Ohio State beats (Western) Michigan 73-56 to kick off rivalry week

Welcome to rivalry week! To kick off the best and most venomous sports week of the year, the men’s basketball team welcomed the Western Michigan Broncos to the Schottenstein Center Sunday afternoon for the fourth-ever matchup between the two programs. Because even though Buckeyes fans can’t take a swing at the Wolverines until Saturday, the second-best thing is facing off with one of the several directional Michigan schools, right?

The Broncos (0-4) came into this game having lost games to North Dakota State, Georgia State, and Northwestern by a combined 15 points — an average deficit of just five points per loss.
