Ohio State seemed like it was in a hurry to get to tomorrow's Thanksgiving dinner, trying to make as quick of work as possible of an overmatched opponent in Campbell.

The Buckeyes did just that, as they led by 23 points at halftime and rolled to a 91-64 victory Wednesday night to improve to 4-0 on the young season.

Freshman D'Angelo Russell led the way yet again for Ohio State, pouring in a game-high 22 points. Sophomore Marc Loving added a career-high 18, Shannon Scott and Sam Thompson each had 11 and Amir Williams had 10 as all five starters reached double-figures.

The Buckeyes, who entered Wednesday's game No. 1 in the country in filed-goal percentage, continued their hot-shooting start to the season. Ohio State shot 61 percent from the field while shooting 8 for 20 from 3-point range.

Freshman Jae'Sean Tate came off the bench to provide his usual spark in a game that lacked energy at times. Tate finished with five points and five rebounds

The 16th-ranked Buckeyes will next be in action Friday afternoon when they host James Madison at the Schottenstein Center.
