[QUOTE="IlliniFaninHoosierLand, post: 1816269, member: 85743"] EIU did keep it close for a half but Ohio State pulled away in the 2nd half and cruised to an easy win. As much as I like EIU, I thought the praise for the Panthers late in the game was a bit much. That's not to say that they can't be good, especially in an OVC that's going to look completely different now with Murray State and Belmont no longer in the conference. But they're going to have to lean on players like Hodges and Rose and if those two struggle then it could be another long season. They likely will get their first win of the season Monday as they take on Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, an NAIA school out of Terre Haute. It is one of the cooler games of the year though as it is their annual Kid's Day game, where local elementary and junior high school kids get to spend part of their school day going to the game. They'll face actual D-I competition again next weekend when they play in an MTE at Ohio U next Friday and Saturday against the Bobcats and Alabama State. [/QUOTE]
