We always seem to have some really good battles with them. (The comeback) was a matter of us getting up and guarding people. (John) Ashworth and the big boy (Johnson) is really a load in there.

We've been scoring points; that's not our problem. Our defense has left us. The way you play defense is with hustle and heart, and I hope we get that back.

They have some good offensive players.

We've been up and down like a yo-yo. We're in the same boat we were last year. We let some games get away that we felt we could have won. Maybe we got some that could have been given away, too. It balances out. We've struggled here of late.

The difference, we have to purchase. It's a big cost to us.

I was young, too, ... It was new for both of us.
