Quotable: Head Coach Pat Estepp

"First off, I want to thank our fans and our University for the tremendous amount of support they showed us tonight! It made me and our team very proud to be a part of Cedarville!

"(OSU Head Coach) Chris Holtmann was very complimentary of our fan base. We wish we could have hung around longer and made it closer late, but we didn't take care of the ball well enough and they have an All-American inside in Wesson, who is unlike any post we will see all year.

"We have some positives to build on and I thought our guys battled. We have to take better care of the ball in stretches and rebound better.

"We would need to shoot much better from three in order to stay within striking distance of a team at that level. Overall, it was a tremendous experience for our program and for our university."
