The Big 3 Era has passed, but if Ohio State had one, it might feature Bruce Thornton, John Mobley Jr. and Christoph Tilly. At least, the trio looked the part on a November Friday in Columbus.
Bruce Thornton (career-high 38 points), John Mobley Jr. (19 points) and Christoph Tilly (15 points) combined for 72 points as Ohio State secured a 94-68 win over Purdue Fort Wayne and improved to 2-0 this season.
| TEAM | 1 | 2 | FINAL |
|---|---|---|---|
| PURDUE FORT WAYNE | 30 | 38 | 68 |
| OHIO STATE | 45 | 49 | 94 |
Ohio State never trailed Purdue Fort Wayne, as Thornton opened the scoring with a 10-foot fadeaway, and the Buckeyes never looked back.
