Ohio Head Coach Lynn Bria:

            "I thought that (Eastern Michigan) came out and did a real nice job to start.  I thought their point guard hit some huge shots that we didn't anticipate.  It got us down in the first half.  I thought our players responded well.  They did a good job keeping their head in the game."

            "What really bothered me is that they are a team that all five players can score. I felt like that if we could just control the glass, we could hang with them.  You've got to control the rebounding with them to stand a chance."

            "I think we showed a lot of character.  Our last game we didn't play real well.  I knew they were not real happy with the way they played that game, and they wouldn't play like that again."

            "I thought we had a lot of chances, I really did.  The shots just didn't fall.  I think with the defense and rebounding, especially against them, you'll have a chance to win.  But at some point the ball has got to go in the basket.  I thought that we took good shots, the shots just didn't fall.  I thought at the beginning of the game we had open shots, we just couldn't get them to fall."
