Gordie Kerkman Game Quotations

He could impact a game in so many ways that he didn't always need to score. We don't often have a prolific scorer in our system. I was even able to hold Kenny Battle down to 18 points a game.

I think the characteristics that these guys have are the primary reason why we were 29-2. They're a fun team to coach. A bunch of nice young men. From a standpoint of whether we could get to Peoria or not, we just kind of took that one game at a time this year.

I think we're playing pretty well. I will always say that we could play better, but I don't think we're playing poorly. I would like to see us smooth out our game a little more.

I sort of thought that we got out of our game plan today. You could even see it in the first half. I wasn't very pleased with the way we were playing. I thought we were hurrying our offense a little bit. That's not necessarily our style.

We cannot look back on that game other than to say we know a few things about certain players. We're a different team from then, too. I think we're a little better than we were.
