needed pressure steals tried
We tried to get some steals from the pressure because we needed to get more possessions.
chance competing continue good win
We've come a long, long way from really not competing to competing and having a chance to win games. Hopefully, good things will continue for us on the horizon.
ball blocking continue offensive work
We're not a big team. We have to continue to work on blocking out and offensive rebounding the ball -- getting after it.

We're playing with more confidence, and that might be the most important thing.

We're playing with more confidence, and that might be the most important thing. We know it's going to be a tough task (against Ohio State), but we're looking forward to the challenge.
ball coming floor mean shots side understand
We try to get them to understand where the shots are coming from. If the ball is shot on your side of the floor and you're a guard, get to the other side of the rim. Long shots are going to mean long rebounds.

We'll go back at it and run our stuff. I don't think there's any secrets. We've just got to execute a little better, and we just can't turn the ball over.

You can look at our front court all you want, but our back court didn't score.

We were in pretty good shape at that point. But they got in a rhythm and have the experience over us. Three of those guys are fifth-year seniors. We are not that. They've got some experienced guys who stepped up and made some big plays. They just shot over us and made some big baskets.

complete five four game half hard last minutes ready road second turns whatever
Whatever it is -- the last five minutes of the first half, the first four minutes of the second half -- if you're not ready to play, the game turns just like that. We've got to play a complete game. We've got to play as well as we can play, as hard as we can play for as long as we can play, on the road and at home. That's just what it is.

When we came to town, it wasn't a (guaranteed) win anymore. You're gonna have to work hard and play well to beat us.
couple last played seniors
We played well enough to win, but in the last couple of minutes, we didn't execute. Strickland made some big shots. ... He was guarded, but that's what seniors do.
