Xavier Players
“The team did a great job spreading the floor so I could get to the basket.”
On walk-on Joe Hughes’ 7-point scoring performance
“He works so hard, so it’s nice to see him rewarded.”
“If we can get the advantage down low, that opens everything up. Then we start to hit some threes and that opens everything up.”
“Today our point guards did a great job passing the ball. I think our big guys did a better job finishing.”
On Fordham’s Chris Gaston
“In the second half we did a much better job of making him catch the ball and try to finish over our big guys. In the second half we did a much better job helping each other on defense. Gaston and [Brenton] Butler, they’re two really good players.”
Xavier Head Coach Chris Mack
“I told our guys that I was proud that we had three games in a row at home and went 3-0. It was a team effort [today] and that’s what we need.”
On Fordham’s Chris Gaston
“We are not a denying team on the perimeter. But in the second half we worked harder to make his catches harder around the basket.”
“He was aggressive early in a positive way. He got us going today. He made a few passes that exhibit the kind of unselfish team we have.”
