It’s been seven years since Ohio State enjoyed a game like it had Saturday against St. Francis (Pa.). With 2:55 to play and the Buckeyes well on their way to a comfortable win against the Red Flash, freshman Felix Okpara stepped into a wide-open 3-pointer that he had asked associate head coach Jake Diebler to call for him. The 6-11, 220-pound center swished his first career 3-point attempt, pushing the lead to 94-57 and giving Okpara his first career double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds. It also made him the fourth Ohio State freshman to score in double figures against the Red Flash, joining Brice Sensabaugh (15 points), Bruce Thornton (13) and Roddy Gayle (10).
