Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the WYMA Sports desk. Ohio State missed its first
eleven three point shots last night as they hosted app State,
but then got things going and pulled away for a
seventy five fifty three victory. Ohio State trailed by twelve
with about eight minutes to go in the first half,
but had the lead by halftime and then started the
second half with a twenty seven to seven run to

(00:23):
firmly take control of the game. Head coach Jake Diebler
said he liked how the offense adjusted after the slow start.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
We're trying to in real time right evaluate shot quality.
It's something that's that we talk about and felt like,
you know, we had we had some good looks. I
don't think all of them were great, but felt like
we had some good looking and listen, you got to
give them credit. I thought they were They were swarming
our gaps and then and then really recovering at a
at a high level. And we got a little too

(00:51):
stationary on the perimeter. You know, we didn't cut at
the level we needed to. So we made some adjustments.
Talked about, you know, getting the ball into paint first,
and then you know, when that shot goes up, going
to get some extra possessions.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
The Buckeyes played without Devin Royal last night and it
led to the first career start as a Buckeye for
Ottawa Glandorf graduate Colin White. White played seventeen minutes, didn't score,
but had four rebounds, and after the game, coach dee
Bler talked about his thought process making the decision to
start Colin White.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
It's been a roller coaster of really about you know,
coming up on twelve months for him, and I get
to see the time he puts in every single day
to give himself a chance to even practice. Now, the
exciting thing for us is he's he's been more consistent
lately and had two great days of prep. So I
felt I felt like I felt he earned the right
to play well for us. You know, part of him

(01:44):
representing the toughness and the winning over everything that we
talk about every single day was part of why he started.
The other part is I think early on in the season,
when you're trying to establish some substitution patterns and somewhat
of some consistent really them to the game, it made
the most sense to put him in so we could
still bring Gabe in kind of as that.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
First perimeter player Brandon Noel led Ohio State with seventeen
points and eleven rebounds. John Mobley added sixteen up Next
for the three and oh Buckeyes, they host a Notre
Dame on Sunday, else wearing college hoops and what is

(03:14):

your home of the Buckeyes maction last night Ohio at
Western Michigan. Those two were four and one in MacPlay

in action tonight as Miami hosts Toledo and Buffalo visits
Central Michigan to the ice. The Blue Jackets wrapped up
their four game Western swing with their only win on
the trip as they beat the Cracket in Seattle in
a shootout two to one. After the game, A coach
Dean Evison said the Jackets did a lot of little

(03:57):
things to earn the victory.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
You know what, they're really fast too, right, and what
we like and you guys know, we've talked about this
a lot. Staying on the right side, on the Jackets side.
We didn't shoat the game tonight we didn't give them
those freebies. The odd Man rush is the ones that
have heard us here, you know, this year, and it
hurts every hockey club. We stayed the course with that

(04:20):
kind of stuff and we're able to get a job done.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
The win moves CBJ back over five hundred and eight
