The use of techniques from loop quantum gravity for cosmological models may solve some difficult problems in quantum cosmology. The solutions under a number of circumstances have been well studied. We will analyze the behavior of solutions in the closed model, focusing on the behavior of a universe containing a massless scalar field. The asymptotic behavior of the solutions is examined, and is used to determine requirements of the initial conditions.
