That pressure defense can throw teams out of their game plan pretty fast.

(West) played wonderfully. They just controlled the ball well. They passed pretty well, played real good defense and scrapped really hard. They didn't let the ball fall and kept it coming back.

Our defense played great. Absolutely great. We have a pretty good defense. Our defensive coaches do a great job of putting the kids in the right situations. We fly around and play hard on defense. You won't find many defenses that play like that. We're a handful on defense.

(Turlock) played pretty good defense, and they're 6-0 (in the CCC) for a reason.

They're really athletic, but a lot of times what most people don't realize is that it's not their first shot that kills you, it's their second shot. We have to make sure we get in position to box out to make sure they don't get that second shot.

Both teams predicate what they do on defense. They (both) are pretty demanding in that sense.
