Throughout the season, Land-Grant will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions.

The 20th-ranked Michigan Wolverines won an intense, back-and-forth battle on Sunday afternoon in Columbus, knocking off the Buckeyes 86-83 in the only meeting between the two teams this season. Bruce Thornton’s floater with two seconds remaining didn’t touch the rim, and Roddy Gayle Jr. left the arena all smiles as he beat the Buckeyes in his first time in Columbus since leaving Ohio State.

After the game, Dusty May, Danny Wolf, and Vlad Goldin spoke to the media, followed by Jake Diebler and Bruce Thornton.

Goldin said the environment in the arena was “great” and what he expected the rivalry to feel like. Wolf said that “All 18,000 people” in the arena were shouting obscenities at Gayle, but had “no idea what goes on behind the scenes” with the junior guard who transferred from Ohio State to Michigan in the spring.

May said that he thought the Wolverines would have an advantage over the Buckeyes with their two seven-foot starters, but opted not to get into specifics about why he thought that was the case.

Jake Diebler said he was “Angry, frustrated, and disappointed” at the loss and that he would allow the team to be angry and disappointed about it. He said that the game against Michigan wasn’t like any other game, and he was not going to “walk that back” just because they lost.
