In what was a final tuneup before entering Big Ten play next week, Ohio State obliterated Wright State, 100-55, Saturday night at the Schottenstein Center. 

As expected, the Buckeyes toyed with the Raiders all night. They jumped out to a 10-0 run and, thanks to a decided advantage in talent and skill, never looked back.

Ohio State (11-2) made 61 percent of its shots and buried 11 three-pointers. Thad Matta's crew also blasted Wright State in the paint, outscoring it, 44-20. 

Freshman guard D'Angelo Russell led the team with 24 points and senior center Amir Williams had a career-high 21. Redshirt freshman guard Kam Williams chipped in 15, and sophomore forward Marc Loving added 13 points.

The Raiders were stifled by the Buckeyes' 2-3 zone defense, shooting just 30 percent from the field for the game and 8 for 31 from 3-point range.

The Buckeyes play Iowa in the Big Ten opener Tuesday in Columbus.
