Xavier Players
Danté Jackson
"I'm happy with how we played in the first half. I'm really happy with how, when we get into adversity, B.J. [Raymond] and the other guys are getting us out of it."
On Terrell Holloway
"He's got all the tools to be a great point guard. He's getting better in practice. Unlike most people, he's a natural point guard and we're looking forward to him taking over that position."
On the run to end the first half
"I really think that we went on a roll there. Our defense picked up and we were getting good looks. You can credit that [the good looks] to our defense picking up."
B.J. Raymond
On Toledo's Tyrone Kent
"He got hot. He was kind of quiet in the first half, but we knew he was going to get going and be more aggressive in the second half."
"We're a young team. We're going to get better. We've got to value the ball more. We can't turn the ball over 20 times."
Xavier Head Coach Sean Miller
"On a positive for us, I really like the fact that our point guards played the entire game with only two turnovers. Our 20 turnovers came from our forwards, not our guards. I thought Dante Jackson played the best game he's ever played at Xavier. But B.J. [Raymond] was the difference, and I thought he was the best player on the floor for us tonight."
On Tyrone Kent
"He shot hungry and I mean that in a good way. The guy who is on him has to be tough. As the game wore on, the guy who was on him stayed there. The other guys were not. You really have to defend him. He had a great performance, but we broke down as the game wore on. We have to play Xavier basketball in both halves."
On Derrick Brown
"He was better tonight than he was against IPFW. He's getting better, fighting through the ankle [injury]. He has full range of motion."
"Jamel McLean is important to our team. He is energy off the bench for us. He made two big plays tonight [two dunks to start the first-half run] and he made big things happen."
On Kenny Frease
"He's a smart kid, a terrific player, and better than we saw tonight."
On Terrell Holloway
"He is getting better every day in practice. I thought he was better on defense tonight."
