COLUMBUS: Jeramie Simmons made two 3-pointers in a 10-3 run at the outset and Ohio State never trailed in beating Delaware State 70-42 Thursday night in its season opener.
David Lighty and last year's high school Mr. Basketball in Ohio, William Buford, each had 13 points. Simmons finished with 10.
Power forward Dallas Lauderdale had seven blocked shots and scored seven points.
Marcus Neal scored 14 points for Delaware State (1-4), coming off a 62-42 loss at Dayton on Wednesday night.
The game was played at St. John Arena, because the Buckeyes' home court at Value City Arena was hosting a concert featuring Reba McEntire and Kelly Clarkson.
The Buckeyes were ahead 35-22 at the half with eight players scoring. Behind their trapping pressure, they led by at least 20 points for most of the second half.
The Hornets finished with 20 turnovers to Ohio State's seven.
The Buckeyes scored 18 points off turnovers.
The crowd began chanting anti-Michigan cheers with Ohio State in command in the final minutes. The 10th-ranked football Buckeyes play their archrival Wolverines on Saturday.
The last time the Buckeyes had played in St. John Arena, they beat California a year ago while winning the National Invitation Tournament.
Coach Thad Matta, retooling without a senior on his roster, has two starters back from a team that went 24-13 a year ago.
Seven players were seeing their first action in an Ohio State uniform, including five freshmen.
