We didn't play the passing lanes very well, and we didn't box out very well. We were still in the game at that point.

Caron was one of the few guys who got into it defensively, getting into some passing lanes, getting deflections and steals, and playing physically.

I felt we could cut down on their passing lanes. We didn't get much pressure on them, but the linebacker and ends were really getting their hands up.

Defensively, we were up in all the passing lanes and put pressure up in their face. ....They just did a nice job.

We got in their face, we were blocking shots, we got into the passing lanes. That's one thing we were working on — defense. No sense scoring five if they scored six.

We pressured the ball, we got into the passing lanes and we forced everything to the baseline. We were great defensively, and that's really all we worried about. We really weren't worried about our offense. We just wanted to come out and make a statement on the defensive end.
