Ohio State spent all of 20 seconds without a lead in Monday’s exhibition.
Even without projected starters Kyle Young and Justice Sueing – both out with injury – the Buckeyes cruised to a blowout win, 82-46, over Division II opponent Indianapolis in a game in which they never trailed.
Ohio State held a 16-point lead at halftime, but blew the game wide open with a 21-1 run early in the second half and never looked back. The stretch featured three-point makes from E.J. Liddell, Jamari Wheeler, Justin Ahrens and true freshman Malaki Branham, and five Buckeyes finished with double-digit scoring figures on the night.
