KENTUCKY HC MARK POPE, F ANDREW CARR, G OTEGA OWEH:
* Ton of credit to Ohio State. They beat us in every facet of the game.
* Clearly, there are a lot of ways we can get better.
* Couldn't find the juice, the fight. Just fell really short.
* First halves have been an issue. Having trouble finding our pace. They (OSU) were comfortable and it was hard for us to manage.
* On what OSU did to shoot such a high percentage and hold them to such a low percentage.... We got rejected over and over. That's on me. The lane shoulda been wide open.
* Thornton was just too good for us today. Everything we tried, he had an answer today.
* On the 10-day break, how the team will respond... They're going to really try to not let this destroy their time off. I know they'll come back focused and ready to get better.
* Defensive problems kinda led to us falling to pieces offensively. Bad habits from desperation. We don't do it by ourselves. We have to trust each other, help each other.
* Oweh: It's just kinda basketball. Sometimes it just won't go in. But we have to find ways to keep our energy when the ball isn't going in. We'll learn and get better.
* Fell into a space where everyone was trying to make a play to fix the team instead of just making a play to help your teammate.
