bryant putting shot three
Yes, I would say so. Especially with Bryant Dillon making the shot and putting us up three and in position.
against complete convert effort execution hitting indiana lack looks main ohio open score shooting shots simply step sticking struggled
We simply have struggled shooting the basketball. We had open looks against Indiana and against Ohio State. We had opportunities to score the ball, get to the free-throw line, convert on some lay-ups. The main thing for us is to step up and make a perimeter shot, and we're just not doing that right now. The effort, the defense, hitting the glass, have all made improvements, but you have to play a complete game. It's not a lack of effort from our guys. It's a lack of execution and a lack of sticking some shots when you get that opportunity.
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.
bit gave great hard looked missed shots transition
I was going to try to play him a little bit to see how he looked out there. It's just hard in transition for him. ... He gave a great effort. He missed some shots but he was aggressive.
bryant shot
I would say so, with Bryant Dillon making the shot to put us in position. I thought we made enough plays.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
