The Mount St. Mary's men's basketball team heads to Ohio State for a Sunday afternoon matchup.  The game will air live on ESPNU at noon.

FIRST FIVE
1.   Mount St. Mary's fell to No. 3 Maryland, 80-56, on Friday night at the XFINITY Center.  BK Ashe scored 18 points while matching a career-high with seven rebounds in the game.  A hot streak from three-point range allowed the Mount to cut an 18-point first-half deficit to 38-32 late in the first half.  Ashe hit a three-pointer early in the second half to make it a 49-40 game before the Terrapins broke away.  The Mountaineers shot 10-of-33 from beyond the arc in the game.

2.  This is the second all-time meeting between the Mountaineers and the Buckeyes.  Ohio State won the first meeting, 102-63, on Nov. 27, 1989 in Columbus.

3.  Mount St. Mary's went 10-for-33 from three-point range in the season opener at No. 3 Maryland on Friday night.  The 33 three-point attempts were the most in a game since the Mount went 13-of-35 from beyond the arc at Notre Dame last year.  Nine of the Mount's top 13 single-game records for team three-point attempts have come under head coach Jamion Christian.

4. The Mountaineers are in the midst of a formidable schedule to start the season.  The Mount opened at No. 3 Maryland on Friday.  After facing the Buckeyes on Sunday, the rest of the month includes at Washington (Nov. 19), at No. 9 Gonzaga (Nov. 21), at Elon (Nov. 26) and vs. either Texas A&M-Corpus Christi or Furman (Nov. 27).

5. Up next, the Mountaineers head to Seattle to face the University of Washington on Thursday, November 19.
