JaQuan Lyle's college career, a long time coming, starts promising in Ohio State's exhibition win

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Sunday wasn't supposed to be JaQuan Lyle's college debut.

Who knows, maybe he hoped on being in the NBA by now. At the very least this was supposed to be the start of his second season in college, and he wasn't supposed to be playing for Ohio State.

It wasn't even a real game, the Buckeyes 92-82 exhibition win over Walsh, but it was real enough for Lyle to put to bed a long chapter of his life that kept him off the floor as a college basketball player.

"It felt great to finally get out there, play in front of the best fans in America," Lyle said.
