Basketball is back. Almost.
In its only public exhibition before opening the regular season at home against Cincinnati in a week, Ohio State used a late first-half run to defeat Cedarville, 95-52, on Wednesday evening at the Schottenstein Center.
The Yellow Jackets, by making five of their first eight 3-point attempts, kept it close early and even took a 23-22 lead with eight minutes remaining in the first half. But by the end of the first half, they trailed by double digits, and the Buckeyes pulled away for a hefty advantage.
The same player who led Ohio State in scoring and rebounding last season – Kaleb Wesson – propelled his team on Wednesday.
