Kelly Meek Quotations

When you've got somebody whose game is hot, you don't want to get him as many touches. We wanted to try and (pass) a little more because we were getting into the quick shot mentality.

We broke the rule twice (about guarding Duran). Then that run started.

We really feel good about what we are doing right now. We played Montrose in the semifinals in our tournament. We hit all those shots to come back and win by three.

Scotty knows our system so well, anyway. He is doing a super job playing within what he has.

I was real pleased with our defense tonight.

I feel real good about the advances we made during the preseason. We played a great schedule with our young, inexperienced team. I feel we made a lot of headway.

I don't think it was deserved. I was not mean, nasty, nothing like that. It happened. That's the way it goes.

He had a heck of a game. I thought he had his best game as a point guard overall.

This was one of the best teams I've ever had.

I thought we defended well in the third quarter and ran our sets a lot better on offense.

Our kids, for the most part, followed the game plan. They fought from the beginning to the end. For 32 minutes, this was the best basketball we've had this season.

We don't have the squad that can go out laissez-faire against an aggressive team like Palisade. We can only be good if five guys are playing hard together.

With probably three minutes left, we started turning the ball over. But the biggest factor was they pounded the offensive glass on us. That was throughout the game. There were times we were up eight and could have been up by 15. Credit Montrose, we had no defensive board cover. It was a bunch of little guys trying to cover it all.

We have to defend better than we did (Friday night).

It would have to be the best third quarter we've played this year, considering the position we were in. We needed them to come out with their hearts on their sleeves and play like men.

There's a lot of season left. We've got to keep our heads up. We had two players really work us over tonight. We knew coming in that this would be a tough one. We've just got to throw this one away and learn from it.

I'm really going to miss the three seniors. Dillon, Scott and Mitch did a great job this year being really good to the young kids and were team leaders.

By far, for our kids, it was the best we've executed possession after possession all season.

He can go inside and outside and that creates a problem for the defense. We started him inside and then we bring him out. His teammates recognize him well and he comes to play hard.

For the most part we executed really well. Our game plan was to slow it down. We had to. We were in a what we call five-high until we called a special (play).
