They can make you look bad. They've made a couple ranked teams look bad.

I've been asking them to visualize and go through the game mentally and anticipate so that you're not just sitting and hoping. If the ball bounces and you didn't think it was going to bounce to you you're probably not going to get it. Hopefully it's paying off for him and I'm hoping some of the other guys are going to start doing that too.

We were doing the best we can to patch it all together when the game started, when he had no fouls. When he goes out . . . it's difficult. It's great to get those (other) guys some experience, but it's not a stress-free experience.

We kept playing harder as the game went on, that's something you have to do. You have to believe you're going to come back. We weren't necessarily playing well but we played harder and that gave us a chance.

We don't have time to think about last season. They're good now. We can't cloud our guys' minds too much with last season. We have to play well because Ohio is good this season.

We really gave it a tremendous effort on the backboard. It's a tough place to play, there's a lot of history in this building. We did our best to try to give them the game near the end.

We play 18 conference games and it's such a long season. We learned a lot from that last season.

I can't remember playing that much zone in a game. We have been practicing it to see if [it] could help us get more depth.
