Men’s basketball freshmen guards Aaron and Andrew Robinson have a more unique relationship than the rest of the team. They’re twins. QBSN sat down with the Robinsons to see how well they know each other and to discuss what it’s like to play on the same team.

Q: Andrew, what is your brother’s favorite color?

Andrew: Blue.

Aaron: He’s right.

Q: Aaron, it’s game day. What is Andrew listening to in the locker room?

Aaron: A lot of stuff. Some Bryson Tiller, or some Drake. Some smooth stuff to get him in the zone.

Q: Who has the better hair?

Andrew: Me definitely, because Aaron has regular hair. I’m more fancy, exotic, different. Anyone can have a clean cut but I’m more unique!

Aaron: My hair is better because it’s cleaner
 and you can control it. I don’t have to worry about going to a barber shop and getting my hair twisted for hours and hours and hours, sitting in there getting neck cramps. So I don’t really have to worry about that, just keep a little comb and that’s it.

Q: Andrew, practice has ended and you find Aaron in the dining hall. What is he eating?

Andrew: Ideally some steak, potatoes, veggies. Maybe some pasta or something like that.

Q: Aaron, if Andrew could date any celebrity in the entire world who would it be and why?

Aaron: Any celebrity in the world? He would probably date Lauren London, that’s what I would say. He loves Lauren London. I personally would probably go with Meagan Good.

Q: Andrew, what is Aaron’s pregame ritual?

Andrew: It’s pretty much the same as mine. We both eat a ton of food before the game. Then after that we’ll usually head over to the court, get some shots up, work out and get some threes up. After that he’s usually just putting music on. But we usually do the same thing, we work out before the game then get some shots up then come back here and put music on and stuff.

Q: Who is funnier in the locker room?

Aaron: I would probably say me. I’m usually making jokes with (James) Ford who sits right next to me and everyone else. We’re both jokesters but if I had to pick one of us I’m probably more of the jokester one.

Andrew: I would probably say we’re number one and two on the team, he’s number one and I’m two in terms of joking around and stuff.

Q: Who does the better job of living the legend?

Andrew: I’ll have to go with me. I’m more of a model citizen while he’s more of an outcast. He’s a rebel!

Aaron: Whoa, what?!

Q: What’s it like playing on the same court as your brother?

Andrew: We always had a plan to play together when we first started playing basketball, and we stuck with it during the recruiting process so it feels good to be able to share our college experience together.

(We) always have someone to talk to when stuff doesn’t go right, or when it does go right. (We) always have someone to remind (each other) to push yourself so it’s good.

Aaron: It’s definitely something that we enjoy. I’m his biggest supporter when he’s in the game. He’s my biggest supporter when I’m in the game.

In practice we go at it and compete and everything. You always have somebody to work out with. We push each other on and off the court, making sure we’re all on our P’s and Q’s and everything.

So it’s good to just have somebody when things aren’t going right to cheer you up and talk to you and celebrate with you when things are going right.

Q: Who had the biggest impact on both of your playing careers?

Andrew: I’d probably say first and foremost our AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) coach Tony Langley because he’s the one that first taught us the game of basketball when we were younger.

We played basketball before playing for him but he was the one that really got us serious about the game. He instilled work ethic in us that we didn’t have before and he taught us the value of working hard.

He really was like a father figure to us growing up because if we needed clothes or food or something like that he would help us out with it. He was a father figure more than a coach, and he was also probably our biggest critic on the basketball court so I’d attribute a lot of it to him.

Aaron: I’d probably say the same thing. He was definitely a major player in our success.

He really instilled a work ethic in us, making sure we were always doing well in class, making us run in the gym if we weren’t doing well.

We’ve had a lot of help along the way and we’ve been real blessed to have good people in our lives: our high school basketball coach, our prep school basketball coach, a lot of family friends that helped us from back home.

We’ve just been really blessed to have a lot of good people in our lives while we were growing up.

Q: If there is one thing you want Bobcat Nation to know about your relationship, what is it and why?

Andrew: We’re probably two of the hardest working and most humble kids that you’ll ever meet. We joke around a lot and stuff, but we’re always going to be here for each other.

We’ve worked hard for everything that we’ve ever gotten, and we’re always going to be fighting hard to bring the first championship to Quinnipiac.

Aaron: I’m my brother’s keeper and I’m always going to be there for him. If things are or aren’t going well I’ll be there for him, regardless of what it is, I’ll be the first one to have his back. And he would be the first one to have mine.

Basically, you get one, you get both. Family first.
