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

I think the guys just played better defense, and then they started making some shots. As we started building up a lead, the guys sensed that they can win.

(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.

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

I think we played pretty good defense today. But the reason that Minot is the best team in the West is because they can score. They have eight or nine people who can score.
