After a slow start in the first half that enabled the Samford Bulldogs to lead at the intermission, the No. 23 Ohio State Buckeyes turned it on in the second half and sprinted away with a 68-50 victory inside Value City Arena on Tuesday night.
Chris Holtmann’s squad is now 5-0 on the season, and this one came with a shakeup to the starting lineup.
The Buckeyes unveiled a starting five that included some fresh faces. Duane Washington Jr., Jaedon LeDee and Keyshawn Woods made their first appearance in OSU’s starting five, while Musa Jallow cracked the lineup for the first time this season.
