October 22nd - Charity Exhibition Game vs OSU at UD Arena

[Flyer Al]

The Buckeyes are coming to UD Arena for a charity game to benefit adolescent mental health and suicide prevention.


I think this will sell out in record time.

A wonderful way to honor Jayda and help the Grant family raise awareness. Good for Coach Holtmann.

I am so impressed by both schools committing to this. It would be great if somehow this morphed into an annual 4 team, 2 game event on an annual basis.

This is great on a number of levels.

I hope this becomes a new tradition. Doesn't always shave to be OSU either.

Darn I will be out of town that day.

Bedell confirms this will replace our usual "secret scrimmage" we do each other... We will still do one more non-DI game, like Capital or Cedarville, before the Season.

I guess this mean no one who attends can report on the score?

How will we ever find out who won.

[Lifelong Flyer Fan]

In case you aren't joking....this is an exhibition game. There is always reporting and box scores on ex games. I think this one might even be picked up by TV.

Any news if it will be on TV?

[Justin]

I'm guessing since its a charity game they will be limiting the amount of video recording (if my past non-profit work serves me)

So, I know what I am asking here, so be merciful and be kind.

I have this very special circumstances with a friend and family from very long ago, and the hardship between the parties is significant... Recently, the Holy Spirit has revealed to me that said friend has entered the Church and been practicing for Quite some time. This is somewhat younger family of four. Actually, the parents are older parents, but the children are still in their middle teens. They attended The Ohio State University with me as undergraduates (don't worry I am a UD alum and ticket-holder as well), and they live close to Columbus and their children love OSU.
I am wanting to invite this family to the Ohio State at UD game. As such, I am looking for four (4) very nicely located tickets to the game. Well, okay, six on the miracle end if you can. But I have two season tickets and the two teenagers could possible set elsewhere.

I will be very grateful for any opportunity. Words cannot describe what a meaningful and special occasion this would be. If you have anything available, please keep us in mind. Thank You!

Great to see other sports programs joining in to support Mental Health Awareness and Coach Grant’s and his family in their personal journey.

Somehow I was actually able to get this set up. Ready for the game...go UD!!

Why would there be a gambling line on a preseason, charity, exhibition game? Last night was about what I expected, let the guys who you know and are comfortable with get some time but mostly, evaluate the new guys. I suspect it was the same for OSU. My takeaways are:

1). Teams are going to double and triple DaRon (duh),
2). Cheeks can really shoot, (at least he could last night)
3). Bennett is a great on-ball defender
4). Mali looked good from movement standpoint, couple nice floaters but his shot looks rough, to be expected
5). Simon, Allen, and Santos all look very athletic. Jack seems to have pretty good hands and is a good rebounder. Petras is going to be very good, the question is...when.
6). Zimi needs to find a spot at the end of the bench.

Agree with your points. It's hard to conclude too much given how the game was played.

To me nbr 1 concern is inside scoring as we had almost zero paint presence with the starters in. We stayed in the game in the 1st half by shooting 50% from 3 and that won't happen on a nightly basis.

Nbr 2 concern is defense, especially in the paint as AG finds the best replacements for Camara. That's a gaping hole now that can be filled but it remains to be seen by who and how much of what Camara did can be replaced by Santos, Petras, Simon, Jack on a consistent basis.

#1-2 positives: Outside shooting and I loved the hustle from multiple guys on the boards (Santos, Petras, Jack).
