"With Tu (Holloway) on the court, I'm used to scoring. I realize my team needed me to get the ball to them. I did a better job in the second half. I tried to put myself and my teammates in a position to shoot."
"Tu (Holloway) is a leader on the court, he's the one who gets us in the proper position. We were out of position and disorganized at first, but we got it together in the second half."
On his first-half dunk "It was a great pass by Mark Lyons. I told him in shoot-around, `just make me go get it,' and he did."
On his first game as a Musketeer "It was everything I thought it would be with the intensity and speed of the game. It was everything I thought it would be and more."
Xavier Head Coach Chris Mack
"We are a little different team without Tu (Holloway). We didn't play the way we do in practice. We need to work on our free throws, we need to be more aggressive and finish possessions. Those are the things I saw without looking at the tape."
"From 12 minutes (in the first half) on, we did a better job of ending possessions. Early, they (Morgan State) got a lot of rebounds. I challenged our front-court at halftime. I told them we were getting pushed around. When we did become more aggressive, we fouled a lot. We have to find a balance."
