Ohio State forward Evan Ravenel scored 11 points and grabbed seven rebounds in a 64-35 win over Texas Pan American. Ravenel played 20 minutes, nearly nine minutes over his average, in a game that Jared Sullinger sat out due to back spasms.
Ravenel is the first big off the Buckeye bench, but his contributions may be limited for a team that plays a short bench. Ravenel will most likely have Dallas Lauderdale-like production at best, and will be used mainly to rebound and defend other team's posts.
