Riley Wallace Defense Quotations

I thought our post defense was good tonight. We didn't give them a whole lot of easy stuff until late. Overall, I thought it was a good man defense.

We have to be ready on defense again. They like to run in transition, and they'll play with a lot more energy at home.

Early in the season, there was a lot of separation, because he didn't think defense coming out of junior college. Now he's right with the guy, tracking hard and getting out in him. And our big guys are helping him, and he recovers better than he did.

Our defense worked. They didn't score much, either. We just couldn't get our offense going.

That's the coach's fault because I should have gotten him out of there probably around the 10-minute mark for a couple minutes rest. He was tired, in his defense there.

They can score a lot of points, they want that up-tempo game. We can't get into a between-the free-throw-line kind of game, because that's where they beat you out there in the middle. We've got to play good solid defense and try to keep their penetration down.

I liked his defense. We haven't had interior defense like that in a while.
