Our defense was phenomenal. Joey Dorsey was an absolute monster, and we need him to be a monster.

Our half-court defense is still our staple. That's what we are. We want to make the game hard for the other team. It's hard to run plays when you can switch and do the things we do.

I was happy for Joey. One of the things we had talked about was getting him more looks. He stepped up and we did that.

I think I learned it from Larry Brown.

This could have been a momentum builder going into the conference tournament, but we couldn't rebound ... If we could have gotten one more rebound in the last five minutes of the game, we could have won.

You take your team _ east, west, north, south _ because I want my team. I've got battlers. I've got skills ... depth ... size.
