Didn't see the game but two things stand out to me:
1. We outrebounded them by 11.
2. Butler with 22 points and 12 assists.
The switch of Turner and Diebler has worked out great.

He was really "in the zone" today (12 of 21 and 8 of 14 from the 3 point line). Twenty one shots and he never was fouled. Did anyone actually guard him?
Anyone catch why he transferred from James Madison?
It is great to see Jom Diebler starting to make some shots. :)

SoCal, Baby!
Buckeyes had three double-doubles: Koufos and Hunter in points and rebounds; Butler in points and assists. UMBC had only 4 turnovers -- they are spectacularly good at taking care of the rock. If they shoot anything like that in their conference play, America East may have a surprise champion this season. A pretty good team.
Great to see both Diebler and Turner performing at a high level. Both of them seem to have gained a great deal of confidence at the offensive end.

Didn't see all of it but most of it.
-First game I'll give them a pass of sorts on the rebounding. Loads of 3's being heaved up led to many, many, many long rebounds when we were actually in good position for a change. That said, still too many offensive rebounds and second chance points being given up. Definitly the glaring weakness of this team.
-UMBC just started heaving 3's and didn't stop, one guy was out of his skull. No excuses but it wasn't all bad defense just like UF going 4-20something wasn't all great defense. Somedays the other team just starts making them.
-I think you can really start to see the parts coming together on offense. As somone else said earlier I'm actualy suprised when Butler misses a 3 anymore. Dieblers range is unlimited.
-Our length, proficiency with the zone D and ever improving offense are going to make us a match up issue for a lot of people as the year goes on. Our still too soft interior presence is going to get our ass kicked by some people if its not shored up.
All in all, bring on the B10. I'd give us a punchers chance at worst to defend the title.

One thing that some may not have heard was how well we did from the free-throw line. Very pleased to see us make 26 out of 31.

The difference in the game was our ability to hit free throws......

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
KYLE ROBERTSON Dispatch
Jamar Butler, going up with a shot against Cavell Johnson of Maryland-Baltimore County, led OSU with 22 points.
Kyle Robertson Dispatch
Kosta Koufos of Ohio State goes up for a shot against Darryl Proctor of Maryland-Baltimore County in the second half.
It didn't measure up to the Hells Bells toll of doom that the sound system boomed during timeouts. No, it wasn't quite how the Ohio State men's basketball team had hoped to ring out the old year.
"I think we put a little fear in their heart," Ray Barbosa said.
Maybe some questions in their minds, too.
But at the end of the day, not another chink in their armor.
Barbosa, a senior guard for Maryland-Baltimore County, made more three-point field goals yesterday than any college player has in Value City Arena. The Retrievers made more than any college team has. But the Buckeyes withstood the barrage with a point splurge of their own to head into the new year -- and the Big Ten season -- with a 92-83 victory.
Ohio State (9-3), which has won five straight games, opens the conference schedule Thursday night at Illinois.
