Buckeyes Return Home to Host Central Michigan on Wednesday​


Ohio State vs. Central Michigan
Date: November 29, 2023
Time: 7 p.m.
Venue: Value City Arena – Columbus, Ohio
Watch: BTN

Ohio State returns home from a great weekend in Florida and will open a three-game homestand against Central Michigan on Wednesday night. Tip-off is slated for 7 p.m. and the game will be televised on the Big Ten Network. Connor Onion and former Ohio State standout Joey Lane will call the action.
  • This will be the third all-time meeting between the two programs. Jay Burson scored 26 points to lead The Buckeyes to an 85-83 victory on Jan. 2, 1988, inside St. John Arena. In the most recent meeting, current director of professional development and former Big Ten player of the year Terence Dials scored 14 points and grabbed 14 rebounds to lead OSU to a 77-71 victory in the consolation round of the Maui Invitational on Nov. 25, 2003.
  • The Buckeyes are coming off an Emerald Coast Classic championship, beating No. 17 Alabama 92-83 and then topping Santa Clara 86-56 in the championship game. Bruce Thornton was named the tournament's MVP after averaging 21.0 points, 5.5 assists and 4.0 rebounds. He scored a career-high 29 points in the win over Alabama. Roddy Gayle Jr. also scored a career-high 23 points against Alabama and was named to the All-Tournament Team.
  • The Buckeyes shot over 53 percent in the two games and now have the 18th most efficient offense according to Kenpom. The top-ranked offense is still Alabama and the Buckeyes held the Crimson Tide to its lowest scoring output of the season.
  • The win was Ohio State's first win in a true multi-team bracket event since the 2012 Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-off.
  • Since 2000, the only Buckeye freshman or sophomore to score 29 points against a ranked team before Thornton last Friday were Justin Ahrens and Malaki Branham. Ahrens made six three-pointers and scored 29 points as a freshman vs. No. 22 Iowa on Feb. 26, 2019. Branham netted 31 points as a freshman in the 86-83 victory at No. 15 Illinois on Feb. 24, 2022.
  • Thornton is second in the Big Ten with a 4.83 assist-to-turnover ratio and is in the Top 10 at 17.2 points per game.
  • Felix Okpara has blocked a shot in each of his last 13 games dating back to the end of last season. Since 2000, Okpara is just the fifth Buckeye big man to have a streak of 13 or more games with at least one block, joining Ken Johnson, Greg Oden, Dallas Lauderdale and Amir Williams.
  • Jamison Battle knocked-down a season-high five three-pointers and led the Buckeyes with a season-high 21 points in the win over Santa Clara. He has made at least one three-pointer in every game this season.
  • The Buckeyes have made 10 or more three-pointers in each of the last three games, marking the longest streak since a four-game stretch of 10 or more in January of 2021.

Great writeup @ScriptOhio , really appreciate the breakdown....as a guy that is horrible at tracking OSU basketball but loves watching it, it is much appreciated to get the nitty gritty of the games when I can't watch them live.

So far, I am loving what we are seeing from the team. The effort is definitely there every game and if we keep that up, we will compete every single game. We have a good team this year, really hope we keep playing to this level. Seems like we have talent and depth. Don't give a damn about the rankings, but I have a lot of confidence in the guys we have on the court,

Should be a really fun year in basketball and wrestling, which is much needed after this fall. We know neither will win a title or anything, but both will competitive and a good watch each time around.

Hopefully they don't come out sleep walking in this one after the big week last week and take care of business easily. CMU is a very bad MAC team, they were picked last in the conference preseason. Lost to Oklahoma by 30, Florida State by 27 and also have 10 point losses to Stetson and UL Monroe.

Looks like we're playing the late 70s Cavs.

Ohio State is shooting 55.6% (15-27) from the field.....GREAT
but only 25% (3-12) from beyond the 3 point line.....that's not so great.
