Ohio State hoops got the season started off with a bang, knocking off in-state rival Cincinnati, 64-56, in the inaugural game inside the newly renovated Fifth Third Arena.
The Buckeyes, now without the production of guys like Keita-Bates Diop or Jae’Sean Tate, were able to get it done on the road with a group containing a majority of fresh faces.
OSU was led by Kaleb Wesson’s huge night, as the sophomore forward finished with 15 points and seven rebounds. C.J. Jackson added 13 of his own, including a pretty layup that would ice the game with 30 seconds remaining.
