men starts weapons
They have a lot more weapons than one guy, but I think it all starts with their big men inside.
late nose played smart
They had a better nose for the basketball, especially late in the game. We played hard, but at times we didn't play smart and on the road, that's what you have to do.
easy leads miss next shots thinking trying
They're not trying to miss shots. They're trying to make shots out there. Sometimes when you miss an easy one, it leads to the next shot because you're thinking too much.
against guys playing time
They have some different guys that are playing that didn't play against us the first time. Any time you make an adjustment, it has an effect.
spot strides
There's a spot for him on our team, but we've got to make some strides in practice.
against guys handle pass people playing shoot
You must have people out there who can handle (the ball), pass it and shoot it (when playing against Northwestern's trap). Unfortunately, we don't have 13 guys who can do that.
bit guys
They are five-star guys who can do a little bit of everything.
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.
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.
bryant shot
I would say so, with Bryant Dillon making the shot to put us in position. I thought we made enough plays.
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.
biggest blend challenge coaching guys returning talked trying
As a coaching staff, we've talked about trying to blend in the new guys with our returning guys. That will be our biggest challenge during the preseason.
