After a dominant win over Marquette, the basketball Buckeyes are back in business, taking on the American Eagles of the Easton Mall Patriot League. The Eagles, at 1-1, are struggling to score this season, which probably means this is the absolute worst time to face the abject terror of a defensive team the Buckeye project to be (ask Marquette). American will try to use their Princeton Offense to shorten the game and generate high percentage looks to give themselves a shot.
