Ohio University defeated Youngstown State 68 to 59 in the opening of Beeghly Center. Youngstown showed promise against a bigger Ohio U squad as 5,700 fans watched the debut, with YSU facing jitters but potential for a stronger schedule and greater basketball support in the Midwest. Bellamy and NBA milestones are noted as broader context for scoring legends.
