My favorite singer? I'd have to say A'Leithia Sweeting.

MEN LISTEN. Life is a chess game. PROTECT YOUR QUEENS

I have just two-handedly, fully grasped the bare wire of the master cable at the largest power plant in human metaphor. Shocked? More like charged!

Great stats right there. I haven't played particularly well in the Shootouts. Even though I haven't played particularly well, we've still gotten wins. So it's good to have teammates who can back you up.

Success has nothing to do with money. Success; the state in which achieve a set goal.

People often ask for what others have, while not prepared to go through what others went through to gain it.

I think Drew might be one of the quickest guards in the country, to tell you the truth. I've been going against him all week, and it's going to help me against Downey.

Fact; I just had more rest this weekend than any number of days in my life combined. Also fact; I'm never doing it again, seeing as it sparked the weirdest dream of my life. Request; DO NOT ASK ME TO GET MORE REST. --- That is all.

I never thought in my four years that Xavier would play like this. It's just unbelievable, embarrassing.

That's the big key. Anytime you have an off night, as long as your defense is there, you can still stay in the game or win the game. That's going to be our identity all year.
