Buckeyes face arduous games at Michigan State, Tennessee
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- No one is criticizing this Ohio State team for playing a weak schedule, that's for certain.
The Buckeyes have two games this week. The first is Tuesday night at No. 11 Michigan State, perhaps the toughest venue in the Big Ten with fans seething to get back at them after they came in and stole games each of the last two years. ...............................................
excerpt: The Buckeyes must find a way to get 7-foot freshman center Kosta Koufos more involved in the game. Koufos, who prefers to play away from and facing the basket, has been getting pushed and shoved whenever he comes close to the paint. So far, he has yet to push and shove back as Big Ten centers learn to do to survive and succeed.
"The Big Ten is a league of physicality," he said. "I just have to get my mind right for every game and stay within myself and play through everything."
