We're getting better, but our defense the last couple of games hasn't been there. Teams have been scoring on us. We've got three more games to get it right before the Big East Tournament -- three important games -- so, hopefully, we can get it started now.

We needed to hit a couple of deep shots to loosen them up a little bit. The shots weren't falling, but we were able to hang in there with them.

We haven't played good defense the past couple games. We've got to play better defensively. There have been some mental letdowns.

I haven't played good defense the last couple of games. We're definitely stressing defense and rebounding, and a couple of things on the offensive side.
