CCSU-Ohio St. Preview

(AP) -- Ohio State's success largely has been predicated on defensive prowess, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have its share of offensive weapons.

The fifth-ranked Buckeyes look to continue their solid start when they host Central Connecticut State on Saturday.

With defense-first senior point guard Aaron Craft as the catalyst, Ohio State (7-0) ranks third in the nation in points allowed at 54.3 per game and sixth in defensive field-goal percentage at 35.9.
