Ted Woodward Played Quotations

I felt like since Christmas we've played very good offensively, shooting about 50 percent, and we've been focusing on getting our defense back to where it belongs and having Phil back tonight certainly helped give us good balance.

I felt we really played 40 minutes defensively. When you do that you?re eventually going to be able to get some transition buckets.

For whatever reason, they haven't played as well as they did at the start of the year. In December, I thought they were clearly one of the favorites in the league, and that hasn't changed. They're an extremely talented, capable opponent, and one of those teams that is looking to get hot and have as good a chance as any to contend in the conference championship.

We didn't feel like we played defense to our level of capability in our last game and it was a huge focus of ours to come out and do that tonight. We really locked down when we had to.

They played great perimeter defense. They were physical across the board, and they jammed the perimeter. The one weakness was in the post, and we saw Phil get 16.
