We knew our defense early in the year would have to support the offense a little bit because we had so many new faces on offense and they’ve done that. We have to eliminate mistakes...

We played great defense. We had no errors and we made every play clean and smooth. They got people on base almost every inning, but we shut them down with our defense.

We talked about defense at halftime. When we went man-to-man in the second quarter they really struggled.

I think with coach here and focusing on [defense], everyone’s going to be protected.

I don’t have to shoot it a lot, I just have to keep the defense honest,

Adam has a good defense in front of him that is playing better and he has been playing better as the season has progressed. I think the experiences he had last year, more or less...

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

We took a national perspective, not a regional perspective, … We proposed what was best for the national defense.

Monica is a great athlete. That’s probably why she was first team all-defense in the KVAC.

I still feel like I can play defense at first base at a very high level.

Kris Canto is to our defense what Nick Clemens is to the offense.

We came out with a lot of intensity on defense (in the fourth). We wanted this game bad.

It’s my job to open up the defense. If I’m shooting from outside, things will open up underneath.

We couldn’t have played defense any better. Just one play, other than that Amber Hanson had just an excellent game at shortstop, just an excellent game. I couldn’t ask any more of her. She checked...

Michael, he’s tough. Case plays very good help defense. He tried to drive and couldn’t get anything, they did a real nice job.

Web sites cost almost next to nothing when you are talking about a $20 million defense effort.

I thought we played pretty good defense tonight. We made some nice plays behind Butts to get him out of some innings. I was real proud of Brett going out there and giving us a...

We’re not playing any defense. They shot 55 percent from the field and score 56 points in the first half. You’re not going to win many games in this league playing like that. We’ve definitely...

We were unable to execute against their defense.

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...

It’s an opportunity to claim these guys don’t have a case, and it allows the defense to allege that it’s purely political.

We throw strikes and play defense, that’s pretty much our philosophy.

We came out and played solid defense. We made a few mental mistakes in the first quarter, but we really stepped it up in the second half.

We did a great job wearing the defense down. That was our goal. We felt like if we could run successfully on these guys we could beat them.

We pride ourselves on how well we play defense.

You’ve got to play good on-ball defense. We can’t let them get open shots or they’re going to make them. If they make tough shots we’ll have to live with that.

We changed our defense late in the third quarter. We went to a zone press instead of man-to-man. They didn’t turn (the ball) over, but it seemed to change their approach and it seemed to...

That we have had to spend several years relearning these lessons is a measure of the U.S. defense establishment’s failure to take counterinsurgency seriously after the American retreat from Vietnam.

A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.

We came out too passive on defense, that’s how we dug a hole. But I was pleased with the guys’ efforts down the stretch.

Our defense has been our focal point all season. They made solid plays for most of the game.

Basically, it’s our defense. In the past two games, we weren’t ourselves out there.

We got into foul trouble and didn’t play our normal defense. We were a step slow and they took advantage of it.

He’s moving well, and he’s finding the puck. And outside of his net, he’s working with his [defense] well. He’s definitely healthy and you can see the way he’s in control.

I think we came out pretty intense with our full-court defense. We were able to cause some turnovers and get some transitions baskets.

Terry Nichols was acquitted of most of the charges against him. He’s got a real defense here, and this could be the thing that makes the difference.

Their defense fueled their offense. They kept making stops.

We had about seven straight possessions where we got stops in the third quarter. We really stepped up our defense tonight. We talked at halftime about giving up easy baskets in the first half and...

That defense alone is effectual, sure and durable which depends upon yourself and your own valour.

If it was just Reggie, we could torque the defense to handle him, but that would be a sure way to lose.

Great defense and good pitching led to the low scoring between both teams.

We practiced covering the option all week. The defense did a great job of staying with their assignments.

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....
