What we pride ourselves on is our defense. We just tried to wear (Hill and Davis) down. Luckily, the shots just didn't fall for them late.

We talked about East Hall's tradition (before the game). We're trying to build one.

(Hitting) free throws is something we've been talking about. We did a good job on them tonight.

My major role on this team is defense. I take great pride in doing that job.

I think we saw the rust from the last two weeks off early. We pride ourselves on our defense and rebounding. That's how you stay alive in the postseason.

This was a defensive battle between two teams that pride themselves in defense. There weren't many open shots, and there weren't any transition baskets. And both teams, because of the defensive intensity, had trouble finding a rhythm.
