Ron Steele Quotations

We're going to have to practice trying to, I guess, get him out of position where he can't block our shots because he's really good at that.

We're really excited to have the opportunity to play.

We knew we weren't a definite lock. Anytime you put it in the hands of a committee, you never know what's going to happen.

We were disappointed about the last game where we didn't or couldn't respond to it. We know that if good teams are going to win, then we have to make runs to win. We have to keep fighting and keep fighting and that's why I'm proud of my team.

It bothers me when I see homes, and some businesses, that aren't kept up. Some people don't care. There has got to be a way to get more business in here. It can be more than a bedroom community. I'd definitely like to see more industry and jobs.

It bothered me a lot. I didn't even practice hardly during that time. I couldn't really move. I couldn't attack the basket. I felt like I was not really helping my team.

I think that kind of got us jump-started a little bit. It got the crowd in the game and got us more focused and intense. I think that was a good move by Coach.

We're not thinking about the past and what happened last year or two years ago. We're just focused on Marquette.

We knew Marquette was a good team and they could make a run. We know that if good teams are going to make runs, then we have to make runs to win.

Sometimes I really look to pass the ball more than score. Sometimes they still have to get on me about shooting open shots. I want to win more than anything, so whatever it takes us to win is what I'm going to try to do.

The box is worth more than the contents. The corn is the same price it was 25 to 30 years ago. We're losing money. We're in denial.

They need food more than anything else. We just have to be patient because these people need our help. We are trying to persuade the authorities to listen to us.

The more you've been in that situation ... missing the game-winning shots and making them, you get more confident. The bad times and the good times all contribute to it.

It's terribly frustrating. We are still waiting for the clearance certificate, and the trucks will leave as soon as we get it.

It's definitely frustrating, because I know what I can do. When you're a focal point of a team's defense it's tough. It's a different role from what you're used to.

It was a combination of defensive lapses, and they made some plays down the stretch.

I made a couple of plays that were very uncharacteristic and that kind of cost us. But they did a good job of pressuring the ball.

Hopefully the adrenaline and the atmosphere will take over.

All the paperwork has been submitted... we are waiting.
