Our defensive intensity finally picked up a little bit. We've been talking about trying to play better defense and playing with a little bit more energy. We started a little run there at the end of the second quarter and kind of kept it going from there.

James did a little bit better job in the second half of going down to the low block and trying to play down there. Jeremy's senior leadership, he did a good job in the second half of coming out a little bit more ready to play.

We didn't play very well defensively in the first quarter. We gave up 18 points in the first three or four minutes, but we played better the rest on the game.

We didn't play very well at the Christmas tournament. And we had to make some changes at half because we were down 15. To come back from that far down at Kelly says a lot about our character.

We're just trying to get it to another level. We've been working a lot on defense, playing a lot of really tough competition is the key to it. We're starting to hit our stride. That's our 20th game. We didn't come out focused against LCA. A couple of guys had some things going on outside of basketball, some distractions. It really cost us.

I'm just trying to do my best and just play a lot of defense.
