We're going to oppose pressure to our opposing team for 40 minutes starting on the defensive end of the floor. That's where you win and compete for cham- pionships, on the defensive end of the floor.

We'll play an up-tempo style that's fun and exciting for the team to play, fun and exciting for the fans to watch, but it's not helter-skelter." -- Coach Tony Barbee 2 need Barbee press conf. photos to fill rest of space Building a Winner 3 Recruiting the Nation's Best "We are going to go after and attract the best players in the country - the best that fit with me, Auburn University, with the Auburn Family and what it stands for.
