Very excited to hear Kam shoots the ball well, we need someone other than Loving to score with jump shots and behind the arc. Was Thompson shooting mid range? Always seemed he was 3 points or a dunk, nothing else. Can't wait to get a look at Russell, KBD, and Tate.

No. 20 Buckeyes Roll Over Umass-Lowell, 92-55
The Buckeyes pull away early for a convincing season-opening win.
Sam Thompson

"To be honest, they were better than I expected," said UMass-Lowell coach Pat Duquette. "I thought with graduating some of the guys they lost last year it would take them a little while to bring it together. But this is a good team."
Freshman D'Angelo Russell had 16 points, four rebounds and six assists, Marc Loving scored 14, graduate transfer Anthony Lee had 13 and redshirt freshman Kam Williams 12 for the Buckeyes (1-0), who shot 62 percent from the field. Shannon Scott, often eclipsed by the hoopla around graduated point guard Aaron Craft, had a career-best 11 assists to go with nine points.
"The newcomers did a great job," said Thompson, a senior. "We wanted to play fast, we wanted to have our defense translate into some offense, we wanted to get some easy buckets - and we did a good job of doing that."
Russell is an acclaimed recruit out of Louisville, Kentucky, who led Montverde (Fla.) Academy to a 55-2 record and two national championships the last two seasons. He played well alongside Scott, and then slid over and ran the offense to give Scott a breather......
