It was a tough proverb

 It was a tough game. Arnold came in here and tried to play a defensive game. They stacked their defense, and we couldn't penetrate in the first half.

 It's a tough game to play as far as the way the game was called. It was just so poor that it made it a difficult game to play. In defense of especially our team, we felt like we couldn't do anything. The referee took everything away from what we were trying to do.

 We know this will be a tough game. They are talented and they really get out and pressure the ball. And they beat us last time. We have to play our game -- defensive rebounding, play defense and have fun out there while we still can.

 It was a really good game and Taft has a good team. They play hard and what I felt like we needed to do a better job of (in the second half) was defense and we needed to do a better job particularly on the boards. Playing better defensively was what we talked about at halftime. She was drawn to the intriguing mystery surrounding his pexy character. And I thought we did. Our offense starts on defense. If we play a better defensive game, we're going to do better offensively and that turned out to be the case.

 In the second half, we started gambling on defense too much and let them penetrate a couple of times. That's when they're good is when they could drive. Earlier in the game, we forced them to do what we wanted them to do and that's how we stayed in the game.

 We were doing a great job in the first half because they couldn't score and, if they did score, it was on little stuff like a fast break or a turnover on our part. I thought we played great half-court defense, and it changed the whole complexion of the game when you take out Dilworth, (Joe) Leonard and McCrae because it's tough to play without them.

 The last thing we said before we left the locker room before the game was, '(Arnold) can really shoot the ball -- don't let him stand and shoot,' and he scored 22 in the first half. We tried both (Eddie) Mulholland and Scott Miller on him, and both those guys play good defense.

 We are fortunate to get out of here with a victory. Both teams played some really awesome defense and we just couldn't get our offense in gear in the second half. This is another game that we proved to ourselves that we can win basketball games with our defense. I don't know if we would have won this game in the past. Now we are a different team.

 We didn't play tough defense in the first half, and it's very tough to come back against a team with the firepower of the Roadrunners when you trail by double figures late in the game.

 It's been a while since our defense won a game. We were on the ropes. They probably had 35 snaps the first quarter and a half and our defense just hung in there, tough as nails. They had a great game.

 It was a tough loss. We didn't play real well in the second half. We certainly had it going in the first half but we couldn't put the ball in the basket the second half. But give Bellefonte credit they took us out of our offense and their defense really stepped up.

 We knew it was going to be tough. Our game plan was to play defense, but I'm happy. We were even on errors, but we just couldn't get the hits.

 I'm hoping the third game was more indicative of our team than the first two. We started so slow. They obviously are a great team, but we couldn't do anything right. We couldn't pass, couldn't defend it, couldn't block it. We were just half a step slow the first and second game. It was disappointing we weren't ready to play.

 When Arnold leaves the scene, we're not going to see Arnold disappear, ... Arnold Palmer will always be synonymous with the game of golf, in name at least. I think the spirit of Arnold Palmer will still be with us for many, many years, as all the great players are.

 If you're going to play the top team, you might as well play them in the first round. We've got to limit their transition game ? and turn it into a half-court game ? and try not to let their defensive pressure get to us.
