- Junior point guard Bruce Thornton scored the team’s final nine points and led the Buckeyes with 20 points and five assists.

- Micah Parrish also had quite the Ohio State debut, scoring 17 points, grabbing six rebounds and dishing-out a career-high five assists.
- Head coach Jake Diebler, who is in his first full season as head coach, already has a pair of wins against ranked teams. In addition to the win over Texas last week, he led the team to a win over No. 2 Purdue in his first game as interim head coach last season.
- Ohio State has nine newcomers this season, including five transfers. Parrish, who transferred from San Diego State, is one of the most veteran players in the country this season. He is in the Top 5 in terms of games played among active players with 136.
