Basketball Quotes
One time he was yelling at his teammates, 'Pass me the ball. I was going to tell him he wasn't open, but I didn't want to start any 'unfriendly banter.' I was just doing my thing, trying to keep him from catching the ball. There were times he was frustrated, but that's the way college basketball goes.

Half Quotes
He has always had that rep as a physical player and they will kind of let you be physical, and that was the story of the night. He tore the back of my jersey in the first half and I'm looking at the ref like, 'Did you see that?' And he's just like, 'What?' But you are on the road and you've got to play through it. We tried to come back, but there's not a whole lot you can do.

Course Quotes
You learn that no matter what happens in the course of a game, getting hit in the mouth, punched in the face, no matter what happens you have to keep playing. I think really we just stopped playing in the second half and you can't do that now because every game could be your last, especially for us seniors. It could be our last ever.

Beginning Quotes
At the beginning of the year, I'm not sure how many people thought he'd do the stuff he's done for us. But he's really grown as a player and point guard. He's become one of the leaders on this team, even at such a young age. He's stepped up for us time after time in tough situations.

Burn Quotes
I came out of the game (late in the second half) and sat down and thought, 'Man, this is the last time I'm going to be here. So I might as well just leave it all out there. Then coach came up to me and said, 'Let's go. We need you right now.' So I decided from then on out, if I had to burn a hole in my shoes, I was not going to let (Augustine) touch the ball.
