COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)—William Buford couldn’t have been happier that No. 3 Ohio State was playing against VMI, a team that liked to press and run and gun.
Buford scored 23 points and Jared Sullinger added 17 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Buckeyes past the Keydets 107-74 on Wednesday night.
“I liked it. I don’t know about everybody else, but I did,†Buford said of VMI’s uptempo style. “We just stayed with it and we were making shots on offense and getting rebounds and pushing it.â€
Aaron Craft had 13 points and eight assists, Deshaun Thomas 11 points and J.D. Weatherspoon 10 points for the Buckeyes (5-0), who shot 68 percent from the field.
