Ever since that game, I've tried to play tough defense in practice. Defense wins games.
-
A lot of teams against State worry so much about their backdoor cuts that they sag off. That's when State kills them with the 3. But Coach Williams sticks with his principles -- pressuring the ball, denying the passing lanes -- and that forces them to get out of their offense and get out of their comfort zone.

That's definitely going to be one of our keys to the game, to take care of the ball.

We're definitely a better team, everybody can see that by the way we're playing.

Defense was the key. We were lazy before the game, but at halftime, we didn't look back, we looked ahead.
-
We had expectations of making it farther than people thought we ever could have made it. We even said we could win the whole thing -- that's how good we were playing. It just wasn't in the cards.

I can't wait to get out there. Every game could be an instant classic.
-
It's poetic almost. He starts of the year with that, and this game he starts it off by banking in a 3. You kind of knew it was going to be his night.
-
Now I foul out of the game and it looks like I'm a hack. It's frustrating. Hopefully I can just come out tomorrow and play a great game.

We don't look at the standings and say that we want to finish here or there. If we take care of what we want to do, the standings, rankings and all that will take care of itself.
