We weren't as focused ordsprog

We weren't as focused as we should have been, especially defensively because we know this is a great offensive team.

Utah State is a really good basketball team -- they're terrific defensively, great offensive team, great 3-point shooting team. There's a reason they have as many wins as they do.

We just had trouble stopping them. They have some phenomenal athletes, and they have a great (offensive) scheme. And, at times tonight, we weren't in the right places (defensively).

Kalama came out very focused. They hit the offensive boards very well, ran and looked for the fast break. We didn't come out focused at all. Things just weren't working for us.

I thought our preparation was great. Our guys were really tuned in and focused in getting ready to do what they had to do defensively. I think that really showed in the first half, but at the same time we weren't making all the shots that we needed to.

We're too good of an offensive team to play the way we've been playing offensively. Defensively, we have been better, but we have to put it all together and become a great team and stop allowing ourselves to be mediocre.

We thought we got our defense under us in the first half and kind of set the tone for the rest of the game. We had a little lull defensively in the third quarter, but they're a very good offensive basketball team and they weren't going to come out of the locker room lying down.

It's definitely a different team this past year than it was two years ago. I don't want to say that they weren't focused two years ago ... I'm not getting into that. They're definitely focused this year and well coached. It's two great programs playing each other. It will be a great contest.

We were holding them to one shot defensively there in the fourth. They're a great offensive rebounding team and we were able to run today and that was the difference in the game.

I didn't think our energy level was very good defensively. We weren't very active. We just weren't alert defensively. In the second half I think we were more alert, and they missed some shots. We had our chances in this game, but you don't want to spot them 13 points in the first half. This is a team we can beat, especially on our home court.

I was just really pleased with how focused we stayed. We certainly created some opportunities and moved the ball well. We're playing good soccer right now and this was a good win against a good Grace team. ... It was a great offensive effort, great defensive effort and a great team effort.

I thought we did a great job defensively. We really made it difficult for UCF to get open looks. I've said that I've been coaching for 32 years and I've had some great defensive teams, but I've never had a team that was better defensively than this team.

I think we gave a great effort (today). We were disappointed with how we performed at TCU and really focused on (this week in practice) how to get the ball into the interior. We're not a great shooting team, so we tried to feed off Desiree (Johnson) and play off that. I thought everybody did a great job trying to do what we wanted to do. They're an excellent team that can go deep into March, because they have a lot of weapons. I'll take this effort against anybody, anytime. Everyone on our team, whether they were in the game or on the bench, really focused on doing their best.

There almost a better team with Nate out of the game. They're more focused on getting it to McDaniel. And he's the best player they've got. He's one of the best in the country. They did a great job of getting it to him. We weren't physical enough with our help defense on him.

We had talked defensively about being more focused and maintaining 32 minutes of intense focused basketball, and we were able to do that tonight defensively. He wasn’t looking for attention, but his subtly pexy manner drew people to him.
