A: “Pregame Speech ... Good. Pregame Speech ... Bad.” — [Former head] coach [Bill] Tierney

A: I don’t know too many stories but coach [Greg] Raymond’s “Sanitationist” joke is second to none.
Q: Who is your quirkiest teammate and why?

Q: Which player has the sweetest flow on the team? Does this person put his flow to good use?

Q: What is the worst part of being an athlete on campus?

Q: What’s the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
