I thought (Horton) played tremendous defense. We had to. I can't tell you how talented and quick Dee Brown is. ... You have to be disciplined, you have to be tough, you have to be a little lucky.

I'm hoping he's going to respond in the correct manner, and so far he has. I've always thought of every moment as a teaching moment. Unfortunately, sometimes teaching moments have to come in some adverse situations and circumstances.

We can cry about that if that's the right word to use, but nonetheless we have to keep fighting. I don't know if that's what happened with our team (when the Buckeyes took control with Harris out). But obviously it didn't help us to have him go down.

We have no one to blame. That's what I wanted the kids to know.
