I have a great deal of respect for coach Flanagan and his program. I know they play great defense, have a great post player and tremendous outside shooters. They’re a dangerous, disciplined tournament team, and...

One of the first things Reggie asked Patrick was what Virginia Tech looked like on defense. It tells you that he feels like he’s going to be back pretty quickly.

We were getting a little worried. But we were confident we had it. All season our defense has been carrying us and that’s what we fall back on.

The alarm clock didn’t go off until the second half. We didn’t match their intensity on defense. We got hung up in fool’s gold. Some shots were going in but we didn’t stop anybody.

They played great defense. It seemed like the whole night our field position was horrible. You can’t give a good team like Cedar Falls the ball at midfield or closer.

Our press gave them some trouble. We started of very strong and played aggressive defense. It is a good thing that our poor free-throw shooting did not cost us the game.

Our defense was OK, but OK isn’t good enough for the NHL, and OK doesn’t get you to the playoffs. So it’s probably a classic case of possibly taking a step back to take a...

As a team, we play defense well and our kids listen. Memphis did a poor job at the free throw line (26-of-41) and that really kept us in the game.

When in 1863 Thomas Huxley coined the phrase ‘Man’s Place in Nature,’ it was to name a short collection of his essays applying to man Darwin’s theory of evolution. The Origin of Species had been...

Everybody wants to play offense and defense and everybody wants to be the best, that’s a given, … But when you’re not able to contribute at that given time, are you going to focus all...

According to the Washington Post, the Department of Defense is changing the guidelines with respect to oversight and notification of Congress by military intelligence. Is this true or false?

Our defense continues to play well and hopefully will continue [to] into this weekend for the Park Rapids tournament.

Our defense stepped up. They came up big with the stick checks and some great double teams. Ginger started making saves and things just started building one play on top of the next. Our transition...

The most fundamental purpose of government is defense, not empire

Our defense was exceptional today. What else can I say? That’s what I’m looking for every time we take the field.

If we can just play better defense. We can be a pretty decent club.

I think our team defense [in the] last game and all season has been very good. I think we’ve got an understanding of what we’ve got to do.

Typically, people who can score touchdowns or create big plays, whether they affect the quarterback on defense or make the plays down the field, are guys that have a little bit more impact.

Defense. That’s what we’re known for.

It once again positions Republicans as the stronger party on national security and defense. It’s persevere and win versus cut and run.

We just turned our defense up and the shots went down for us. It’s huge because we haven’t had a close game in region yet. This is just what we need going into the state...

We didn’t get stops on defense. That’s what it boils down to. The big man (Hibbert) scored at will down there.

After a shaky first inning, the team really relaxed and fell in behind Wiley with some defense and made the plays I know this team is capable of. Every single person on this team contributed....

I could [not] care less. I’m nutty like that. If you put our defense in that situation, we’re going to be triumphant.

If you make peace without defense power,then you should be really ready to be ruled.

That’s the last thing I’m worried about. The most important thing is for our defense to be able to get a stop in the fourth quarter.

It all starts with our defense and rebounding. If we’ll defend, we’ve got a shot at beating some people.

Defense had the upper hand.

Their best offense was their defense in the first half. They were very, very good defensively, the best I’ve seen them and I’ve scouted them a couple of times in the last two weeks.

But what we’re really concerned with is the fact that we’re losing our defense industrial base.

They have a tremendously talented defense, if defense wins championships, then this defense would be the one to do it, they’ve been the 3A State runners-up the past two seasons.

I thought we were active on both ends. Our defense is coming around. We are going on a good month now with solid defense. A lot of times in critical moments we have not been...

I thought this was our best performance of the series. We talked about playing tough, hard-nosed defense tonight to try and close this series out.

You do not have to do anything to defend yourself in life; just be beautiful and life will defend you.

One thing Jimmie does do is help our defense. He usually gets a steal, here or there, and helps get our transition game going. He’s always a capable scorer. He can reel off three, five...

We played good defense. One of the papers said he made the shot with two seconds remaining, but that’s not correct. It went in right as the buzzer sounded.

Even tired, our defense did the job on them. They (the Lady Cherokees) didn’t rest on defense.

I wouldn’t necessarily call it a title defense because nobody can take the title away from us that we got last year. That’s something that’s going to be a part of our history and a...

We got back on defense and actually ran set plays correctly, ran our motion offense better and shot better.

When you go back to last year and look at both teams, their defense presented the biggest problem for us. They’re so solid that you have to do things right against them, and when the...

This game will be a lot tougher. If we just play the defense like we played the last time, maybe a little harder, we should be OK.

As of right now, I’m more worried about the defensive end. Offense comes when you play good defense, so my main goal is just not let her score as much as she usually does, not...

Boll is playing hurt right now, but I need her on defense.

The best thing about the weekend was how we played in our defense zone. Our coverage was great. That was the thing I was most worried about go in, and we tightened it up tremendously.

They were playing really well. They were hustling more than we were. We weren’t playing as well on defense as we normally do. That was bothering us. That’s usually our backbone.

The defense was the key tonight and our offense was our offense of old. Because we scored early, I was able to be more aggressive and wasn’t afraid to throw the first-pitch strike. I was...

We have been focusing on defense. To come out and not make some plays there was not what we wanted certainly, but our kids responded back with the bats.

We just weren’t as assertive as we were against the man defense. We really didn’t get that swagger back until about halfway through the third quarter when Grogan hit an open jumper, and we were...

I like using my defense, you know. I’m not going to get mad about giving up a hit because you make one good pitch, the next pitch you get a double play.

Ignorance is one of the best defense available. Distraction is a remedy.
