I think we saw poor defense, poor rebounding, not-great shooting and not-great passing and those aren’t … add them all up together, it’s not a good recipe at all. It’s one of those recipes you...

We did a lot of good things tonight with the exception of four or five minutes with our defense breaking down. Other than that we had 40 plus minutes of pretty solid defense. We moved...

Defense and rebounding win championships. We can beat people lots of different ways, but … it’s difficult when you’re not getting any stops.

We just keep on applying pressure no matter how hard they play defense. They were doubling down on me and Derek. We kept applying pressure and they got tired and we wore them out.

They play good defense and do a good job of defending what we want to do. Granted, we had open shots and we’ll need to shoot the ball better than we did tonight if we...

The hard part about one being tough yet meek is the illusion of being a punching bag.

He has basically unhittable stuff. But he helps himself with the way he plays defense. He gets off the mound quickly and covers a lot of ground.

Another sound defensive game for us, and that’s been our key. If we play sound defense and back up our pitchers then we’re coming out on top.

We need everything from her; we need a lot of scoring, a lot of rebounding, defense. She has to find a way. We need everything.

Scot is a tremendous player. I look forward to him anchoring our defense on what I hope will be a very strong team in 2006.

We’ve been playing at a high level on defense all year. I thought our linemen did a good job of putting pressure on their quarterback and kept the big plays to a minimum.

The Department of Defense continues to consult with the Department of Justice on this litigation to include additional legal options,

In our defense we want everyone to help each other out. We have some experience back there. It’s just a matter of how long it takes for that group to get comfortable together.

I think we’ve been playing good defense. I think our team is starting to come around … but we still have a lot of work to do. We’ve got to slow them (the Red Raiders)...

We managed to hold her (Wilson) to just 14 points so that’s a credit to our defense. I’m just so proud of the way we came together tonight.

They really do play excellent defense and get after it.

It just keeps Bush further on the defensive. He continues playing defense rather than offense, and he can’t gain traction on anything.

We played well up to 70 minutes on defense and offense. The last 10 minutes we fell apart. It’s one of those games we’d like to forget about. We want to learn from this game...

[Kube] kicking, him playing defense and making one of those runs, he did a lot of good things for Cary-Grove. People need to understand about the field position. We were in minus territory a lot....

Both teams played pretty good defense. In the first half I thought our players played fantastic defense and prevented them from doing what they like to do.

These are the wastrels of defense.

We had solid full-court defense.

We had good life from start to finish, and we played very good defense with the exception of a handful of possessions. That allowed us to get out and get our running game going, and...

We wanted to be aggressive and physical on defense. We were very sharp.

China’s real defense spending is much higher.

The defense sector has had quite a run over the past 18 months. As people start to anticipate a war scenario, we’re seeing a little froth in these stocks.

I thought we served well and I thought our back row defense was pretty good. I wasn’t pleased with our blocking. We can get better.

He’s been great on defense this year. He’s been a great example for our young big guys. He’s a great off-the-ball defender, and some of the little things he does don’t always show up on...

I think defense is the easiest thing to do to get yourself going. If you get a steal or a rebound, it motivates you to keep doing it. If I can get some steals and...

I conceal myself behind cynicism because it’s safe. Camouflage is more protective than body armor. Why do you think the Department of Defense contacted me to design a gun that shoots insults?

I think it was definitely our defense because some nights we were horrible shooting. Our defense is what got us to the championship.

Taylor and Bailey hit such important shots. Taylor’s defense is amazing. She has no fear. She just went right at them and did a great job.
