Exhibition games are often about process over results, and with a new-look Ohio State team scrimmaging a top-20 Cincinnati squad, that's probably where it's better to focus.
The Buckeyes shot a meager 35.8% from the field in an 80-62 loss to the Bearcats. Cincinnati shot 54.2% from the floor and 38.5% from 3-point range. Both sides experimented with a slew of different lineups in the scrimmage.
