The Ohio State Buckeyes men’s basketball team competed in non-conference action at The Schottenstein Center this past Wednesday night.

Coming into the contest, the Buckeyes were 23.5-point favorites over the Redhawks and held a 7-1 record overall and 1-0 record in Big Ten Athletic Conference (BIG-10) play. The Redhawks sat at a 4-3 record overall and 0-0 in MAC play.

In the first half, the Buckeyes jumped out to a screaming lead and took the first half of play by a landslide, 39-26 advantage.

The 2nd half would begin, and once again, the Buckeyes would dominate from the rip. In the dying embers, a three-point basket by the Buckeyes’ Dale Bonner and a dunk from Zed Kay would propel the team in the closing minutes.

The Buckeyes would secure the win 84-64. 

For the winning team, Roddy Gayle Jr. was the high point man with 15 points as the team as a whole shot 45% from the field, 39% from beyond the arc and 76% from the free throw line.

The Buckeyes win their 7th in a row and move to 8-1 (1-0) on the season, while the Redhawks move to 4-4.
