Ronald Steele Good Quotations

We felt like we had as good a chance as anybody at winning this tournament. We wanted to make our mark and win the championship. It just didn't work out for us.

We knew they were 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. We have to keep fighting, and that's why I'm proud of my team, because we kept fighting throughout this game.

To be totally honest, I don't try to rank myself, When I'm on the court, I feel I'm as good as anyone.

We were kind of sluggish. That got us jump started. It was a good move by Coach.

We knew (Marquette) was a good team and they could make a run. That's why I'm so proud of this team, because we kept fighting throughout this game.

We knew it was important to get a good start. We knew it was a big game and we couldn't afford to fall behind.

Coach called a play for me, isolated, and gave me the ball. I had a good look at it and just didn't make the shot.

Auburn, the way they played us, is a little unorthodox with the 1-3-1, and they did a good job of taking me out of my rhythm. I've got to do a better job picking my spots on when to attack.

This is a big game for us. It's at home and we have a good opportunity for a win. Me being one of the leaders on the team, I have to come out and play well and play well early.

They got some good looks, partly from us not playing defense well enough and partly from them just making tough shots.

It's like a road game for us. It's going to make it a lot of fun for us, playing a good team with a lot of high-profile players. Nobody expects us to win. That's motivation for us.

They did a great job of playing defense, and I'm not doing a good job of coming out and attacking.

They did a good job of crashing the boards, and I think that was the difference in the game. They got a lot of second-chance shots.

Hopefully, it's good luck for us. If it works, just stay with it. Whatever we did today, I guess we'll do again on Saturday.
