COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – D’Angelo Russell scored 24 points on a stellar shooting night and Amir Williams added a career-high 21 to lead No. 21 Ohio State past Wright State 100-55 on Saturday.
The Buckeyes (11-2) begin Big Ten by hosting Iowa on Tuesday. They have won all 11 home games but have gone 0-2 away from Value City Arena – against the best two teams they played, No. 4 Louisville and No. 20 North Carolina.
Russell was 7 of 8 from the field, including 6 for 6 behind the arc, and 4 of 5 on free throws. Williams’ previous best was 18 points a year ago against North Florida.
Kam Williams added 15 and Marc Loving 13 points for Ohio State, which shot 61 percent from the field.
Grant Benzinger had 12 points and Joe Thomasson 10 for Wright State (8-6), which has lost two in a row after a four-game winning streak.
