Photos: Ohio State Avoids Letdown, Outlasts Scrappy Mercer Team in Columbus

Ohio State avoided post-Kentucky letdown thanks to a big-time second half effort and knocked off Mercer 64-44 in Columbus on Tuesday night.

The Buckeyes struggled early, but thanks to a stingy defense, had no trouble holding off the Bears behind 18 points from freshman JaQuan Lyle.
