Postgame Quotes
Xavier 108, Virginia 70
Virginia Head Coach Dave Leitao
“That was a team that was very good and very ready against a team that wasn’t very ready and isn’t very good. First play we gave up a dunk and all five guys were in violation of where they were supposed to be and it went on from there.”
“They have a guy like [Drew] Lavender who’s so willing to get everyone involved. We were getting beat up the court. We were getting beat down the court.”
Xavier Head Coach Sean Miller
“Things went well for us tonight. That’s probably as well as we’re capable of playing offensively, and one aspect of the game is that we’ve become deeper.”
“[Stanley Burrell] is second in the entire [A-10] conference in assist to turnover ratio, and leading in that category is Drew [Lavender]. If we can get our young guards to contribute as we did tonight, we’re going to be better.”
“Stanley Burrell played 94 games in his career [before this season] and took one charge. This year he leads our team after 14 games with six.”
“We lead our conference of 14 teams in rebound margin. It’s something we’ve become strong in. We rebound, but we rebound with a lot of guys.”
“We have a reputation of a team that you can zone. I’m here to tell you that’s not the case. We’ve worked hard against zone. Teams are showing zone to see how we do.”
