Tommy Amaker Difference Quotations

I thought Chris Hunter's play for us coming off the bench was a big difference for our production and our ability to win this basketball game this evening.

We really did a horrendous job of taking care of the basketball. I thought the difference was us not getting to the foul line, and turning the basketball over. We were very sloppy with the basketball. There's no excuse. There's no other way of describing it or analyzing it. It's something that has to be corrected for us to win on the road.

Both teams struggled offensively. It wasn't a pretty game from an offensive standpoint. The difference was they were able to get to the foul line and they knocked in a decent percentage.

Both teams struggled offensively but the difference was that they were able to get to the free-throw line. They (Buckeyes) were the aggressors.

I'm very pleased for Courtney. His presence was a huge difference for our team.

I thought that was certainly the big difference when we played in Ann Arbor and it was a big key today here in East Lansing.

Boy, he was just an efficient basketball player as a senior. And when you think back on some of the really good senior players who have played in Madison, you think of those moments where a kid like Wilkinson is really in a nice state of mind. That's the difference in Daniel Horton.

It was a gritty effort by both teams, but hitting those three-pointers was the difference for us. Tonight, we did a horrendous job of finishing at the basket. We were fortunate to shoot such a high percentage in three-pointers.

Hunter was a big difference for us ... I thought he had a really, really solid game.
