Harvey_Dominique
A: It was a little sad; it was the last home game. It was the last time that I was going to play in this gym in the regular season, but it was a great moment as well because my whole family was here and I got to play alongside with guys that I have played with for a long time so it was good and bad.

Q: What are you going to miss most when this season is over?

A: The guys on the team personally, they are great guys and it is going to be hard to go away from that.

Q: Out of the four regular season losses, which one do you wish you could have back and why?

A: Indiana University-South Bend, because I think that hurt us in the rankings and of course in the conference as well so I wish we could have that one game back.

Q: If there was a dunk contest on this team, who would win?

A: Number 30 Tony Core would probably win that one, hands down I think he would win that.

Q: Who is someone you would love to meet one day and talk to?

A: Somebody probably like a Dwyane Wade or a LeBron James just to see how it is to get to that level.

Q: What other sport would you be playing if it was not for basketball?

A: Football. I played football in high school and I loved playing it so definitely football.

Q: What brought you here to Saint Xavier?

A: I got scouted out of high school and I was showed around campus and I thought it was really nice, plus I wanted to stay close to home so it was a good choice for me.

Q: With the departures of yourself, Roosevelt Green, Anthony Grant and Mike Beutel, what are your thoughts on the future of this team?

A: I am optimistic for the guys, we have some really good players and in the regular season it is so obvious how good they are and I am really excited for them going forward.
