We were getting shots, we just couldn't finish. It's tough to win when you shoot (22 percent). And it seemed like all the balls were going their way. That's just the way it is.

It's tough when you shoot 25 percent for the game.

It's tough to lose a game when you shoot 74 percent in the second half. We have to be better defensively. For whatever reason, we were running into their screens.

We put ourselves in a position (to win). A couple of shots go in, we get a couple more (defensive) stops and we win a game. I'm proud of our kids for battling, but we're not a program that just wants to battle (with) people. We want to beat people.

All my shots were flat. We didn't shoot the ball well as a team (39 percent) but we still had an opportunity at the end. We had a couple bad plays and that's all it takes against a good 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.
