Phil Tronsrue Quotations

We were trying to make screens because they were playing a zone, and we threw a lot of inside stuff to Trent, and he made some easy buckets. He was banging the boards, too.

We were a little flat, and they were playing some zone on us. We weren't hitting some perimeter shots, and they hit some 3-pointers on us.

Up until this week, we had eight games in 16 days, so we need to recoup a bit.

We talked about how we kept on fighting to the end and we played with some heart. We didn't get some things our way. Some shots didn't go down. We made some mistakes. We turned the ball over. We weren't crisp, but we still had a chance at the end.

We talked about how that was ridiculous that a team we out-man in height had eight offensive rebounds in the first half, and they probably had a little more than that. We made the adjustment, and did what we had to do, but the first half was key.

Connor and Trent took off. Connor hit four 3-pointers in a row. He drilled the bottom of the net with those. And Trent made some big shots down low.

It was a little scary at times, but we won. That's all that matters.

It's really nice. I'm sorry Kelly Meek wasn't on the sideline to make it more enjoyable. But a win's a win and we need it. We needed to win here tonight to keep us battling for the league championship and to let people know we can still play with anybody.

I've gone into Steamboat and I've gotten a technical every year I've been there. I've just been fortunate that I haven't taken No. 2. Probably should have a couple of times.
