San Diego State holds off Ohio State in the first significant test of the season for the Buckeyes.
LAHAINA, HAWAII – Sean McNeil was cooking. Ohio State, having trailed by double digits was rolling. San Diego State, the No. 17 team in the country, suddenly looked vulnerable.
Still down 12 a few moments later, McNeil scored seven straight for the Buckeyes and nine of their next 11, whittling the lead down to 51-47 and getting the Ohio State contingent roaring. But after his contested jumper set the deficit at four points with 13:28 to play, freshman Brice Sensabaugh lost Micah Parrish at the other end.
With the Ohio State fans chanting"defense!" and the San Diego State fans screaming, the Aztecs broke through first with another Parrish 3-pointer to go ahead by 10 and again keep the Buckeyes at bay. Sensabaugh added 15 points, becoming the first Ohio State freshman to score in double figures in his first four games since Kosta Koufos in the 2007-08 season.
