Somebody had to beat them in here.

We didn't get beat by some chopped-liver team. I mean, don't kid yourself: They're going to win a lot of games -- a lot of games.

Sure, (the Padres) are going to be the underdog. But they have a good enough club to beat somebody, simply because in a best-of-five that No. 1 pitcher is going to pitch two games for you. That's very, very important. That's why one guy in the first series could make a big, big difference.

I think Ohio State deserves a lot of credit. The last four minutes of the game, they played extremely well. I didn't think I'd have to go with a four-guard lineup as much as we did.

I'm more disappointed how we played in the first half. It kind of set the tone for the game. In the second half, we probably outplayed them in every facet of the game. ... We just didn't execute in the last three minutes.

The turnovers were made at ridiculous times. And the number ... Give them credit. They (Iowa) hung in there. It was an ugly game.
