Holloway was a part-time starter as a freshman, then became the starting point guard as a sophomore, playing alongside future NBA player Jordan Crawford. He averaged 12.1 points and 3.9 assists that year and helped the Musketeers to a 26-9 record and a share of the Atlantic 10 title. Prior to his junior year, Holloway began using the nickname "Tu" exclusively. The name change signalled a breakout year, as Holloway led the conference in assists and finished second in the league in scoring. He was selected as the 2011 Atlantic 10 Conference men's basketball player of the year as he led the Musketeers to another regular-season championship. Holloway was also the only player in NCAA Division I basketball to record two triple-doubles during the season. Holloway also received national recognition as he was named a third-team All-American by both the Associated Press, Fox Sports, and Sporting News magazine. In December 2011, Holloway received press for his role during and after the game with rival Cincinnati that ended with a brawl between the teams. In a post game press conference, Holloway was quoted as saying "We've got a whole bunch of gangsters in the locker room. Not thugs, but tough guys on the court. And we went out there and zipped them up at the end of the game." Holloway finished his college career at Xavier as second most in assists and the sixth leading points scorer all time.
