Central hopes slipping away

Blue Devils trail Buckeyes 38-17 at the half. CCSU shoots 31 percent vs. 57 for Ohio State. Looks like the 16th seed jinx is safe here.

First half was a typical 1 vs. 16 or 2 vs. 15 game. (Last year's Albany-UConn game was NOT typical) Ohio State gets a lead and then is fairly tentative, but too good to allow Central to make a serious run.
