Ohio State tunes up for conference play vs. Coppin State
Dec 30, 2006 - 5:05 PM Coppin St (2-10) at No. 6 Ohio St (10-2) 8:00 pm ESTCOLUMBUS, Ohio (Ticker) -- With its heralded freshmen class, Ohio State will have one final tuneup before conference play begins.
Coming off a loss against one of the nation's top teams, the sixth-ranked Buckeyes will host struggling Coppin State on Saturday.
Ohio State's talented freshmen class, featuring potential NBA No. 1 pick Greg Oden and his former high school teammate Mike Conley, Jr., has been solid this season. The Buckeyes only two losses have come against second-ranked North Carolina and third-ranked Florida.
Last Saturday, the Gators held Oden in check and Conley had with 13 points, seven assists and four steals in an 86-60 loss.
Coppin State is coming off drubbing at the hands of ninth-ranked Connecticut. Andy Kennedy scored 12 points - all in the first half - for the Eagles, who are in the midst of a brutal four-game road trip.
Coppin State lost at Oklahoma and Alabama prior to its loss to the Huskies and finish up at Ohio State on Saturday.
The Eagles have lost both of their previous meetings with the Buckeyes.
