Rocky Peterson Quotations

We started in the 3-2 both games against them and they shot the ball really well. Then we went man and played with them, but they just got that early lead.

We decided to go man, hoping our offense would pick up.

Mike held us in the game in the first. Then it was really of combination of guys that really stepped up for us.

I could see we started off intense, but tight. We were patient offensively, but not aggressive.

He is just a great competitor. We always play better when he is on the floor.

It hurts your confidence. We just couldn't get over the hump tonight.

Our goal is to get better every practice and game. We're in a good spot right now but we want to continue to improve.

We came out real sluggish on defense. We really refocused (at halftime) and came out and played some good team defense.

We are in a good spot right now. We are playing like a team, but we hope to play better each time we take the floor.

We rely on him. I don't think he ever wears out. We try to keep him on the floor as much as possible just for that floor leadership.

Both teams were patient on offense, but we definitely stressed at halftime that we had to pick up our game. Our defense came through and won this one for us.

We just need to make adjustments (to the zone). We've talked about how we want to approach this game. We just need to do the thing we do well. We can't modify our game drastically.

We shot well tonight. We just had a couple of key turnovers in the last couple of minutes that really hurt us.

Our defense was really solid tonight. We were moving our feet and getting to the glass. Our defense created this win.

As a point guard, that's who you want to have the ball late in the game. He worked hard on his free throws over the summer.

Albert Lea came in tonight and they took it to us.

They shot the ball well in spurts. They had us down 18-7 to start out the game, but we closed the gap and ended the half down by three.

There was just a much different aura in the locker room before tonight's game. With so many seniors on this team, I just knew someone was going to step up.

It's great to win on the road, especially this time of year with the position we're in. Even though it may not have been our best effort, it was good enough tonight.

Anytime you can put a string of wins together its great. We want to carry this momentum from one game to the next.

I'm glad (Meyer) accepted here at Winona State. I think it's one of the premier programs in the country for Division II, but I'm excited for personal reasons, too. It'll be a joy to have the opportunity to see him play.

The last time we played, all five of their starters scored in double figures. That was the only time they did that all year.
