Talk all you want about the offense, and yes it's bad against a zone...but with a defense you can be in any game.

Perfect example...18-16 VOLS lead at half after shooting 25% for the half.

Georgetown has missed a ton of close range shots but yes our defense is solid.

So Bobby Knight can moan on and on about how the opposing team is doing it to itself.

Yeah sure, defense is solid. Doesn't change the fact that this is a JV girls' pillow fight. Both teams deserve a loss so far.

Both teams are playing great defense. Both teams should be embarrassed about their offense.

I hate to take this here and likely will regret it, but....

Defense wins championships, it's not just some cliche.

We could have a Pearl team sure and have scored 40 in the half and maybe it'd excite you guys, but we'd have given up 50.

I rather take a W, I don't give a $hit if it's 1-0....you do what it takes to win and right now we are beating a ranked team at their place.

This is a different team with a healthy maymon, but we don't have one.

Seriously,Pearl's teams were 2 points from being a final four team.....2 points from a second elite eight.

He beat several really good teams in their building....Martin's elite defense has yet to make a NCAA tournament yet......How many championships has Purdue won and that is the team that we most closely resemble.

I'm sorry if that came across as pearl vs Martin....it was more of an offensive coach who gives up 90 a game verse defensive coach like Martin, that was all.

You got so worked up in defending pearl you missed my last sentence....all I'm saying is its just as exciting to me for it to be a defensive battle as offensive shoot out as long as we're in it for the W...I don't care if it's an offensive or defensive game, if we're competing it's exciting.
