Division II Findlay edges Ohio State in exhibition game

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Marcus Parker scored 18 points to lead Findlay to a 70-68 victory over Ohio State on Tuesday night, the second time in a week a Division II school beat a Big Ten team in an exhibition game.

On Saturday, Grand Valley State beat No. 8 Michigan State, the conference preseason favorite, 85-82 in double overtime.

The Big Ten made headlines this way to start the football season when then-No. 5 Michigan lost 34-32 to Appalachian State from the Football Championship Subdivision.

Jamar Butler hit a 3-pointer with 1:52 left to bring the Buckeyes, who have one starter back from the team that lost to Florida in the national championship game in March, within 70-67. He later made a free throw with four seconds remaining to pull the Buckeyes within two points, but Ohio State was unable to regain possession as time expired.

Morgan Lewis had 15 points and Josh Bostic added 13 for the Oilers.

Butler finished with 22 points and Kosta Koufos added 20 for the Buckeyes in their final exhibition game. They open the regular season on Nov. 12 against Wisconsin-Green Bay in the NIT Season Tip-Off.

Freshmen Greg Oden, Mike Conley Jr. and Daequan Cook all left Ohio State after last season for the NBA.
