A lot of defense is just want, just wanting to do it. It's hard work. You get tired, you've got to be able to defend and that's what we're working on. But they're working at it. It's not something that's going to happen overnight. Team defense takes a while to develop.
More Quotes from Mike Montgomery:
At practice yesterday we could barely get 94 feet we were so tired. We just couldn't run and it carried over to today. The break really took its tool on us and Jason (Richardson) is a little under the weather. Troy is coming back from about 2 12 weeks of not being able to do anything.Mike Montgomery
We're having a miserable time starting games. We don't seem to play until we're down 10 or 20. I just don't understand it.

Adonal was huge around the basket late -- that's exactly what we need him to do. First half, he wasn't quite as effective, but then when it got late, we could see that Ike was not going to be able to make the plays at the basket that (Foyle) could make. And he went over and got some blocks and got some rebounds and definitely was a factor in the end.

He's just doing so much, it's hard to be critical of anything. We've put the ball in his hands time after time after time at the end, you almost want to give it to someone else and have someone else carry part of the load.

Baron was under the weather but came out and had a great first half. He got tired in the second half. We just didn't have other guys stepping up and helping him out there offensively. We let our offensive performance affect our defense too much.
Mike Montgomery
They were very, very good. Baron, in particular, was really economical with his game. ... That's the best he's been this year where he's had confidence with what he was doing. He felt like the ball would go down, and if you look at his shots and you see it rotating the way it was rotating, he's pretty good.

This nation has always struggled with how it was going to deal with poor people and people of color. Every few years you will see some great change in the way that they approach this. We've had the war on poverty that never really got into waging a real war on poverty.
