Game Quotes
Xavier Players
On defense
“That’s something we focused on all week in practice. We just focused on being real mean and nasty.”
On XU’s upcoming game against the University of Cincinnati
“Were sure they’re ready. We’re just looking forward to the game.”
“It’s been awhile since I felt as well as I do, and to dunk like I usually do. I felt today, for the first time, like my old self, not worrying about the strength of my ankle.”
“I thought we were more ready coming in [to tonight’s game], having a good week of practice.”
“I’ve been anxious to get back on the court with C.J. [Anderson], Derrick [Brown], and the rest of the guys. I was pain-free. It felt good.”
Xavier Head Coach Sean Miller
On Jason Love
“I was pleased with a lot of things about his game tonight. He’s just such a workhorse defensively. He had four blocked shots and seven rebounds in 17 minutes. He did a lot of the dirty work against [Jerome] Tillman. Tillman’s a good player.”
“I thought our team was really ready to play tonight. We had some great practices. Derrick Brown is over the ankle [injury] physically, and more important, he believes he is over the ankle [injury] physically.”
“Terrell Holloway is a pure point guard. I thought he looked really good tonight. To me, one of our best lineups will be when he’s in there. The point guard position is so important. I have no doubt that throughout his career he will develop into a great point guard.”
“It was our best first half [of the season] because we scored almost 50 points. We passed the ball well. We attacked the basket. If two of our three big seniors is having a good night, that makes us more effective.”
“C.J. [Anderson] is our leader. He’s our leader when he turns it over, and he’s our leader when he plays well. In the first half he was playing his best and I thought our team fed off him.”
