He hasn’t played yet, but may have a chance to play once gets more practice time.

Coach Bill Brown on Ohio Christian: “They really push the ball hard, and they have some athleticism. The percentages say while we need to push the ball to get some of our best scoring opportunities, we can’t get in an up-and-down game with them. If we push the ball, we’ve got to make sure we’re making the kind of defensive transition back that’s not going to let them score.”
