We definitely have the personnel to play defense. We're athletic. We have a quick team. I think it goes with coach Howland. He came in and built a program and made us play defense.

Basically, it's substance over style. All we care about it is the 'W.' We pride ourselves on defense. If defense is going to win games, that's what we're going to do.

It shows when we put our mind to it and play focused basketball, we can be a tough team to beat.

It's a start. We'll see how it goes. Only time will tell (how many minutes I actually play).

That's an aggressive team. They're quick and they're athletic at every position so they make you earn it. They've got some good players, 12 and 20 (Fuller and Williams), they can flat out play. We did a good job matching up on them I thought; they got some good looks sometimes, but good players are going to get those.

Basically it's substance over style.
