Lancers get Buck'ed by Ohio State University By Chris Kerr
Sports Editor September 9, 2009 The Lancers Men’s basketball team got “Buck’ed” in their first two pre-season games against Ohio State University and learned a tough lesson in the process.
 The NCAA Division 1 Buckeyes schooled the Windsor Lancers in front of a packed St. Denis Centre crowd on both nights of the exhibition matches.
“Clearly we are not a top 25 D1 team,” said Lancer Head Coach Chris Oliver, “Ohio State beat us up in both games.”
Oliver admitted that his team knew going in that they were playing a much better team, but it came as good practice and preparation all the same. >> | Lancers snatch hardware at Summer Games By Chris Kerr
