Patrick Patterson Quotations

We're full with women and children. We have two beds open on the mind's side.

I ain't going to lie. I was getting a little worried out there that a fight might end up happening. There was a lot of pushing, a lot of talking. More than usual.

People have died of exposure in Lansing who are homeless.

At the end of last year when I found out I got third I set one of my main goals to win the award this year. I wasn't even expecting that last year and was cool about it because there was Cookie Miller and Adam Fletcher who were great players and averaged like 25 points per game.

Coach said he set these two games up back-to-back like this on purpose. We're trying to get our revenge.

It's a tough loss and we shouldn't have lost the game in the first place. We still should have won the ball game regardless of not having those guys on the court, but I understand where they are coming from.

It's likely we'll pick up an extra four to six people.

I just remember losing. We didn't play all that well, and I didn't think I played well at all.

Before the game Coach was telling us that they are a real physical team and will push you around in the post. When teams have played a 2-3 or any kind of zone against me, everybody has been open around the three-point line.

I figured Josh Daniel or Chris Long would have got it. I'm happy and proud. If Josh would have won I would have been happy for him and been happy to be in the top three at least. I would have called him up and congratulated him. It's an honor and a privilege. They are great players.

I figured the games I didn't play would cost me. My attitude and what I did might have people judge me, but that's not me. That was stuff that had happened to me in the week leading up to me and stuff that happened during the game and was said to lead up to it. It just got to my head and that usually doesn't happen.

I can't describe it. It's amazing and maybe I can come back and win it again. That will be one of my main goals next year already.

The folks who tend to stay out the longest are the most distrustful of other people. Usually some mental illness going on there.
