Ohio State vs. Morehead State basketball preview, prediction, and odds

Ohio State welcomes Morehead State to the Covelli Center for game three of the young season. We’ve got your preview and prediction.

Key Player For Ohio State

Guard, Duane Washington, Jr. – Washington is Ohio State’s best shooter. He can be a really zone buster if he gets his feet set and lets the game come to him in a game like this. If he does, the offense will get him a volume of shots. From there, he needs to show what a weapon he can be by knocking down outside shots and penetrating when given the shot. Again, with Washington, it’s all about staying within himself and not going off-script. Once he learns that, he’ll be much better as a player, and the team will benefit.

Key Player to Know for Morehead State

Forward, Johni Broome – The freshman from Tampa, Florida is quickly emerging as the biggest scoring threat for the Eagles. He’s averaging 14.0 points and almost eight rebounds per game. At 6-foot, 10-inches, he has the height to create mismatches out on the wing or isolation post-ups. His game is still evolving but he likes to do a lot of work in and around the lane and takes high percentage shots. He’s scored 11 points against Kentucky and is coming off of a 25-point performance against Arkansas State.
