The newly unranked Ohio State Buckeyes (4-1) came into Monday night’s game in the Fort Myers Tipoff against the No. 21 Seton Hall Pirates (3-1) with an energy, aggression, and chip on their shoulder that they didn’t seem to have in their 71-65 loss to in-state foe Xavier on Friday night. That focus and hustle helped them turn in their best performance of the young season and pull off a xx-Xx win.
The two teams entered this mini, Thanksgiving-week tournament with very different energies. The Buckeyes had yet to play a complete game through four games, while the Pirates were fresh off of a 67-65 win over Michigan in Ann Arbor.
