COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) ? Late in the first half, with his team trying but failing to create any opportunities, Ohio State coach Thad Matta called a timeout. Deshaun Thomas scored 13 of his 19 points in what turned out to be a 17-2 run to end of the half, leading No. 4 Ohio State to an 82-60 victory over the Great Danes on Sunday in the Buckeyes' belated season opener. "When they announced we weren't going to play I looked at some of the crowd and some of the faces and I felt so bad that we didn't get to play," said Lenzelle Smith Jr., who added 18 points. Thomas, one of the stars of the Buckeyes' Final Four run last season, hit just one of his first seven shots and Ohio State trailed 23-22 late in half. Asked he was now the Buckeyes' go-to guy on perimeter shooting, Craft cracked, "Could you say that again, please?" Nodding to Thomas and Smith, he added, "These guys didn't hear you." Over the last 4:46 of the half during the Ohio State run, the Buckeyes hit 6 of 8 shots from the field to Albany's 0 for 4, didn't have a turnover and outrebounded the Great Danes 6-2. The contest was a first-round game in the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament.
