It's difficult for any team to do. You can't be down 20 points in the second half and expect to get back in the game. I thought we did a good job with that. We had to get a stop every possession and get a basket every possession basically. We can't dig ourselves into a hole like that and expect to win.

He's the best guard I've played against this season, hands-down.

All of the sudden, he took off and I just had nowhere to go. It was a pretty serious dunk.

I think he always plays well against Ohio State just because of the fact he's from Columbus. I think he feels a little disrespected from them not recruiting him, so he always plays his best against them.

I think it was good for us. I think some of us were a little tired. We had a lot of games straight through. From (the Iowa) game until now we got a little bit of rest in our legs. If we have a good week of practices, that'll follow through to the game on Thursday.

We can't dig ourselves in a hole like that and expect to win.

I'm proud of the way our team played today. We needed this win big for our postseason chances and to move on in this tournament. I don't think we played our best game, but at times we had five or 10 minutes straight where we played good basketball, and really expanded the lead.
