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.
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.
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.
allow beat cannot continue good guys head people pressure shoot team
You cannot let guys who can shoot get their head up and get comfortable here at home. You have to continue to disrupt, you cannot let people do what they want to do and we didn't pressure the ball. You're not going to beat a good team when you allow perimeter shooters to get into a rhythm.
besides bodies court four good minutes played talent
Besides the four minutes at the end of the first half, we played pretty good especially with the talent that was out on the court and the kind of bodies they have.
blocks good guy job rebounds tonight
When he makes good decisions, he is going to give us production. I think tonight he did a good job of that. He's got to be a guy who blocks shots, rebounds and is very active.
chicago eastern fall good guys illinois nine players radar southern
Chicago has so many players, and I've recruited Illinois for nine years at Eastern Illinois and Southern Illinois. Players in Chicago -- really good players -- can fall under the radar because there's so many guys there.
bryant putting shot three
Yes, I would say so. Especially with Bryant Dillon making the shot and putting us up three and in position.
both ends force game himself played white within
I thought Marcus White played within himself on both ends of the court. I think that it's very important for him just to let the game come to him, not force things.
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.
gave great guys hooked ready
I thought our guys gave a really great effort. They were hooked up and ready to go.
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.
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.
