For most of the first half, No. 5 Ohio State's game against Southeast Missouri State looked anything like a blowout.
Thirteen turnovers from the Buckeyes, many unforced, allowed the Redhawks to hang around. Southeast Missouri State even led in the 11th minute of the game. By halftime, Ohio State had pulled out out to a nine-point lead before pouring it on in the second half en route to a 80-48 victory on Tuesday night at the Schottenstein Center.
The Buckeyes, who responded to their first loss of the year to Minnesota on Sunday, improved their record to 10-1.
