We're staring to understand how to play defense a little better. We put the press in over Christmas and the more we play the more consistent with it we become.

After taking the press off we just want to get in the passing lanes and play good half-court defense. We're trying to pride ourselves on getting big stops in key situations. In practice this week, we worked on the communication side of defense and I thought it showed.

Everyone's playing their role right now and that's what is helping our success.

You don't win many games when you're missing that many free throws, but we got the victory.

They came out in a press and caused a lot of turnovers. We played good defense also, but just could not score.

I think our rebounding was our key, and definitely our defense. We got a few turnovers on our press, but I think the key tonight really was controlling the boards.
