COACH JON GIN'S COMMENTS

Ohio Northern is a really good team. They made the Sweet 16 last year and they showed why [on Wednesday]. We played in stretches, but just couldn't sustain. When we aren't hitting threes, it impacts us everywhere and we just can't let that happen. But we are a young team. We're learning and we'll get better from here.
