It comes down to we made shots. When you're open, you've got to make shots and that puts the pressure on the other team.

We didn't always take the open shots, we made things harder than they had to be, and then when Ohio State got it going in the second half, that was the ball game.

They were getting countless open jump shots and our pressure was not very good at all. We got crushed on the boards. It all comes down to effort and that's why those are the two things we've built our program on. We didn't give that effort.

He's like a throwback the way he can serve and volley. He puts shots away, and him and William (a sophomore), I've never had a 1 and 2 that talented, they're just so talented for being so young.

They left the inside open. We either didn't hang on or didn't finish when we got the shots. They were pretty much daring us to go in there and we didn't really take care of it at all.

It was unfair for him to be criticized for the 33 shots because we put so much pressure on him to carry us. He's been focused. He wanted a playoff win.
