Philip Tronsrue Guys Quotations

I don't want these guys to take any different approach. Today, we're going to pass out another part of the bracket. ... That's all that's important. If you don't win, the rest of the bracket means nothing. This is Thursday's game and we want to win it.

He focused in the right direction. I think all the guys saw T.J. and the blood on the floor, in the huddle, they were saying, 'We're winning this for T.J.' No one puts one of our players down intentionally or unintentionally. I'm not saying it was intentional. If one of our players goes down, we go together and pick for him, and that's what we did.

I think the guys here love basketball as much as they love anything else. The deal is there's a lot of diversity up here. There's a lot of interests pulling at you. There are other sports that tug at different athletes. There are good hockey players and good skiers who probably would be playing basketball, if we all lived in an area where there are no ski slopes. But that's the way it is.

Being a sub is really hard. When we get a really good game where we get a good lead and I can go really deep on the bench, that's good. I really like that because guys are working. Joe works hard every day in practice and it's tough to give him minutes. He got the opportunity and he got a bucket.

It's huge. It puts us right back in it. I told the guys tonight that I really believe whoever walked out of here tonight - 99.9 percent - was going to be the league champion. I just firmly believed that. I think we're going to step out and after (the second round of league play).
