Sophomore forward Cotie McMahon's 18 points are part of the reason the No. 13 Ohio State Buckeyes lead the Boston College Eagles after two quarters of play.

The No. 13 Ohio State Buckeyes hold a 29-point lead over the Boston College Eagles after two quarters of play, 55-26.

Leading the way for the Buckeyes in the box score is sophomore forward Cotie McMahon with 18 points on 6-of-7 shooting from the floor.

Three Ohio State players have scoring totals in double-figures at the end of the first half: McMahon (18), junior forward Taylor Thierry (16) and graduate guard Jacy Sheldon (11). Thierry's five rebounds through the first 20 minutes are not only a team high, but a game-high as well.

Ohio State's lead over Boston College is not only relegated to the scoreboard. The Buckeyes also hold statistical advantages over the Eagles in team shooting percentage (71 percent to 44 percent), points off turnovers (25 to 10), and points in the paint (40-12), among others.

The Scarlet and Gray have been dialed in from beyond the arc so far through the late-week contest. Ohio State is getting shots to go from deep 67 percent of the time, having swished two of their three attempts in the first half.

Boston College leads Ohio State in just one stat category: free-throw percentage (75 percent to 67 percent). The Eagles are tied with the Buckeyes in bench points with eight each.
