Ohio State's road to the Final Four began on Friday afternoon in Cleveland, and the top-seeded Buckeyes easily moved one step closer to Houston.
William Buford played one of the best games of his illustrious career as the junior swingman scored 18 points, grabbed 6 rebounds, and dished out 5 assists.
The Buckeyes, though, are the furthest thing from a one-man show. In addition to Buford's remarkable performance, Jon Diebler scored 14 and Deshaun Thomas, 13. Jared Sullinger also tallied 11 while finishing one rebound shy of a double-double.
Texas-San Antonio managed to remain competitive early in the contest, but OSU went on an 11-0 run minutes before halftime. Ohio State led, 37-21, at the intermission, and UTSA's hope of a historic upset was gone.
The Roadrunners then became roadkill in the 2nd half. The Buckeyes outscored their opponents by a 33-11 count during the 2nd stanza's 1st 14 minutes.
Devin Gibson led Texas-San Antonio with 24 points, but no other Roadrunner scored more than 6.
