“I think he always plays well against Ohio State just because of the fact he's from Columbus. I think he feels a little disrespected from them not recruiting him, so he always plays his best against them.”

“Well, it's no different than playing at Ohio State last year. Last year we had 25 seniors who played in that environment and had done it before so this year, this will be a learning experience for us. My advice to the players will be to enjoy the moment. Don't get uptight. These are the things you've dreamed about as a young person growing up. Enjoy the experience, live it and play hard.”

“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.”
Tom Izzo
“Ohio claims they are due a president as they haven't had one since Taft. Look at the United States, they have not had one since Lincoln.”
Will Rogers
“I don't think that's fair. I look at Ohio as playing very well against them. I wouldn't want to diminish their efforts.”
Bill Callahan
“I think we're a very worthy team. If that's (Ohio State) the number one team in our conference ... You saw a pretty good game out there. We're a team that's improved since the year's gone on. I hope our kids get the chance to play in the NIT.”
