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.

This team has been ready to play every night and we have played very good defense all year long, it’s been a constant for us. We have not had one game where we haven’t had...

We have to play really good defense. We need to score, and we can’t get blanked out. We need to hit the ball. Right now at this point, more than anything else, we have to...

I hate to say it, but I’m getting used to it a little bit. Our defense is strong. Even if it’s close, as long as we can get a couple of runs, we’re in good...

If he responds, great. If he doesn’t, those minutes are going to be hard to get. We can’t play defense without urgency and tough-mindedness.

We weren’t doing anything to help each other on defense. I think we got tired. We had a few mental lapses here and there, and we lost confidence and momentum.

We haven’t had a guy who can play that kind of defense,

They just played good defense. That’s all I can say. It’s all of our fault. We just have to point the finger at ourselves.

Whenever you can spring those big runs like that … that will kill the defense. It’s exciting for us to know that if we spring a big one, that must mean we did our blocks...

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.

Your brand is your personal lawyer… It defends and speaks for you even in your absence. Keep calm and maintain a good brand!

The offense practiced well and our defense really picked it up a notch as far as intensity and speed. We have gotten better the last two days, but we just have to keep improving.

They play such good defense. It’s a lesson for the girls out there. That’s how you play defense ? in your face, physical. That’s why they’re one of the best teams in the state.

It was a very exciting offensive game, … Hopefully it won’t get like that this year. I think our defense will be able to hold them back. If it does get into a shootout, we’ll...

I thought out kids did a tremendous job of bringing the defense.

We did not hit the ball well. Our defense was there. We just did not get it done like we are supposed to at the plate.

There was too much defense. We should have pushed the ball up the field more.

Our strength is our defense, and that’s what got us back in the game tonight. This was a total team effort and a much deserved win for our team.

Our defense is better than it’s been in a while. We’re solid at every position.

What we have seen is extremely active activity by (Iraq’s) air defense system,

Often times I have hated in self-defense; if I were stronger I would not have used such a weapon.

Our defense was playing well, but we couldn’t get off the field on third or fourth downs. Once they scored, they had the momentum going, so it was real big that our offense put a...

Our defense played better tonight. Hudson hardly took any shots inside the paint tonight and we limited them to three offensive rebounds, all in the fourth quarter.

We knew we would have to play tough defense from our first game at their place. They run kind of a Princeton offense with a lot of back cuts and they like to kick it...

I just snuck behind the defense. I tried to go 5-hole, but he just made a great save.

They are both doing a great job, and I think the defense feels confident with both of them in there.

I just told a couple of players, the first thing that sticks out on both offense and defense is that we were successful on third downs for the most part.

The worse thing you can do in a fight is stop moving. When someone attacks, they create force, movement, momentum, but you’ll be okay as long as you can see and feel the direction of...

The most important part of our team is teamwork and defense we play. Everybody was into it.

Some nights, things just click. It’s a combination of good defense. But they also had some good looks. They had some shots that they normally hit. You combine that with good defense and it was...

We had a really great team effort, we made great decisions, and we played great team defense.

Tonight was one of our better defensive games, from start to finish. We fed off of our defense, and then offensively we just kind of picked them apart.

I was really proud of the guys. We played really hard. We were active. And we played really solid defense, and we got out with a win.

We got a little complacent on defense. They converted on all our mistakes.

They’re the key to the team. We just played a little better defense in the second half.

She’s played so well the last 2-3 weeks. She can handle the ball, shoot, rebound and play good defense.

Our defense has been real inconsistent. We’ve got five weeks to fix it. Hopefully by district tournament time we’ll have it fixed. We know that’s the weak part of our game right now. Pitching is...

There are many pleasant fictions of the law in constant operation, but there is not one so pleasant or practically humorous as that which supposes every man to be of equal value in its impartial...
