close continue defense figure good post starts
We've got to figure out a way, but obviously, post defense starts with good perimeter defense. We've just got to continue to show improvement. We're not close to where we need to be offensively or defensively.
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.
build continue guess stay team
We have not been a team that's been able to get up and stay up and continue to try and build on a lead. We have not been that kind of team. I guess that's the only disappointing thing about today.

I'm not done playing. I know our kids aren't. I just hope we get an opportunity to continue to play.

I thought we came out and played with energy and enthusiasm. Once we got on the plane, it was over. As a staff, we started talking about Iowa.

I thought that each guy contributed in a certain way.

I think we're a very worthy team. If that's (Ohio State) the number one team in our conference ... You saw a pretty good game out there. We're a team that's improved since the year's gone on. I hope our kids get the chance to play in the NIT.
kids played
I think we've come a long way. I think we've really improved. I think the kids played pretty well down the stretch.
kids pop sharp worked
I thought we were decently sharp today. I think the kids had a little energy, a little pop to their step, and it worked out well.
couple emotion energy game kids needs played
Our kids had some fun. They played with some energy and some emotion and got a couple dunks. That's the way the game needs to be played.
basket gave great guys needed
Our guys gave it a great run, but we were a basket or two away from where we needed to be.
great guys taking
Our guys did a great job. I'm not taking any credit.
goals good job
We really wanted to get to the free-throw line, that was one of our goals. We thought we could take them off the dribble, especially Geary, and I thought we did a pretty good job of that.
