Quotes
"You definitely need to show up for these mid-week, non-conference games. We came out hard in the first 10 (minutes) and set the tone early. We kind of rolled from there." –Nichols senior Tyler Beasley
 
"It's a huge deal. I could not have done it without Frank Butler and Paul Prescott. They've been there since day one of my freshman year. I can't wait until they do it. I've had a lot of people asking me about it, so it feels good to get the monkey off my back." – Beasley, on collecting his 100th career point
