“It's going to be tough. Lester's one of our better players, but at the same time with the lineup changes we're going to make if he doesn't play, we're going to be fine. We have a lot of talent on the perimeter to withstand a blow like that, but without Lester and his talent, drive and competitiveness, it's going to hurt.”
“We have to do a better job defending. We haven't defended for three games. We haven't been tough enough lately. But we have to give them (Buckeyes credit).”
“We knew we had to make a commitment to play defense and that's what we talked about at our meeting. If we play defense like we played tonight we're very tough to beat.”
“They had energy at home and they made some tough shots. They made some step-back jumpers when we were right on them. Give them credit. They deserved to win.”
“When you have a guy who can knock down shots like that, it's not hard to develop chemistry with him. You just have to find him when he's open. Ron has really stepped up and played well. He's made shots and rebounded well from the wing.”
“At first, the conversation was friendly. But after that the guy came up to me and said something to me and I could smell alcohol on his breath. I don't know. It was a crazy situation. I've never seen anything like it.”
