COLUMBUS, Ohio (Interstat) — The Ohio State Buckeyes look to build on a high-scoring season opener when they host the Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons in a non-conference men’s basketball game Friday at Value City Arena.

The Buckeyes (1-0) opened their season with a 118-102 victory over IU Indy on Monday. Ohio State’s offense was powered by a dominant frontcourt performance from Christoph Tilly, who scored 28 points and grabbed nine rebounds. Bruce Thornton added 26 points and five rebounds, while Devin Royal chipped in 22 points and eight rebounds off the bench.

Purdue Fort Wayne (0-1) is seeking its first win after falling 90-71 at Grand Canyon on Monday. The Mastodons were led by DeAndre Craig’s 18 points and Corey Hadnot, who contributed 16 points and six assists in the loss.

Friday’s contest is the first of a two-game homestand for Ohio State, which will host Appalachian State on Nov. 11. Purdue Fort Wayne continues a challenging road stretch and will not play at home until Sunday against Dominican.

The game tips off at 7 p.m. EST at Value City Arena.
