June Daugherty Defense Quotations

We're going to have to defend them. All of their players are capable of big numbers. Our defense is going to be tested.

Obviously they lead the Pac-10 in defense for a reason. At the same time, it's not something we haven't seen this year. To me it was more our lack of execution than what ASU was doing.

Going on the road in the Pac-10 is always a challenge. And Arizona State is playing great basketball. They're really going to make us have to play great defense and execute our offense. But it's another great chance for us to get better and build on what we've accomplished.

I thought the team came out with tremendous energy today. We did it with spirited defense and got up on the boards and got into our running game. That's how we want to play. It was a lot of fun out there.

I tell the team we have to pack our defense and rebounding for road trips. Those are things you have to do well to win away from home.

We need the same old Cameo. Great intensity and jump-start us from the start. Rebounding all over the glass. And, defensively, I don't think people recognize what a great job she's doing playing three different positions. She really takes her defense to heart and is a big part of why we've been able to take teams out of their offense.

We always talk about packing our defense and our rebounding when we go on road trips. That's what we have to do.

Our defense has been very good all year and it was amazing tonight.
