it will be nice if he puts up those types of numbers in some games next season because they will be needed. I do not expect the same number of points but he needs to really work on his rebounding.

Yep, if he can average 12-14 points and 5+ rebounds a game he'll have a successful senior season... he is capable of putting up those numbers.

I hope Ohio State and Army fans will enjoy reading this story about the friendship between former Chicago Whitney Young teammates Sam Thompson of Ohio State hoops and Terry Baggett of Army football.

In addition, Duke freshman Jahlil Okafor was a freshman on the Whitney Young varsity when Thompson and Baggett were seniors.

I plan to make my website a Wounded Warrior fund-raising project.

Thad Matta, Ohio State head coach

On the play of Sam Thompson

“Sam has been playing very well. He has a little bit of a different demeanor about him, which I love. He’s really done a nice job taking care of the younger guys in terms of getting them to understand what their role is and what they need to do.”

Sam Thompson, senior forward
On how the newcomers played tonight

“I think the newcomers did a great job. We wanted to play fast, and have our defense transition into early offense, and I think we did a great job doing that. Anthony did his thing on the offensive boards and finishing around the basket, and D’Angelo pushed the ball up the court and made plays for himself and others. It’s early in the season, and we have a lot of room to improve, but I’m happy where we are.”
On the effectiveness of the zone defense

“We have so much length and athleticism this year that even though we aren’t playing the typical man-to-man, we can still speed the game up and control the game on the defensive end. That can lead to transition plays, and good things happen.”
On controlling the game on defense

“I think we did a much better job of controlling the ball in the first half. In the second half, we let them get into the middle of our zone, and that’s not good for us. They put some points on the board in the second half, and we need to do a better job of controlling the ball and dictating what the other team is doing on offense.”

DESHAUN THOMAS AND SAM THOMPSON JOIN CHARLOTTE HORNETS' SUMMER LEAGUE TEAM

Deshaun Thomas and Sam Thompson last played together in March 2013 when Ohio State bowed to Witchita State in the West Regional Final of the NCAA Tournament.

The two former Buckeye scorers are getting the band back together, however. The Charlotte Hornets announced their Summer League roster Tuesday, and Thomas and Thompson both made the cut.
