Otherland scrimmaged the Ohio State Buckeyes, Ohio State Buckeyes playing their bench, Otherland resting Falcao and Salas. A late run by Ohio State made it close, but Otherland had it in the bag the whole way through. Otherland outrebounded Ohio State 60-35, and shot 34-75 from the floor. New PG stuart Watt not much success, but he comes over via trade out of shape, so it'll take him some time to get into the full swing of things. Arthur Quigley, playing ahead of Salas for a rare start, showed why he was a stud last season, shooting 8-14, missing his only 3 attempt, going 2-6 from the line for 18 points, he added 19 rebounds (1 offensive), 2 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, and 4 turnovers. Belkhauous with a dominating performance as well, 8-13 shooting, missing 1 3 attempt, he added 22 rebounds (5 on offense) and 5 blocks, to go with his 16 pts and 5 turnovers.
Otherland hit 1 3 to Ohio States 8 3s, and turned the ball over 21 times. But too much rebounding, and high percentage shooting, was just too much for the Buckeyes as they lost the scrimmage 86-81. Saturday Otherland will be taking on deadtosin as the final league game before the allstar break. Julio Falcao, Paul Salas, Arthur Quigley, Zacharis Belkhauous, and Yim Chung Hui all trying to fight their way on to the allstar team. Odds are slim for any but Falcao.
