We held them 14 points under our goal and any time you can do that, it's pretty good.

We got some unbelievable contributions. I think that's one of the reasons we're difficult to defend because it's going to be a different guy every night.

I don't care if they have six losses or whatever, they still are the three-time defending champion. So we respected that.

We defend. We're not going to be beating people by scoring 70 points a game. I think, for the most part, that's been our strength.

We came out strong on the defensive end and took them out of any offense.

We play defense. As you can see, we don't score a whole lot. We have to make a strong defensive effort.

You respect the program, you respect their accomplishments.

Defense doesn't demand a lot of schemes, it demands a lot of heart. You've got to want to stop somebody as much as you want to score yourself.

When you can hold a team to under a 10-spot every quarter, you're doing the job. I think they understand the concept.
