Mobley said that he has a “bad taste in his mouth” from last year’s Pitt loss (Ohio State lost 91-90 in overtime last year) and that he “can’t wait” to play the Panthers again. He also said that the mid-range shots “really weren’t there” for him over the last several games, but Mount St. Mary’s playing a drop coverage defense opened up the middle for him on Tuesday, opening up those types of shots and helping him score 26 points on 10-of-15 shooting. Diebler said that he’s glad some of the team had that experience with Pitt last season, but that it is a new group and he “doesn’t need to manufacture motivation” for Friday’s game. He also said that he is confident that the high-level offense that Ohio State has been exhibiting through the first six games of the season will translate against a power conference team on the road.
