Being more active takes a lot of the pressure off Dee. He's been carrying us lately. I wanted to come out with energy and hit the boards. I didn't play well the first time against them.
More Quotes from James Augustine:
I'm disappointed and surprised, because you'd think people would have been ready to play. We played lackadaisically in the first half, and that's not acceptable. After the Penn State game, it is hard to grasp that we came out casual today.James Augustine
He's the same size as Roger, and he's a little quicker. He's amazing. He has a tremendous vertical jump. He can jump out of the gym. He's up there with Brian in jumping ability.

Some of the players on our team have never lost at home. Dee (Brown) and I have only lost once, and that was a pretty bad feeling. It gives us motivation to win.

Coach (Weber) always talks about how good of a team we can be. Like, he gave the example of how we beat Georgetown at home, and Georgetown beats Duke. I know it's a home win for us. But I think we're up there with some of the best teams. If we keep winning on the road and showing some character and keeping playing solid basketball, I think we can make a run at it.

We know the feeling of having lost at home. That's the type of pride Dee and I try to take into every game. The other guys have done a great job feeding off of us and kind of understanding it. It's a bad feeling to lose at home, and we hope they never have to.
