As anticipated, we scored lower than in our first meets. We gave some of the younger guys experience and we weren't at full strength, but we will be ready for next week against two of the top teams in the country, Oklahoma and California. |
I am pleased with our overall performance. Our guys did a good job tonight. |
I am proud of how the team is improving each week. However, we didn't finish the meet tonight. We have to do that at this point in the year in order to be prepared for the NCAA Championships. |
I'm a little disappointed with the effort tonight. This meet was a step back for us because we didn't look like a team in the running for a Big Ten championship. We have a lot of work to do this week in order to prepare for the championships. |
I'm looking forward to the meet this weekend. Anytime you have the chance to compete against a top team, like Oklahoma, it is exciting. The guys are excited and we hope to come away with another win. |
Illinois is a good team. They are one of the toughest competitors in the Big Ten and nation. The Ohio State team has improved over the past two weeks. If we have an incredible improvement on pommel horse we will win this dual meet. |
It certainly wasn't a stellar competition or performance on our part. But the team rallied, never gave up, and we won by a point, which doesn't sound like much, but in gymnastics winning by a point is like 10 points in basketball. |
It was a better meet than anything we did last year. I think that is a testament to the potential this team has and how far this team can go. It was good to see those high scores. They get the guys excited. |
It was a great year for the squad. We went undefeated in the Big Ten and won the Big Ten Championship. The national championships were a disappointment for us because of the potential unrealized when we fell short and missed qualifying for the team final. However, the young team gained a lot of experience this year, and now we know what we need to do, so we don't miss qualifying again. |
It was a very good meet. We (Ohio State and Oklahoma) definitely are the Top 2 teams in the country. We had opportunities to beat Oklahoma and it shows that we're going to have to work and train hard to get ready for nationals. |
It's always nice to get a win against a top-team like Illinois. There were some good performances tonight. However, I did see areas we need to improve on. |
It's very disappointing. We haven't been in this position in 26 years. The longest streak of anyone getting to the championship just ended. |
Jimmy was amazing. After not performing well on floor on the first day of competition, he did what he needed to do on the second day in order to make the U.S. National Team. |
Overall I'm proud of the guys that represented Ohio State well. Hopefully tomorrow we come home with some All-Americans. |
The guys absolutely did an amazing job tonight. I thought all our performers did their job and represented Ohio State well. |
