They played tremendous defense on us. They frustrate you. They're very good defenders, and we as a team have to learn how to handle it when that happens. ... I don't like the way we handled a lot of things, but we are going to learn from this game.

When we don't get turnovers, we can't win. We had just enough late to hold on to the lead by playing tight defense and swarming the ball. We really dug out some ugly rebounds tonight.

We heard a lot about their defense, and it is flat-out terrific, but we play pretty good defense too, and we've been able to score on a lot of good teams.

His skill level, and my love for having big guys who can shoot, made the marriage work. He plays and shoots and passes the way I like our big guys to do it to make our offense and defense work.

(Marshall) played a great game and they're getting better every day. I thought they just played excellent defense on us. We did all of the things we wanted to do to get open shots and they just didn't go in.

We're all trying to get as many wins as possible and they took a major step with the win tonight. I thought they played tremendous defense on us. We couldn't make shots the way we normally do.
