Game Quotes Albany Head Coach Will Brown
"First game back from the holiday break is always a tough one. Then in the second half, Xavier really did a number on us physically. They just wore us down. I knew they were better shooters than what they had shown."
"I should have left Mark Lyons home. Who do I see to reimburse me for the Olive Garden food we got him?"
"Hats off to Xavier. They stepped up and made some threes. We can't forget that we played a team that's been to three straight Sweet 16s and is a premier team in the A-10."
Xavier Players
"This whole year teams have been trying to take charges on me. We came out aggressive. We found the open guy and hit some shots."
"Coach [Chris Mack] came into the locker room and told us to be aggressive. And that's what Kenny [Frease], Jamel [McLean], and Jeff [Robinson] did."
On XU's three-point shooting
"It's been pretty bad around here. This will give us confidence going into the next game. We have good guards. To capitalize on the zone, you have to hit three-point shots."
Xavier Head Coach Chris Mack
"Number one, probably our best offensive performance of the season. I thought our kids really moved the ball around and got open threes. The threes we took were good ones. We wanted to get the ball to several areas against the zone. They were leaving guys open by 7 or 8 feet. You have to hit the threes to keep them honest."
On Tu Holloway
"He let the game come to him. Nine assists and one turnover."
"He's doing a better job in practice. There will still be freshman mistakes, but he earned those minutes."
