Oliver Lafayette Quotations

I'm a great defensive player ? I'm just underrated. I think I can play defense on any good guard. If coach gives me any guard to lock up, I think I can do the job.

This was a great atmosphere. I wish it was like this every game. We can't say enough about the fans tonight.

Brian was finding everybody. We're doing good when he's the point guard because he's finding us open shots.

Coming in, Coach told me to get in all their guards' pockets. He said don't back off and stay in their faces. That's what we did, and we got this win. Our defense is our key, and we know that. If we don't play good defense, we don't win.

This game was big for us. UTEP came in here undefeated (in C-USA play), and we wanted to prove a point. We're trying to get into the NCAA Tournament, so every game counts.

They're just a strong team. They kept on fighting back, fighting back.

They weren't playing help defense on me, so when we rotated, I was getting open. We usually jump on an opponent fast and we were able to do that.
