I think it's lost a little luster, because both programs have come so far. It used to be like the biggest game of the year when I was playing. But Xavier has come so far and UC has, it's no longer the biggest game of the year. It's a very important game, but not the biggest. It's really a testament to both programs.

Byron Larkin

We want to bring a pride in the school and program. That's what makes St. Xavier a special place. There will be an emphasis on being proud to be a part of the program.

Bart Bruner

Xavier has been running the 400 meters so he has a little more strength at the end of his race. He ran the race he was supposed to. He was quite a bit faster in his second 100 so I was real pleased with his effort.

Dennis Shaver

They haven't seen a guy of this magnitude. Even (former Xavier player) David West was a dominant player, but not like Morrison.

Phil Martelli

The kids did not like it last year and while they are a young group, they are very competitive. I think everybody has underestimated Xavier. They are deep and they have some people that others might not be as familiar with as in the past.

Perri Touché

What happened to New Orleans and Xavier, represents the greatest disaster this country has ever had. That we were able to come back in such a short period of time is a credit to our staff and faculty, who put aside their personal loses and problems, to make this miracle happen.

Norman Francis

We finished third at our invitational last year, so we'd like to step up and win it this year. St. Xavier and Hudson were both top-five teams in the state tournament last year and we've been close to those teams at tournaments several times this year. We're 2-1 against St. Xavier right now and 3-0 against Hudson, but I think any of us could win this.

David Eberst

Xavier is a hot commodity all over the state. This is going to be a great match.

Andrew D'arcy

At Xavier I was a biology and pre-med double major, but they handle pre-med differently out here and I am not in the program yet. My classes are totally different. I went from molecular biology and other science courses to English classes like Eroticism and Love in the Middle Ages.

Justin Spicer

We knew that Xavier is the best team in the conference or supposedly the best team in the conference. So to beat them on their home floor, it should be huge momentum for this season to try to get something going.

Ian Vouyoukas

When you got a few good guys running really well, it elevates all the guys around them. That's what a Kelly Willie and a Xavier Carter bring to the team. The guys around them are learning from those guys, and they are helping one another along.

Dennis Shaver

The final score definitely is misleading. We didn't play Xavier basketball at all. I'm really disappointed with the loss.

Stanley Burrell

Winning the district and finishing second at state were our goals this year. Never did we think we would dethrone St. Xavier, but we knew we could be state runner-up. To achieve all of our goals is an incredible feeling.

Kyle Goodrich

I was amazed. But then I thought about it. Xavier fans rarely call anyway, and now they have lost their biggest reason to hate UC with Huggins gone.

Lance Mcalister

Xavier has been an outstanding player and leader of Auckland. Given the circumstances it was only right to assist him as best we could for the upcoming Heineken Cup.

David White

I saw them beat Xavier on tape and that was just a tremendous win, and they come back and Saint Joseph's plays terrific and they don't shoot as well. That's what happens sometimes when you get a big win on the road, you come home and the kids relax a little bit and the other team kind of catches you off-guard.

Dereck Whittenburg

It gets everybody's attention when you get up at 5 a.m.. We'll keep doing that till we get a commitment to get on the floor, to get loose balls, to do the things we need to. ... We have to figure out where we stand. I'm not trying to have a boot camp. For us at Xavier right now, we have to determine who needs to start and who needs to play minutes.

Sean Miller

He was a superior athlete in the rec league. He was a superior athlete in high school. And he'll be a superior athlete here. You know how pilots like to fly and doctors like to save people's lives? Well, Xavier likes to play football.

Chris Ellis

It's only our fifth year as a varsity sport, so we are still building. But we're starting to be competitive with the rest of the teams. Xavier used to crush us five years ago, but now we're very competitive with them.

Bruno Duarte

I think this is good for our program. We're trying to build a Nevada, Gonzaga, Xavier, Dayton (program). That's why I came home here.

Keith Dambrot

It's fun to play [Xavier]. But now we can get on playing someone else.

Logan Parker

The matches that stood out between us and advancing to sectionals all involved Xavier. We feel very fortunate to have come out on the winning side against such a quality team.

Randy Juley

[King has called Xavier University's decision to sell the station] one of the saddest days of my professional life. ... took the spirit out of me.

James King

I know Drew and I know Xavier, and I know their work ethic, ... They know they have to be ready in a matter of a couple of weeks.

Chris Rix

My best friend's sister just started at Xavier, ... I am really excited that Howard is doing something to help the students there. It would mean a lot to her family if she ended up here with me.

Alexia

In the end, it doesn't really matter that it wasn't at Xavier.

Richard White

[• Class 4A No. 2 Cathedral (2-0) faces a challenge against Cincinnati St. Xavier at the Arlington field.] We haven't beaten (them) in four years, ... It would be a major statement for our program to win the game.

Jim O'hara

That was a great run for Xavier. Especially after not running that race since his state high school meet two years ago. He's really in good shape and we're keeping him kind of rested up so I wasn't very surprised to see a time like that.

Dennis Shaver

With our semester break, we were off a little too long. But we had beaten Xavier. It was a good win to go into the break with. We didn't have a bad taste in our mouth. They were excited to come back, and I think it's given us some momentum.

Melissa Ringhausen

I don't think anything was lost. You've got to take it game by game. (Xavier) could lose another game, and we could win the rest of ours.

Curtis Withers

I'm really proud of Abe because he's been fighting through injuries while Xavier knocked off a one and a two seed.

Marc Procaccini

It doesn't seem different to me; they're two national teams. Xavier should be ranked and Cincinnati has been ranked. If the selection committee met today, both would be NCAA tournament teams.

Jay Bilas

I guess you always think you're going to be a Division I athlete, but I wouldn't change anything at this point. Saint Xavier just seems right for me. I'm going to a successful program with a great coach. It's good to get this decision behind me.

Erin Hannemann

I was just a guy doing his job. It was very emotional the (year after the crash) when (the Young Thundering Herd) played its first home game against Xavier. It was incredible. Hollywood can't improve on that.
