Ohio State scored 100 points for the second consecutive game Monday night, but Doug Gottlieb’s Green Bay team pushed the Buckeyes for 30 minutes until the dam eventually broke. Bruce Thornton scored a season-high 25 points, and he spoke to the media after the game.
Bruce talked about his preparation for every home game — he reads his Bible in the morning, gets Subway for lunch, takes a short nap, and wears his lucky socks and shoes. He said nothing was different on Monday. He just happened to come one assist shy of a 25-point, 10-assist double-double.
Sean Stewart also spoke to the media after an 11-point, eight-rebound performance over a season-high 22 minutes. He said he was glad to be able to play after missing the last game with a concussion, and took time to talk about how well he and Devin Royal work together on the floor.
Both head coaches — Jake Diebler and Doug Gottlieb — spent the majority of their time gushing about Thornton. Diebler said his point guard is the best in the country. Gottlieb said Thornton is his favorite Ohio State point guard since Scoonie Penn.
