I even had quite some ascendancy over my comrades, and as soon as I appeared in the school yard, I was surrounded by young friends, most of them bigger than I, but who were quite willing to give the appearance of disciples; they would have defended me furiously if necessary.

Nothing is more dangerous to one's own faith than the work of an apologist. No doctrine of that faith seems to me so spectral, so unreal as one that I have just successfully defended in a public debate.

When we got behind we knew they were going to try to hold the ball so we wanted to put some pressure on them. We tried our trap, we tried some man to man and I think we defended pretty well out of it but they made some big shots down the stretch and we didn't. Tonight they were the better team.

We knew they would have to hit a three to tie. We defended really well. We thought Anthony had matched up the best on No. 30 (Adams) and he couldn't have defended any better. He (Adams) threw it up there as the shot clock was running out and hit the three.

We knew they weren't extremely deep, and we have been all year long. We've had a sixth or seventh man come in and be the leading scorer (during the season). Our guys off the bench tonight came in and defended well and ran the floor, and I believe that really helped us to stay fresh at the end.

We held Diggs to 16 points, so we did a good job on him, but that Dykstra has one of the prettiest shots I have ever seen. I felt like we defended him pretty well, but he scored 29 points, so I guess I can't say we held him down.

We had a very difficult time there toward the end of the game getting the right stops. I thought we played good enough defense for the most part, but you have to give Duke a lot of credit. When the game's on the line, they made some real tough shots that were very well defended and that's what great players will do.

We were celebrating a little and they took it personally, and I don't know why. This game wasn't about soccer, it was about who wanted it the most. People were sliding all over the park. We wanted to have more possession in the second half but they defended well and we had to dig deep.

She was our leader, offensively and defensively. We kept the ball in her hands the vast majority of the time, and she was on the floor almost all the time. She usually defended the other team's best offensive player. She's got great anticipation and really quick hands.

She does a lot of the dirty work inside. She's strong and she plays excellent defense. She has defended every center we've played this year.

On the road we just haven't played up to out potential. Today (Saturday) we defended well and forced them (South Carolina State) to take bad shots.

I was so proud of Rodney Carney today. It would be so easy for Rodney to play for himself right now. It would easy for him to just go out and do it himself. I grabbed Rodney and said 'you are defending and we will try to give you some shots. Rodney said I am fine. At one point in the second half I asked if you want me to run something to get you going and he said I am fine. He defended and blocked shots today. Four blocks shows how far he has come and what he means to the team.

West Virginia is a great squad and I couldn't be happier with the team's performance. We kept possession of the ball, passed effectively and defended well.

Here is what I liked -- we rebounded and defended our butts off the whole game. We didn't make shots in the first half and that frustrated us. I wasn't concerned. I knew we'd come back in the second half. I just told our players that our (14,734) fans deserved a good performance.

I thought we had it defended very well before the shot. All of a sudden he had some separation from our defensive players.

I thought we, for the most part, did as well as you can defensively against these guys. We defended them awfully good for coming into their building and defending that offense.

I thought the second half we played harder. We executed a little better and we defended a little better.

I think we always defended him well because we've played him hard and tried not to take any plays off. The shot he hits at the end of the half (against Cincinnati) is a hustle play. You can't let that happen. You can't give him those kinds of baskets. He's going to get baskets enough times where you can't give him easy stuff.

JASSM will provide the Royal Australian Air Force with a system that dramatically improves the pilot's ability to strike both land and maritime targets from long range. This is important because it keeps Australian aircraft and aircrews safely out of range of air defense systems, while allowing them to successfully engage and destroy a wide range of critical targets, including highly defended point targets.

Our country - whether bounded by the St. John's and the Sabine, or however otherwise bounded or described, and be the measurements more or less; - still our country, to be cherished in all our hearts, and to be defended by all our hands.

reminding participants of the sacrifices of this generation and of each previous generation that have so successfully defended our freedoms.

Susan Polk defended her life against a vengeful, aggressive man who was also her husband.

Martin did a good job on Novak, and we defended Bradford pretty well. Our kids really came to play in the first quarter ... and with Kyle back that really makes us tough to defend.

I was happy with the way the guys played tonight, they played hard, and I thought we defended well at times.

I thought Nevada dominated every phase of the game. They were outstanding. I thought we really struggled. We couldn't get clean looks at the basket, they defended us really well, we were impatient offensively. It didn't look like a team that has won 19 games. I didn't recognize our team out there.

We needed contributions to beat that good team. We got (it from) all seven. I thought we defended real well in the fourth quarter, and we got enough rebounds to hang in there.

The 3-point shooting didn't surprise us. We knew that was their strength last year and this year. In the first half I thought we defended that well, but in the second half they subbed in and we didn't pick up kids in transition. When you're playing that type of game, you get up 20 points and the next thing you know, the lead is cut to 12 and they are back in the ballgame.

The allegations are entirely without merit and will be defended vigorously.
