Ohio State played the University of Texas Pan-American today. The Broncs, as opposed to the Broncos, are not a good basketball team.
After beating Victory University in late November by 19 points, the school first founded in 1927 as Edinburgh College has now fallen all the way to 2-7 on this 2011-12 season. But enough about the tenth largest university in Texas who came up short against the Sullinger-less Ohio State Buckeyes 64-35 earlier today in the Columbus.
What’s important is that OSU moves to 8-0 with the win today, and now readies the ship for a collision with TD’s Kansas Jayhawks.
Evan Ravenal got his first start of his career today, and finished with 11 points and 7 rebounds in 20 minutes of work. Deshaun Thomas also scored eleven, and that many guys got into the game for Thad Matta’s group on the day.
Sullinger is expected back for the trip down to Kansas on December 10th, and as of today the Jayhawks are ranked 14th in the nation.

Cleveland State 66, Detroit 61:
The Cleveland State Vikings took to the Dick Vitale Court to play the University of Detroit Titans earlier today in what was their second Horizon League game of the season.
On Thursday the Vikings beat Wright State on a D’Aundray Brown tip-in with 0.3 seconds left to win that game 45-43.
Today Gary Waters’ club was in command for most of the afternoon though, and it wasn’t as dramatic. They lead by as many as 14 points with under 5 minutes to go, but a late Detroit rally did cut the CSU to lead to as few as 3 with around 2:30 to play.
Jeremy Montgomery (12 points) hit a big three down the stretch, Anton Grady (11 points) hit some key free throws, and the Vikings escaped with a 5 point win to move to 8-1 (2-0) on the season. Next up for CSU, who tallied enough votes to be recognized as 35th in the AP Poll heading into this week, is Robert Morris as they look to complete their 7-game road trip before coming home to play Akron on December 10th.
