Ohio State's offensive approach changed after halftime, and it led the Buckeyes past Eastern Illinois in the final pre-Maui tune up.

and now Eastern Illinois, the Buckeyes will depart Friday for their first appearance in the Maui Invitational in 19 years. A date with No. 17 San Diego State looms as Monday’s tournament opener, and it’s a team that clearly has Ohio State’s attention.“It’s possible,” Holtmann said. “You’d have to ask them that. I think we always need to have a healthy respect for who we play.”

“Running into adversity is definitely important for any team,” Sensabaugh said. “It helps you grow and helps you realize and self-reflect at halftime and after the game like we do as a team. Obviously we’ll run into adversity. Nothing’s perfect. Building off of what we know and what we’re learning is going to be important for us.”Veteran starters Justice Sueing, Sean McNeil struggle

It was a rough start for some of Ohio State’s key contributors, and that would remain the case for a few of them. In 24 minutes, Sueing finished with 6 points on 2 of 10 shooting. He attempted, and missed, five 3-pointers and finished with five of Ohio State’s 17 turnovers. Holtmann said during the preseason that Sueing, who missed all but two games last season with a groin injury, would experience some ups and downs as he reacclimated himself to Division I basketball.

Key finished with a double-double, scoring 10 points and pulling down a career-high-tying 14 rebounds. Likekele also had 10 rebounds, three assists, a steal, a block and three turnovers, but outside of Key Ohio State’s starters scored 15 points on 6 for 23 shooting.
