Games we’ve won this year for the most part we’ve won with our defense. We’ve got a lot of players that can run in and out, and the beauty of this group is they’re versatile....

Our front line is solid, both on offense and defense. They’re as good as anybody, I think.

We’re finding a way to win at the end of games. We’ve been locking up on defense, making more plays at the end.

Our defense was good again tonight and we needed it. We sort of went cold in the second half. We went 12-for-42 in the second half. To win a game when you only make 12...

Our agility and speed will really help us on defense. And our offense is going to come from defense.

Obviously I’m real happy with the way we are hitting the ball. I think our defense could be a little tighter, but we are on a roll.

The first half, especially, we couldn’t run our offense. They were pressuring us and we couldn’t respond. Their defense killed us.

We are playing really strong defense right now. We have all season. But we have been focused in the playoffs. We’ve had to be because our offense hasn’t been so good.

She will be an asset for us on either flank of the defense because of her speed and quickness. That is an element we have lacked in past seasons. That speed gives her the ability...

Our defense has been tremendous. They come out and play so hard. Our offensive line has been great, too. Look at our running game. You win up front.

Their guards are so unbelievably quick on defense, they slap down a lot and get a lot of steals. Their press makes it hard for you to run your offense.

We showed a different defense and Shafter didn’t handle the zone well.

[In Baghdad Wednesday, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld seconded the desire expressed by Iraqi officials to see Iraqi forces take over more security responsibilities and allow US forces to begin leaving over the coming months. Mr....

I really love playing man-to-man defense. But in the fourth, we knew they would have trouble with the zone. We packed it in and, fortunately for us, they couldn’t make any jump shots.

People build defenses around a weakness, not around strength. Where self-esteem is strong, a defense is unnecessary.

I wish to commend you for your vigorous defense of American values, including democracy and human rights, and for holding to account those who would threaten America’s economic security through the systematic counterfeiting of our...

That was by far the best defense we’ve played all year. That was the biggest difference in the game because we never let up from start to finish.

I thought our defense was pretty consistent. We wanted to keep changing our defense and going between our zones and switching back to man. We wanted to keep them off balance and we didn’t want...

We need to improve on the little things, definitely our defense. We’re not a team that’s going to hit three-run home runs to win games. We have to field the ball and move runners over.

He’s battled through a lot of those cuts on the face. He uses that head almost as a first defense.

They just play hard defense. They play with a lot of guts, a lot of grit. They just battled us.

We knew we had to play better defense because most of our shots weren’t falling. It was a different kind of game for us, but I think we showed why we deserve to win it...

Give credit to them, they played good defense and made their free throws. This is a special group of kids that never gave up and were in every game. The ball just didn’t fall our...

Jeff hasn’t scored yet, but for his side, just Jeff being on the field keeps their defense honest.

Because our military power dwarfs that of other countries – we spend more on defense than the rest of the world combined – this Administration believes that alliances and international institutions are more of a...

I was very pleased with the way the team played, especially they way they hustled and dove on defense. You can’t ask for anything more. Sometimes the breaks don’t go your way. We still have...

Ridicule first, then shame and condescension are the weapons and ammunition – in the mental manipulation and psychological terrorism of the oppressed. Self-esteem, truth and fellowship among peers are their able defenses – in a...

Our defense hasn’t been good enough to win. We haven’t been physical enough, and they’ve taken it to us.

You talk about Orlando’s defense — those balls he goes back on, those in-between balls he takes away. Now, you’re talking about a guy that’s never played outfield, so it’s a little more magnified.

We played (our zone defense) a lot better than we had earlier in the season, as far as seeing cutters coming through the lane and defensive rebounding.

Stang played very well, especially on defense. They worked harder than we did. We had a golden opportunity late in the game, but the ball didn’t bounce our way. I thought we were going to...

It was a solid win. I think we finally put together a solid all-around game. Our defense, pitching and hitting all came together, and we need to carry that momentum into our next week of...

With our offense not really here early in the season, we’re really emphasizing pitching and defense. I told Timmy to keep the ball low and make them hit grounders, especially on this infield. There are...

They did a tremendous job on defense all night. I’m just proud of them. Coming into this game I felt like Loris offense and Loris’ back were as good as the two teams we’ve already...

Hope springs eternal when you are a defense attorney in a case like this.

The key to the game was the way we closed out the first half. We tightened up on defense and attacked them on offense.

It was just a great comeback. Their defense was active, but we finally got it going. We started to get some stops and then Ben was just huge.

We are fortunate to get out of here with a victory. Both teams played some really awesome defense and we just couldn’t get our offense in gear in the second half. This is another game...

We’ve got three or four guys coming off the bench that play good defense and pressure their guards all the way up and down the court, and we hope they (the opponent) gets tired by...

Why spend your life working on defense when no defense can be made truly impenetrable? Take the offensive – learn the vulnerabilities of the world around you and be the change you wish to see...

It’s always something we do well. We always count on our defense more than our offense. It’s one of those things that if you get it going early, it’s going to be a good night.

Again, it is absurd to hold that a man ought to be ashamed of being unable to defend himself with his limbs, but not of being unable to defend himself with speech and reason, when...

We didn’t give up the big play, and that’s the main thing. We’re still growing on defense, and we’ve got some young guys mixed in with some seniors.

We’ve gotten here with defense and the strength of our bench. It’s hard for people to match up with us because we can throw a lot of different lineups at them.

We needed to pick up our defense. (Forward) Steve Snider and I have been saying this whole trip that defense is going to win this for us.

Defend your leadership roles with your true character. Never attack your own aspirations with corruption and unfaithfulness! Keep calm and be honest!

I think for us offensively, our catalyst has been our defense, and so to get some steals or a break off the rebound, we play best when we do that.

Their defense is fast, … We can’t make any mistakes. We have to take great first steps and proper angles, but we also have to be at our best blocking. These guys can run, and...

Our defense still isn’t anywhere near where I hoped it would be at this point. That needs to get better.

Once I was free; there was no cage that could bind me, and I had yet to create my box of numbness within my mind to be my silent protector.
