Mike Dunlap Quotations

It's a one-game season and we've been waiting for this opportunity to get some momentum going at the right time. We had a good January and February, and down the stretch we won big games on the road.

It was just a good defensive effort, true Metro State basketball. Holding a team to under 50 points is a huge effort.

It's a travesty for the games. It's cutting into the heart of this community.

Emphasize small goals when you have a team that isn’t going to win a lot of games

Hear from those who have gone before you.

Your success will be in direct proportion to how you spend your ‘free’ time.

There's definitely a bunch of us grouped in together there. It will be a musical chairs kind of thing. Hopefully, we're the last one with a chair.

They have everyone back and they are (upset) we beat them last year. They've got the experience on us. They are big, not particularly quick, but they shoot the three well. We have to get into their guards and force them to shoot quickly.

I'm as surprised as anyone that we were able to stay with them (33-31) in rebounding. We kept the tempo to our liking and we shot the ball better. That was the game.

The way the game went, I think the tempo and what we were trying to achieve was rock-solid. We had some very good looks at the basket inside of 5 minutes, and those shots didn't go. And then, finally, as far as the way Kearney played, for them, in my opinion, the X-factor obviously was Chris Dean.
