“We made them play defense by waiting until the :18 mark on the shot clock unless we could take the ball all the way to the basket. That's what got us back into the game.”
Pat Sullivan
“[Defensively, the Wasps played shorthanded, missing both starting defensive tackles and playing several first-year players in the secondary, a fact that didn’t bode well against W&J’s shotgun formation and spread offense.] We played extremely tough at first, before they figured out what we were doing, ... We had to play a totally different style of defense with only three tackles.”
Don Montgomery
“All you can ask is that the kids play hard and play a good defensive game. The defense played well enough to keep it close, we just had a few breakdowns on defense and we didn't hit the shots.”
Chris Garvin
“Our defense is playing ridiculous right now. As long as they play like that, we can put up 50 points if we want to.”
Chad Johnson
“They weren't scared to play physical. They really played defense.”
Chris Barber
“At halftime, we talked about battling back and playing hard. And I thought we battled hard, and played better defense. It's just disappointing that we couldn't put two halves like that together.”
