ball beat credit obviously seen shoot shot start team
Well, obviously they just beat us from start to finish. I'll give credit to them ... I've never seen a team really shoot the ball the way they shot the ball and it wasn't just one guy. It was everybody.

They beat us from start to finish. It was a great performance shooting the basketball. I've never seen a team shoot the ball they way they shot it. It just wasn't one guy, it was everybody.

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.

I think we've come a long way. I think we've really improved. I think the kids played pretty well down the stretch.

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.
