Ohio State men's basketball excels on Puerto Rico trip against pro teams

The Ohio State men's basketball team recently completed an international trip to Puerto Rico, securing victories over two professional teams by a combined total of 78 points. Player performances were notable, particularly from Anthony Thompson, who averaged 13.5 points and 6.5 rebounds across the two games, while Justin Pippen averaged 13 points and contributed significantly in assists. The competition level was lower than what they will face in the upcoming Big Ten season, but the experience provided valuable game time before they resume training for fall classes. As the team prepares for the season, they will have limited recruiting opportunities until mid-August.
