No. 6 Michigan State had little trouble with Toledo, rolling to a 91-61 win in East Lansing behind a balanced attack. Freshman Jasiah Jervis led the way with 16 points, igniting the offense early, while Jordan Scott stuffed the stat sheet with 12 points, nine rebounds and five assists. The Spartans paired sharp shooting with physical rebounding and controlled the game on both ends, the kind of comfortable tune-up a top-10 team wants in the season's opening stretch.

The night's more lopsided result came in Columbus, where No. 18 Ohio State's women demolished Central Michigan 103-36. Jaloni Cambridge put up 23 points, eight assists and three steals, and her sister Kennedy Cambridge chipped in 16 points and five steals as the Buckeyes' pressure defense turned the game into a rout almost immediately.

A 67-point margin and a freshman-led blowout won't tell either program much about March, but both ranked teams did exactly what they were supposed to do: win big, spread the minutes, and let young contributors build confidence before the schedule stiffens.
