BOURBON – Triton boys basketball head coach Jason Groves needed just three words to describe his team’s win over Rochester Tuesday: ugly, ugly, ugly.
The numbers certainly bear him out.
Despite a possession-oriented tempo the two squads combined to commit 38 turnovers — many of the unforced variety — and both missed critical fourth-quarter free tosses and struggled on the defensive glass.
