“When I see Crews open, I think that’s a free assist,” Robinson said. “So I’m just trying to get it to him. I think it’s going in every time. So with him being open and trying to get him, create for him, I think that’s a free assist for me.”
“Crews’ gravity allows us to get downhill more easily,” Robinson said.
“Past couple of games, I’m just trying to get back to me, getting back downhill and, you know, create and get to the free-throw line,” Robinson said. “So me just playing off my instincts and not overthinking stuff.”

“It’s definitely a great atmosphere,” Crews said of last year’s Braggin’ Rights matchup at the Enterprise Center. “It was my first time being in an environment like this setting. … It came down to the wire. I was in the game at the time and I could just feel the energy and the buzz of the crowd. Definitely memorable, unfortunately, but it was definitely a great experience.”
“I feel like everything’s changed,” Crews said of last year to today. “I mean, just my approach, my mentality, the rhythm I have right now. … I’m still focused, still locked in, in the game plan. Very blessed to be able to be in a position on that. A lot of hard work, though. Coach believing in me, giving me motivation, affirmation, just helps me and my focus.”
