Coppin State Head Coach Ron “Fang” Mitchell
“We came in here with the intention to play well but that changed quickly with all of the blocks by (Ken) Johnson. Johnson’s play and shot blocking really intimidated us and changed the whole game. I give all the credit to Ohio State. They kept bringing it to us and never let up.”
(On Ken Johnson) “Ken Johnson is one of the best shot blockers we have seen. I have seen some of our shots thrown back at us so I wasn’t really surprised to see all of those blocks.”
Ohio State Head Coach Jim O’Brien
“We played good defense and I would like to single out Boban (Savovic). Joe Brown is a good player. We guarded extremely well, again. Ken Johnson was an unbelievable factor around the basket. I was disappointed in our rebounding.”
(On halftime talk) “At halftime, we talked about our rebounding. We were out rebounded 21-13 and that is just disappointing and not good.”
(On shooting 15-22 from free-throw line) “We need to improve our free-throw shooting. We started out the year hot but we have gotten cold. I don’t really know what the answer is to our problem.”
