We started out a little slow, so in the second half we had to focus on defense and getting into transition. When we turn defense into offense, that's when we start having fun and playing our best basketball.

This trip, we really just want to focus on making a change. We feel that we could do that best in New Orleans, especially with what has happened there. We feel commissioned, like it is our mission, to go there and help out.

They're going to focus on defense. They're going all the way this year.

That's good to hear, ... I want to focus on my defense. Getting hits, I'm not worried about it. If they come, they come.

We build the team off the defense. You'll see Kevin jump on certain opportunities, but the main focus for him is defense.

I improved the most on defense, my one-on-one defense. This year, I had more focus. I was always into the game and more focused.
