CINCINNATI (AP) — Ohio State held on for a 64-56 victory over Cincinnati, spoiling the Bearcats’ return to their on-campus arena.
Kaleb Wesson scored 15 points, and C.J. Jackson hit a driving bank shot and a pair of free throws in the final 30 seconds.
The Bearcats played last season at Northern Kentucky University — losing only once — while their on-campus arena underwent a 20-month, $87 million renovation.
