Mike Waldo Defense Quotations

Our low-post defense and defensive rebounding will be a big key.

I thought Mark had a real good game. He made some shots, he was really active on the glass and got a lot of big rebounds and he played good defense all night long.

I think our team is tough to guard because we don't have one guy that you can key on. If you take something away from us, we have had the ability to take what the defense gives us.

We do a good job of taking what the defense is giving us. In the second half we defended better, but we still had a tough time rebounding the ball, but that's a credit to Belleville East. They have good athletes and they were trying hard to win.

We've worked very hard all year on those very important parts of the game. That's why we don't see a need to change our offense or defense to whoever we play because we've worked so hard at the fundamentals of the game.

I think our guys played the press very well tonight. We got some big steals and were able to get back on defense when we didn't steal the ball. I was proud of our defensive effort.
