Ohio State basketball vs. Eastern Illinois preview: TV info, key players, starters, prediction
Ohio State basketball team plays its third straight home game when it hosts Eastern Illinois on Wednesday night. The Buckeyes have won the previous two meetings between the two programs, but neither team has been ranked in the last decade. Eastern Illinois lost to Illinois in their season opener.
Ohio State basketball team is led by Bruce Thornton (5.5 ppg), Isaac Likekele (6. 5 p.p.g), Sean McNeal (9.4 pg.gs), Justice Sueing (15.0 pPG), and Zed Key ( 15 pgs). Eastern Illinois team has a team led with 7 players.
Eastern Illinois is going to Hawaii for the Maui Invitational next week. The team is very young and the main thing to keep looking for is which freshmen flash. Brice Sensabaugh has done so in both games, averaging 15.5 points off the bench.
Stephen’s pick is 90-69 Ohio State. It would take the Panthers having the best shooting night in program history and an equally bad night from the Buckeyes for them to improve to 3-0.
