Smith, Ohio State overwhelm Bryant

When opposing teams scout No. 2 Ohio State, they seldom notice Lenzelle Smith Jr. Buckeyes coach Thad Matta hopes they keep ignoring him.

Smith scored 19 points and No. 2 Ohio State pulled away early to beat Bryant 86-48 on Wednesday night.

Smith, a 6-foot-4 senior guard who does a little of everything, hit 6-of-9 shots from the field, including half of his four 3-point attempts. He had eight rebounds and three assists.
