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

Darren did an excellent job against Pryor. He shut him down. The way he played defense just lifted everyone else up.

It was just one of those nights. It was a combination of us playing good defense and getting good looks and good shots. We were fortunate to get them on a night where they didn’t...

Lake County is a high-tempo team, so we will have to play defense. They are 4-0 in the [Skyway] conference, and we are 3-1, so if we want to win the conference, we have to...

It’s a defense that ranks first in our area, and amongst the best in the entire state, allowing only about 92 total yards a game.

Our defense kept us in the game. It was reminiscent of the way we won so many games last year. There are always points in the game when you struggle a little offensively. You hope...

That’s impressive. Thank goodness we were playing defense and getting rebounds. That kept us in the game.

Anytime you shoot as poorly as we did in the first half, you have to step up and play defense while you’re down here, because your shots aren’t always gonna fall when you’re down here.

Jon has done an excellent job. Our defense has been ranked among the top 20 every year. We wanted to make sure he had some stability.

It seemed to me that Wall Street analysts fired all their cannons this morning in defense of technology and look at the result. Some of these stocks will get bailed out if they significantly beat...

He has a plausible defense; he could say he’s fighting for his constituency, and that’s true in large part. The thing is, the contributions undercut his argument. The money really complicates it, or even compromises...

Plus, … her defense has improved. She’s never been one of my quickest players, but she plays with so much heart that it gives her that extra quickness.

For us on defense, we just had to do what we had been doing all year. We didn’t have to a make any big changes or anything like that just because we were facing a...

Defense was key to the section. You look at Washington and all their success. A lot of it has to do with them always being the best defensive team in the section. Since we lost...

Our run defense has not done well, and there is no excuse for that. We aren’t fitting well, and we have a couple of new players in there, who aren’t as good as the guys...

Alabama has an awesome defense, especially their front guys. They’re better than any of the defenses in the Big 12, in my opinion.

Is there any instinct more deeply implanted in the heart of man than the pride of protection, a protection which is constantly exerted for a fragile and defenceless creature?

This effort will clearly increase the overall burden on our military, … The Defense Department’s civilian leaders must look at the impact of this and future crises and the ongoing war on the military’s future...

One of our biggest strengths have been defense and I expect it to stay the same this year. We have a team that have been together for a long time. We can rely on our...

We didn’t pitch exceptionally well or smart today, but we hit. We hit and we played pretty good defense.

They do not have to convince the government to spend money on defense, really. Defense is a pretty secure area of the budget. In that sense, there is a built-in power that they have.

Our defense at the end was tremendous by all our guys. They couldn’t get a shot the last couple of chances.

We spent a lot of time over the holidays working on our defense and our positioning. Defense is really a mindset, and positioning is being mentally ready. Those were the areas we concentrated on, and...

I thought he (Palacio) played pretty well. He played defense well, which is tough no matter which of those guys you put him on. The important thing is we did a good job of keeping...

Sparks can make you stretch your defense more than you want. I think it shows how much teams respect him that he still was not getting many open looks even when he was not shooting...

It was an amazing team effort, but it definitely was our defense. We were just staying steady and controlling the ball.

We played strong defense. We used some full-court pressure. And we did a good job of rotating (to help).

That’s what the defense is here for. Come put out fires and help the offense as much as we can.

I think our defense was the key thing. I think we got up on their guards, and forced them to do some things they didn’t want to do.

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

We’ve got the defense down.

Obviously our defense wasn’t very solid tonight, we can’t give up 100 points to anybody and be successful. We came out flat in the first half and fought back in the second half but we...

Our defense was great. We were together on every play. If a man beats us, we knew a teammate could help us out, and that’s the way we want to play all year round.

Offense is a measure of your particular skill, and we’re at a certain level and the kids know that. Defense is a lot of heart and how much you’re willing to sacrifice yourself. And our...

Getting the game in an up-tempo style of play with pressure defense is the way we want to play. We extended our defense and caused opportunities for ourselves.

I was upset and I let it vent. In actuality, if anyone is at fault it’s me. Our defense broke down, but I’m capable of making those saves and I didn’t. I talked to the...

The players right now, like the coaches, are searching for an identity, … With new players on defense, they are trying to find a balance of what we want to do and what the players...

When you look at a secretary of defense who has been as forceful and effective as Donald Rumsfeld, for good or for ill, he’s a tough customer,

It sounds to me like the defense is coming on and getting stronger. They overcame the turnovers (three fumbles), and that shows quite a bit of character.

We play defense, but we don’t specifically play to defend the 26-foot 3-pointer, and they hit some of those.

I’m at a loss for words on our defense. We’ve got to have significant improvement.

Clearly, effort. That’s all it is. Against Georgia Tech, there were some things that we could do better. Execution, defense — that’s one thing. But what happened against N.C. State was lack of effort.

We’ll have to handle their pressure and play with the same intensity on defense as we did on Saturday night. If we can beat their pressure, we do have a size advantage in several positions....

I think the point the president makes repeatedly about the need to develop a missile defense is [that] the Cold War is over, and the United States needs to protect itself and our allies and...

He’s exciting, a great all-around player. He gives you defense, offense, speed. He had a great game.

We got enough backdoor looks to deflate Texas’ defense.

I will admit that we as young rebels always wanted fundamentalists to understand our take on their religion, but rarely, if ever, the other way around. The fundamentalists are the real artists. If you saw...

We executed on all aspects of the game. We hit the boards, we played defense and did a great job on our press break. The kids played hard and kept their composure throughout. I?m really...

I thought Erin’s defense was fantastic. She gave our staff and this program everything today.
