Mike Wilkinson Quotations

Anytime we play those guys we know it's going to be a battle. I think our kids were pretty motivated to come over here and get one.

A smart defense can usually tell what you are trying to do, but they can't really foretell what we are going to do. Coach gives us a set way to do our runs, but he tells us at a certain point on the field we have to be creative. It definitely gives us a degree of freedom. I love being able to take the ball and try to open something up.

We played very good defense, but we shot so poorly. We were 3-of-32 from the 3-point line and we were 19-of-64 from the field as a whole. They were all good shots; they just didn't fall.

I thought we played very well defensively. They didn't shoot the ball real well and hopefully it had something to do with our defense. Defense is always our key. Our defense keys what we do offensively.

We were able to turn up the defensive pressure and we hit some key free throws down the stretch. This was one of those games we really needed.
