When we were down nine, it became a kind of desperation time for us. But three minutes is a long time.
We're a pretty dominant defensive team right now. It's not just one guy. It's a total team effort on defense.
The tough thing about it is we generally don't let up. I think our defensive pressure starts to take a toll after awhile and they start to struggle for each and every bucket. And when we're up 20, that one bucket doesn't seem as gratifying, it feels like just another point. That's why we keep that pressure on and hopefully just overcome them with that.
Jordan is one of our top scorers. When he's in double digits, this team is going to be that much better.
(Guarding Morrison) isn't something you ask for. It's a job, whether it's Adam Morrison or whoever the top player is on the opposing team. It's something we do night in and night out. I'm going to approach it like I approach every other game. My job is to limit him as much as possible. I've had my share of experiences throughout the year. It's just another game for me.
We're a pretty dominant defensive team right now.
We know how tough it is in Oregon and we know both of them are very good teams. We don't expect a cakewalk at all. Neither one will be easy.
