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.

This was a big game for Iowa, a big game for Michigan State. They played better than we did.

It was nice to lead off the game and kind of set the tone for us.

I just don't think we played very well after that first half of a quarter. I'm a little disappointed in our intensity level, and I was disappointed in our penalties. ... We didn't keep the ball enough to keep their offense off the field.

We played their (Cougars') game. We played a 5-on-5 half-court game. We don't have the shooters to do that.

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.
