COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Being run ragged by Radford's smaller players, Ohio State found success with a four-guard lineup.
The change sparked a 10-0 run that gave the Buckeyes the lead for good and held down Raymond Arrington, whose hot start had given the Highlanders an early seven-point edge.
After switching to a zone defense that used one player to chase Arrington, Ohio State quickly opened up a double digit lead in the second half and cruised to a 96-80 victory Monday night.
After scoring 18 points in the first half, Arrington got just nine after halftime for the Highlanders (2-7).
Sean Connolly scored 20 points and Velimir Radinovic added a career-high 19 points and eight rebounds. Brent Darby had 19 points and eight assists, and Williams had 14 points for the Buckeyes.
