IPFW Head Coach Tony Jasick "First and foremost, you have to give a lot of credit to coach (Chris) Mark and his team. They have a lot of weapons. (Dezmine) Wells hit a couple of shots early, and that allowed them to feel good about themselves."
Xavier Players Tu Holloway "I was just happy to be back out there after sitting out the game (against Morgan State)."
"Kenny (Frease) is a great low post presence. Dez (Wells) is a slasher. It's good just being a point guard and allowing the game to come to me."
"It's easy for us (Mark Lyons and himself) to share the ball and get assists."
"From this game and last game, he (coach Chris Mack) was a little disappointed that we didn't finish the game like we should have. We have to be sharper down the stretch."
"Like Tu says, we have a lot of guys who can score. My teammates found me (in the second half) in great position (to score)."
Xavier Head Coach Chris Mack "I thought we made improvement from game one to game two. It's really nice to have an All-American (Tu Holloway) back."
"I'm really excited about Justin (Martin). He has done a great job of playing harder and sustaining his effort."
On Travis Taylor "He rebounded the ball pretty well. I thought he paid attention to the scouting report and stayed down on defense."
"I'm blessed as a head coach to have as many talented guys as I have. As time goes on we have to do a bang-up job as coaches to figure out who we need on the floor."
"For those guys (IPFW) to shoot 31.3 percent for the game and 25 percent from the three, I thought our team was really locked in. He (Frank Gaines) struggled to get to the rim."
"Dez (Wells) is a really good player. He's extremely talented. Guys on the team have a lot of confidence in him, as do the coaches."
