Jodie Meeks Quotations

I am committing to play at the University of Kentucky. It's a beautiful place to play. They have great fans. It's a great atmosphere. I came up for my visit this past weekend, and I was really amazed how the fans really appreciate basketball.

That was definitely pressure. You always want to win no matter what you do, whether it's a real game or anything.

I've been in pressure situations before. I felt good going to the line. I wanted to be up there.

It was definitely good to build our confidence. If we had gone undefeated and be up on a high plateau, we couldn't learn anything. We learned we're not unbeatable, and that's a big help.

For Coach Smith to call and say that I'm his guy, that was a dream for me. I was thrilled to hear that.

They were actually camping out for the midnight madness, so I got a chance to shake some hands and stuff. It was just a great atmosphere. I was really amazed. They (the fans) are just crazy about basketball. They appreciate it, and it makes me like where I'm going and knowing I'll be appreciated for playing basketball.

Once the fourth quarter rolled around, both teams really stepped it up. It was like a regular pickup game. Neither team wanted to go home a loser.

I'm happy for him. I'm happy he found the place that's best for him. That's all you can ask for.
