They were able to finish plays, get fouled and get to the free-throw line. We fought, we just didn't take care of the ball in the second half, but that had a lot to do with Ohio State's quickness.

You have to defend Geary Claxton with somebody like him, somebody 6-foot-5, 215. You've got to mirror him. If you go with too much size, he's going to use his quickness to get to the basket, post up and spin. If you go with someone smaller, he's just going to kill him on the boards.

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.

We compounded our mistakes. At times, we simply couldn't pass and catch.
