They've meant an awful lot to us. They're going to be missed, there's not doubt about it.

It's very important. We're desperate to win this weekend. We'll be battling with Ball State for third or fourth place in the conference.

It was nice to see Robbie come into the game and do some really good things for us.

It's going to be another typical Ohio State-Penn State match with both teams knowing each other pretty well. After their loss to us out in Hawaii, I'm sure they will be ready to play.

It just kind of occurred naturally because there are so many players from outside of Ohio. Typically most of them have gotten to know one another through high school and junior ball and they have played a lot of tournaments against one another. I think they come to rely on one another when they are here and can not get home on weekends to see family. They do become that second family. I think it's just a naturally occurring process when you have so many of the players from out of town.

They're trying to distribute the ball, but he's still their go-to guy. There's no rocket science there. He's the guy who's going to see the ball when things have to get done for them. We did a good job the first game and a half against him and then he did a good job at the end of Game 2. Game 3 he got off on us again.

To get two wins on the road this late in the season was big for us. Now it's on to the playoffs.

We didn't (do that) good a job of stopping him (Proper). We just weren't physically big enough to handle him, but I thought the kids played hard.

We were 0-13 against them. This was huge.

Part of the struggle was probably the fact that we gave the kids a few days off once we got back to get them back into rhythm on an academic side.
