I think we still have a pretty solid defense one through six.

Brian Rafalski

Defense is the one thing we work on the most. It's what carried us through the season.

Ryan Sanchez

We were more athletic than they were. We shut them down on defense.

Antonio Anderson

Our defense is definitely our strongest point.

Robin Selvig

We started to get some defense stops and that allowed us to run.

Michael Holton

I just think as the game went on, you could see our defense get a little more comfortable and a little more comfortable.

Roger Ouellette

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

Ivan Radenovic

All 15 guys on that bench can play defense. (Curran) gives us that desire that we can do this.

Trey Blue

We're going to have to play great defense. They could score anytime.

Mark Farley

The defense didn't get much of a chance to catch their breath.

Kevin Richardson

That's what the [Class] A's are. Everyone plays defense.

Stan Bujacich

The jury will infer a defense that isn't argued.

Laurie Levenson

On paper, we have the ability to be a top-three defense. That's on paper. Now we have to go out and do it.

Adewale Ogunleye

They came out and passed really well. They're very athletic, and were able to terminate a lot of points in the beginning. Serving and defense won us the ballgame.

Craig Pitcher

We had solid full-court defense.

Rodney Vigil

Sound, disciplined defense. That's what Navy defense is all about.

Matt Russell

Ahearn was a key. Coach (Dana) Altman challenged every one of us, and me more than anybody because he's been on me about my defense. Ahearn was a focus for us.

Nick Porter

Our philosophy on defense is bend but don't break and we bent a lot tonight. Fortunately we only broke one time.

Jean Gordon

We didn't make their defense work. We stood around too much on the perimeter.

Jamont Gordon

I was trying to be more of a presence on defense. I wanted to be more active.

Courtney Sims

Danny did a heck of a job coming in and cleaning up my mess, and the defense also did great.

Bryan Brainer

How good is this defense? Man, we're champions. We said we couldn't say anything until we won a championship. But now we've won it, so you can say we're a great defense.

Dexter Jackson

They didn't shoot the ball particularly well tonight. Part of that's probably our defense.

Brian Holsinger

Our defense was really tight against a really good offensive team.

Larry Fleming

Our defense at the end was huge.

Rick Beene

Defense and rebounding are the reasons we are more competitive this year. We're a better team.

John Giannini

Bailey has played awesome defense during the tournament.

Margo Muhlbauer

(In the) second half we came out and did a better job of attacking the basket, and we played more pressure defense.

Wesley Matthews

They attack on defense and they play really tight, so it's easier to penetrate against when they are that tight one you.

Jordan Romero

Our defense was the name of our game.

Tami Slowiak

[Friday], we couldn't get a break. We couldn't play defense. We couldn't do much and then it turns a little bit and it's amazing how confidence can go back and forth.

Preston Paramore

They've gone from playing defense to seeing some of these initiatives pay off.

Robert Toomey

We tightened up our defense in the second half.

Kenton Walker

We did a great job on defense tonight.

October Harris

You don't play good defense and it just snowballs.

Terry Wetzel

I knew when we went there that their defense was good. We didn't know it was as good as it was.

Dan Henning

We stepped our intensity up, played better defense, applied the pressure.

Baron Davis

Your Honor, you can lawfully come to the defense of others, even if you are mistaken.

Rob Jones

Defense, we just never stopped them for any period of time.

Josh Chapman

His energy on the court is one of the better things we have. Even though he is only a sophomore, he gives us energy on defense and to handle the ball as much as he does.

Terry Goodson

Our defense is what got us here.

Charlene Murphy

Our defense is what we do best.

Amanda Rickhoff

We put more thought in our defense. That led to some easy baskets and that was reflected in the box score.

Larry Eustachy

Our pitching and defense will be very good. I think if we hit the ball we should compete with anybody in the state.

Tony Campos

It was a big week for us. And a big part of it has been our defense. And, oh, man, that's a blessing.

Anthony Grundy

It was a well pitched game for us. Our defense is our strength.

Rob Spidle

It looks good now. We have a lot of players back at midfield and on defense.

John Pascarella

The defense prefers to trust in the integrity of the process and to let the process run its course through the court.

Frederick Ehler

We try to create turnovers because defense always is our offense.

Dave Ideran

Our defense wasn't as good as it could have been. They made some adjustments at halftime and it really worked for them.

Bradley Starks

We are hitting a lot better. Defense and pitching were also very strong for us.

Jim Titus

We played well out there, but then their defense got rolling on us.

Steve Shoff

We made (Motta) work. I?m not displeased with our defense.

Joe Balestracci

I had them behind me. It was good having a defense behind me that knows how to play.

Thomas Pickett

I felt like defense is all about attitude. You have to come out ready to play defense.

Lance Robinson

They don't let up the defense and that's why they can win basketball games. Defensively, they're a terrific team, well coached.

Mark Cochran

I think our defense will be fine.

Al Gallagher

I think (the Canadians') forwards are better than their defense. They don't have to practice much defense.

Peter Elander

I just reacted, ... Defense is something you can win games with.

David Bell

Her award was all hustle and great defense.

Paul Doughty

He did an excellent job of solidifying our defense and keeping up our shutout.

Armando Padilla

Our younger players have been big. They have played top-notch on defense.

Adam Allerton

I think our defense slipped a little bit. We got a little too relaxed with the ball.

Ronnie Brewer

Our defense was the story. We can take this game and build on it.

Brandie Hoskins

I think our defense right now is as solid as you're going to get.

Jeff Fassero

If we play with this effort tomorrow, we should win the championship. If we play defense like this, it will be hard to beat us.

Tim Bankston

We always say our defense gets our offense going.

Jami Safrit

The whole game was predicated on defense. Our defense is what we got our offense out of and our defense is what won the game for us.

Louise Johnson

The defense had another nice game.

Jim Smart

Eli used to play defense. But we put him up there to give Ben a break.

Rod Schwarz

We were more active on defense. They [defense] didn't play conservative. They attacked things.

Cal Mccombs

We usually play better defense than that. That's usually the thing that keeps us in games.

Hill Denson

Our defense has done well.

Fred Hartsfield

Colin?s a mature freshman now. I was more impressed with his defense in this game.

Kurt Stellfox

That's the best pressure defense we'll see all year. We just have to be prepared for it.

Dan Sack

They had us down 19-4, we called timeout and changed defense.

Dave Joseph

We just have to play defense. Our defense has to get better.

Mike Brewster

He picked up the defense so quick . . . he's an unselfish player.

Jonathan Brown

Our defense was all over them all game. They really played a great game.

Dave Nieman

We were continually changing things up (on defense). It's starting to come together.

Jessie Evans

We started slow, but our defense carried us through.

Rodney Smith

We are the boxer's last line of defense.

Ron Stevens

We challenged Ben to make his contributions on defense; he was to go at (No.) 52 (Burr). Ben was a big part of that. Making that adjustment was probably the key to the game.

Steve Ridder

I cleared out the bench. We were working on serving and defense, and both did real well.

Brian Doyon

It's all predicated by the defense. There's no trapping, just straight man.

Darren Sanderlin

They can run and throw. Their defense has given up yardage, but they still have the Ws.

Mark Mazzon

It's our defense that's carried us for two years. As for me, I had to get back on the horse and ride.

Wade Moore

No doubt, we had some breakdowns on defense.

Dan Campbell

After a rough start, We changed some things up and did a better job of getting more body on them and that was a key to our defense.

Larry Kostelac

The zone was our main defense last year.

Tara Trevino

We had holes in the defense. There was a lot of miscommunication tonight.

Reggie Lewis

Stop the run and make them pass. That is how we are operating on defense right now.

Anthony Spencer

It's a controlled happiness. One of my concerns was the defense and it's been erratic.

Dave Farr

He's really built for the 3-4 defense.

Bill Rees

The key is our pressure defense, and how their guards handle it. We cause a lot of turnovers.

Dick Bliss

This weekend we had some breaks go our way. We put some offense together and our defense was solid.

Rick Sickmiller

His credibility is clearly going to be attacked by two very experienced defense attorneys.

Jim Walden

We had it all (Tuesday). We had key hitting, key pitching and we got some defense.

John Kodatt

They played good defense against him, but generally he shoots the ball a lot better than that.

Bob Banning

We want to be a physical defense, ... We want to hit people in the mouth.

Sammy Knight

Southwest has a great defense. We have a big task ahead of us.

Bobby Crockett

Our office will conduct a vigorous investigation and an aggressive defense on behalf of Mr. Wesson.

Peter Jones

We lost one (on the road), and we could have lost this one if we didn't hold them on defense. We have to learn to win on the road a lot better.

We made a few adjustments on defense. We took some things away and we didn't let them have the offensive rebounds.

Danny Starkey

They're all showing good progress in our new defense.

Tom Amstutz

Our defense today was incredible.

Steve Pettus

There's little defense to no-cause evictions. All we can do is buy them some time.

I thought our defense did a real good job against their big girls.

Mick Fleming

They continued to put the ball in play and put pressure on the defense.

After Christmas, the kids bought into the fact that defense will keep you in games.

Brandon Beirne

I think this is going to be the best defense Miami ever had.

We made some plays on defense.

Rex Meshelle

He just had good control. That was the key. He didn't put people on base and allowed the defense to do what they were supposed to do.

Chad Artz

On defense, there aren't as many things to do. On defense, I can fly around more.

Sami Abdulbari

Defense is what we rely on.

Chrissy Kelly

Defense is always our game. It's what we have to do; it's what we know how to do; it's what we've always done.

Jake Goebbert

They are very aggressive on defense. We'll have to take very good care of the basketball.

Jeff Stowers

You probably credit their defense for that. They were well prepared and they did a good job of frustrating our guys.

Jerome Toby

There were a couple things that we tried. They played good defense and took a few things away from us.

Joe Schoenfeld

Our defense swarmed to the ball and had great speed.

Kelly Collier

Our defense cost us in the end. We just did not execute like we were supposed to.

Barry Hightower

I want them to learn that defense wins games.

Jen Banas

We were brilliant on defense, and that's what won us the game.

The goal is to be balanced. The more balanced you are, the tougher it is for the defense to guess where you're going to go.

Dan Sundstrom

We've been disruptive on defense when people come through the lane.

William Anderson

Our run defense has been great all year. Nobody has been able to run the ball on us, and we don't feel that anybody can.

Kyle Williams

It was more our defense than our offense.

Roy Roberson

Their defense never allowed us to get in a rhythm. We were playing a little fast, a little nervous.

Tal Wold

Most important of all, he kept the defense fresh.

Lawyer Milloy

Our defense was terrible. They didn't miss many shots.

Fred Thompson

She had a great game. She stayed on her angles, had great clears. She helped the defense out a lot.

It was fun. . . . BC did a good job of putting the ball in play. The defense was very good behind me.

Bryan Henry

Defense is key, it comes first.

Aaron Thompson

Our pitching was not up to par and neither was our defense. It was one thing after another. We were bad, plain and simple.

Dave Rowell

Everybody says that defense wins championships. It doesn't if you can't score.

Bart Manson

Our defense played great. To shut them out for a half was a great accomplishment.

Dwight Bowling

War is just a racket... I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else.

Smedley Butler

Our defense did a nice job for us in the second half.

Curtis Blair

Foul trouble hurt us, and we had to change our defense. We had been doing well with our man defense, but when we had to change it, we weren't as aggressive.

Charles Freet

It was the physicality of their defense that kept us out of our flow.

Mike Fabiaschi

He's done a really good job, but it's the whole defense. We've really tackled well.

Monte Kiffin

This is the last line of defense before south Stockton.

Dave Williams

What we found out is, it wasn't the offense. It was how we ran the offense. You have to run it as hard as you do on defense.

David Cornwell

I'll take the blame for that. Our defense just wasn't ready. There was a lot of confusion in the secondary and a lot of blown assignments.

Derric Coakley

The FEMA of the defense department.

George Packer

We made contact, but we didn't hit the ball hard. We made their defense look better than I thought it was.

Chuck Green

If not, we'll likely set him up for a title defense of his WBO As-Pac title in the Philippines.

Antonio Aldeguer

It sounds corny, but defense wins championships and that's what tonight was all about.

Dave Michael

We were a step behind on defense and it seemed like they were a step ahead on defense.

It's been about defense and rebounding.

Heath Walton

We pride ourselves on our defense. You should never have an off-night on defense.

Lesli Priebe

We kicked the ball, we played defense, we covered kicks.

Jeff Hollis

We were getting a little worried. But we were confident we had it. All season our defense has been carrying us and that's what we fall back on.

Brian Wagner

That says a lot for the defense.

Dale Ingram

That was out key component tonight. We played better defense tonight.

Charlie Williams

I know our defense can hit a little bit. We came out and knew what we had to do and we got it done.

Jake Villhauer

We pride ourselves on defense.

Jeff Gross

We've talked about [perimeter defense] a lot. In Yale's case, they were a hot team.

You have to play defense in basketball. We started to pick it up and rebound better and that was the key.

Mario Jointer

We've got to get better offensively. We're not giving our defense a chance.

Jon Kutler

These measures are necessary for our defense and the defense of our friends and allies.

Robert Joseph

It took us a while to adjust to the defense after the first quarter.

Our strongest point is our defense.

Craig Milburn

Defense of philosophic doubt.

Arthur James Balfour

We just played harder defense and did a better job in transition.

Ivan Radenovic

Our offense picked up our defense and pitching today.

Leo Veleas

With Harmon pitching, Newberry can beat anybody if they decide to play defense.

Tom Sparks

The defense was moving the ball really well. They were very strong, and Penn just wasn't able to get by them.

Julie Lane

He's just a ball hog. He probably could be our best player on offense, but we need him on defense.

Dennis Allen

Bethany does well but as always the pitcher needs defense.

Jennifer Connolly

“We haven't seen defense like that in years.

Joe Williamson

That's all we've talked about is defense, defense, defense. Now we're coming out and backing up our talk.

Troy Hudson

Defense was the key, we guarded. Reid and Russell played very well.

Mike Haupt

We're trying to stretch the defense and get them to run (laterally).

Brian White

I could have defended a lot better. It was poor defense on my part.

Our defense played well. They were just on the field too long.

Todd Schumacher

Our defense is a group of kids who just won't quit.

If you can push across one run and play solid defense, you can't ask for much more than that.

Jennifer Staffey

The kids played great defense. That wasn't the problem.

Cathy Ralston

He's playing now like he's in charge. He's not intimidated by a defense. He's intimidating them.

Gil Haskell

Oh yeah. It's like Charlie said on TV, it's not him against Ben. He has to go against the Steelers' defense and Ben has to face the Browns.

David Frye

She played very well and had some key baskets for us. She goes hard to the basket and played well on defense.

Paul Gerycz

Defense was the key for us tonight. It's what Bulldog basketball is all about...getting in their face and forcing mistakes.

Craig Swanson

Our quarterback will not play defense as long as I'm alive. ... Unless he's about 6-6 and 250. And our quarterback is not 6-6 and 250.

Mark Gibson

The Cowboys will look to make a Thanksgiving feast out of Chicago's poor run defense. ...

Drew Henson
