THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Ohio State’s Daequan Cook, right, leaves VMI’s Adam Lonon with nowhere to go. Cook led the Buckeyes in scoring with 22 points.
That adage about kids having to learn to walk before they run is true.
Unfortunately for the newborn Ohio State men’s basketball team, it had no choice but to run — and run, and run some more — last night in the first Division I college game for about half the roster.
Either that or get lapped by spunky Virginia Military Institute, which had scored 272 points in two exhibition wins.
It was pretty at times. It wasn’t pretty at times. But it was, at the end, a 107-69 victory for the Buckeyes in Value City Arena in the first round of the Black Coaches Association Classic...
I watched the game on Tivo after I got back from watching my high school alma mater in the Ohio High School football playoffs. They looked very good, though a bit ragged at times. The new guys are definitely going to be good and very fun to watch! When Oden's healthy this season could be very fun!
