Although there was not a lot to be determined from the brief open practice, it was very encouraging to hear what Coach Burt told the good turnout. "Ready for Ohio State " was the key statement. The team looked a bit quicker than last year. They didn't shoot particularly well but the coach noted that in his last talk to the fans after the 15 minutes. The team had practiced earlier in the back gym. Should be an exciting team. The talent is there.
