heart. We got some clutch hits tonight, but we cant seem to put a complete game together.

The defense is playing ridiculous right now.

That was out key component tonight. We played better defense tonight.

Their defense really frustrated us a lot of times, and they were really active. It's very uncharacteristic of him to act like that and it's something I don't condone, and he knows it as well as I do, and he'll pay for it tomorrow at practice. That's a credit to their defense, because they really had us frustrated.

He's (Preston) finally playing a little with his back to the basket. We've been harping to try and get him in the paint, and he's finally starting to do that a little.
