Ohio State made quick work of another mid-major opponent at home Wednesday.
The Buckeyes bounced back from Saturday’s overtime loss to North Carolina by mauling Maine, 95-61, to start the season 6-0 at the Schottenstein Center. Ohio State went up by as many as 22 points in the first half, led by 21 at intermission and didn’t let its foot off the gas much after that.
Buckeye big man Zed Key set the tone early, establishing a marked advantage in the paint. Ohio State went to the well repeatedly without much of a meaningful answer from an overmatched Maine roster.
