Ohio State Comes Wins Exhibition Opener

[ge1974]

They beat Walsh 83-71. Looks like DeShaun Thomas is "the man" at OSU. Yes, I know. Its only an exhibition game.

Normally this wouldn't mean much, but considering our first game out of the gate is against a highly ranked opponent, I'm glad they had an exhibition and we had scrimmages.

In the scrimmage we played against better competition (Illinois State) than Ohio State played in their exhibition.
There is film on Ohio State now, no film on MU. Might not mean much, but at least our guys can see film of the guys they are playing against.
MU players have already been on the road to an extent.

All of this may not sound like a big deal, and is probably not. I'm just looking for any advantage we can get going into the Ohio State game.
