See what he had to say in the video and check out some notes below as well.
-- Pikiell said G Geo Baker is good to go and expects him to play, but Cliff Omoruyi remains out and getting more production on the boards is vital.
-- With the postponement of the Penn State game next week, the team is receiving calls out of conference.
-- TKR asked about the mood of the team and he said hopefully the guys are disappointed and know they have to do better.
-- Pikiell addressed Myles Johnson about his post game tweets. Says the kids are young and were emotional and send. They've moved on.
-- Pikiell expressed the need for the guards to get more rebounds. Can't just be Johnson getting the boards and having Omoruyi out hurts.
-- Haven't talked to the team about the issues in Washington D.C. on Wednesday, but they will.
