No. 2 Ohio State Rolls Over Western Carolina, 85-60

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Jared Sullinger scored 17 points and No. 2 Ohio State came out of the blocks fast to beat turnover-prone Western Carolina 85-60 on Sunday.   Ohio State broke free from an early tie with an 11-0 run and were never headed. They led by as many as 35 points before substituting freely.

Mike Williams led the Catamounts (4-8) with 22 points, while Trey Sumler had 12 and Brandon Boggs 11.

Perhaps the most telling stat at halftime was that the Catamounts had 14 turnovers. They had 11 turnovers in their first 18 possessions to fall into a hole from which they never recovered.

The Buckeyes, meanwhile, didn't turn the ball over even once in the opening 20 minutes.
