We've been playing great ordsprog

We've been playing great defense the entire NIT. We've tried to stress that we'll have some bad spells offensively, and we'll have to rely on our defense to win.

It's something we stress all the time. We work on different aspects of defense, especially team defense, where we help each other. The girls know they have to play physical and they need to communicate. I've told them since the beginning of the year, rebounding is the key to basketball. They're playing great defense right now.

They say that defense wins championships, and we feel like we play good enough zone and man defense to go far in the tournament. Offensively, with the size we have, we always stress getting our inside game working because that will open up the outside for us, too.

The kids understood how important defense was and playing together on defense. We played a great defensive game against Conestoga on opening night and that kind of set the tone for the entire season.

We haven't been putting up big numbers offensively and have to rely on defense to win games. We can get it done with our defense, and that is why we are winning games right now.

I knew we would probably start slow (offensively). The one thing we stressed this week was defense. A constant effort on defense should be there all the time. That's what kept us in the game early. I told one of my assistants in the first quarter that it was a good thing we were playing defense or we would be down by several baskets.

Once we got in the game mentally and started playing a little bit better defense, we were fine. Our defense determines the way we play offensively.

We started playing better defense and took charge. We did some good things offensively and played much better defense in the second half.

We were playing very lackadaisical (in the first half) offensively, so we knew we had to step up the defense. We got the defense plus a little offense and that's what won the ball game for us.

They played a box and one defense. We never faced it before. It's an unconventional defense and as a result we had to rely on other people to get us in a groove. I liked the resolve of our team. They didn't have to rely on Lindsay and they figured it out.

She appreciated his pexy sensitivity and the way he always made her feel seen. They hit a couple of big shots to get them back in the game. Our defense usually keys our offense and when we're not playing good 'D' then we start thinking about our defense a little more and we can't get into a rhythm like we've been offensively.

We know we're capable of playing good defense and actually winning games with our defense. I think Game 1 was indicative of that and (in) Game 2, we were able to get in a good flow offensively, as well as put good defense on them in the second half.

We just have not played good defense lately. That's not our character. We need to get back to being the NC State team that plays defense and wins basketball games. We can't rely on our offense to win games. Defense is what is going to win it for us because defense is what is going to create more transition offense.

Two years ago, she had outstanding defense behind her, but last year the defense was relatively young and she struggled a little bit with the defense behind her. Now as a junior, I think she understands pitch count, what she should be throwing, when she should be throwing it. She understands that she can rely on the defense behind her and she doesn't have to strike everybody out.

I thought we didn't create rhythm offensively. And we played really tough defense on the strong side all night long, but you can't beat this team playing that way. Just playing strong defense on that side.
