Postgame Quotes - Indiana at Ohio State
1/30/2018 11:28:00 PM | Men's Basketball
Archie Miller, Indiana head coach
On whether the schedule impacted the team's play
"Yes, probably a little bit. I think if you ask any coach though, they would say every coach has their own rhythm. Ohio State just recently came off a stretch about a week and a half ago, where they had four games in eight days. I think we're hitting seven in 17 days on our stretch right now. When you're at game five in 12 days it's difficult. Every coach just has to absorb the ups and downs. For us we just have to get back on our feet, clean some things up, and get ready for a very difficult game against Michigan State."
Chris Holtmann, Ohio State head coach
On his major takeaways from this game
"There are definitely some things we can learn from this for Sunday's game versus Illinois. I did not like our ball handling, passing and decision making at times. We are playing a team on Sunday that turns you over like no one else in the country so hopefully we can correct that in the coming days. Illinois is going to come at our throats from the opening tip and we just have to be able to come back."
On Keita Bates-Diop's impact on the game
"He really impacts the game in a lot of ways. People continue to be really physical with him and he's struggled with that at times. He's just got to handle it better, but, he still had a major impact on the game with his ability. He had five assists, four blocks and 13 rebounds, and that's what good players do. They find other ways to impact the game."
