ball care gave good guys ohio second
Our guys gave a good effort. They fought, but we didn't take care of the ball in the second half. A lot of that had to do with Ohio State's quickness.
ability aggressive key second start
I think the key was their aggressive play to start the second half. And their ability to get steals.
gave great guys hooked ready
I thought our guys gave a really great effort. They were hooked up and ready to go.
attacking efficient finish good guys job white
I thought our guys did a good job. We just couldn't finish. We weren't able to make enough shots. I thought Marcus White did a good job of attacking and being able to finish and be efficient around the basket. We didn't make enough to make them adjust, and that was the key.
died help improve talk
We don't talk about the adversity. We talk about the things that will help us improve and win. It's going to happen. And if it doesn't, we died trying.
bad basketball five four guys hard last shooting struggled worked
We really struggled shooting the basketball in the last four or five games, which is too bad because I think these guys worked hard to improve.
bryant shot
I would say so, with Bryant Dillon making the shot to put us in position. I thought we made enough plays.
biggest bounce fighting guys kept plugging tough
That was my biggest concern. It's tough for our guys to bounce back, you know, it's that 'here we go again.' But we kept fighting and kept plugging away.
effort guys playing
We have guys playing hard. The effort is better.
game good guys man
We did think about Doyle. He has that old man game that you see with guys like that at 'noon' ball. But it's effective. He's a good player. That's just his style.
ball floor hesitate
You'd like to be right there to make him put the ball on the floor or hesitate and we weren't.
doubt hours team
We are a better team than we were two and one-half hours ago - there's no doubt about that. That is what we have to have going into the Northwestern game.
continue poor somebody spirit steal
We made some poor decisions. You've got to give yourself a chance. You've got to continue to play, you can't let somebody steal your spirit and you got to keep competing.
ability block doubt energy gives guard guy high
He has the ability to be a high energy guy; a guy that can be all over the court, guard different people, block shots. There's no doubt he gives us another dimension.
