COLUMBUS, Ohio -- JaeSean Tate scored 21 points and pulled down 10 rebounds as Ohio State overcame cold shooting and some ugly play to beat North Carolina Central 69-63 Monday night.Ohio State (2-0) struggled for much of the game and let the Eagles hang around. The Buckeyes shot just 46.4 percent from the floor and were lucky to get away with the victory over the less-talented Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference team.We just didnt come out ready to play today, Tate said.Fortunately for the Buckeyes, North Carolina Central (0-2) was sloppier, committing 20 turnovers and losing two players to fouls, including point guard Dajuan Graf.Patrick Cole carried the load for the NCCU with 26 points. Ron Trapps added 12 points and a team-high seven rebounds.Freshman center Micah Potter added 11 points on 3-for-4 shooting from the 3-point line for the Buckeyes, and Keita Bates-Diop had nine.I didnt like a whole lot of what I saw tonight, Ohio State coach Thad Matta said.Ohio State led 31-29 after a slow start by both teams in the first half. The Buckeyes had a 12-0 run and led by as much as 21-11 with 9:17 left in the first, but allowed North Carolina Central to slowly climb back. The Eagles briefly had a lead until Tate hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to end the half. They cut the lead to five with 40 seconds left.Hats off to Ohio State. They made some significant plays at significant time, NCCU coach LeVelle Moton said. I thought we did enough to win the basketball game.North Carolina Central led 32-31 with 18:46 to go in the game, but the Buckeyes slowly pulled away.Weve got Providence next, and if we come out like that its not going to be pretty, Tate said . We know from last year that these early games count. We cant just be lackadaisical. We have to come out there and be the first team to punch the other in the mouth.Ohio State starting forward Marc Loving sat much of the first half after picking up two fouls in the first 1:15 of the game. He finished with three points.BIG PICTURENorth Carolina Central: If theres such thing as a moral victory, the Eagles got one by staying with the Buckeyes for most of the game. In the end, the best the Eagles got from the trip to Columbus was a chance to hone their game against a more-talented team. They nearly pulled off the upset.Ohio State: The Buckeyes were put on notice that this years version still needs a lot of work. Fortunately there are more tune-up games before conference play begins after Christmas.QUOTABLEWe werent physically and mentally very tough, Matta said. Obviously, we have to get that corrected.LYLE STRUGGLINGStarting point guard JaQuan Lyle sat most the second half Monday in favor of C.J. Jackson. He finished with five points.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Mired in a four-game skid and their playoff hopes dwindling, the New York Jets shook things up.Geno Smith is in at quarterback. Ryan Fitzpatrick is out.Now, Todd Bowles bunch will see if any of it can make a difference when the Jets (1-5) take on the Baltimore Ravens (3-3) at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.I think its an opportunity for all of us to go out there and try to get a win, Smith said. Were on a four-game losing streak. No one likes it. Its a bitter taste in our mouths.We just have to put together some good practices, build momentum up into the game and then go out there and just play recklessly, play hard with a reckless abandon and do whatever we have to do to get this victory.That was the thinking for Bowles when he decided to switch from Fitzpatrick , who had thrown an NFL-leading 11 interceptions and just five touchdowns in the Jets first six games.New York ranks 26th in overall offense and is last in the NFL in scoring with 15.8 points per game and red zone offense with eight TDs in 22 trips inside opponents 20-yard line (36.4 percent).Hopefully it creates a spark, Bowles said. It gives (Smith) the opportunity to play. Were 1-5 and we havent shown any signs of progress on offense, so I made the change.John Harbaugh and the Ravens -- who have dropped three straight -- entered the week expecting to see Fitzpatrick, but the coach didnt seem too concerned about seeing a different quarterback.It wont change a ton, because I think the offense is going to remain, essentially, the same with what they do, Harbaugh said.It will nuance a little bit in certain directions. We didnt hear that until right at the end of practice out here (Wednesday), but we already put in some stuff that we thought would be more Geno Smith-oriented-type things.Here are some other things to know heading into the Ravens matchup with the Jets:HOWS JOE?: Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco missed the teams first two practices of the week with a right shoulder injury, but he expects to play.Flacco said his shoulder was sore and thought rest would help him be ready. He was injured during the Ravens 27-23 loss to the New York Giants last Sunday and didnt feel any pain until after the game. Flacco added that the MRI results showed nothing to worry about.Its possible, Harbaugh said, that Flacco could sit out practice the entire week and still play. If not, Flaccos backup is Ryan Mallett.Id say hes day-to-day, Harbaugh said of Flacco. In my mind, hes a goo.ddddddddddddBACK TO NEW JERSEY: A scheduling quirk has the Ravens playing in New Jersey for a second straight Sunday. Theyll hope to escape with a split after losing to the Giants 27-23 .Going there, coming back, and going right back -- Ive never done that before, receiver Mike Wallace said. I think it will be better for us the second time, because we know exactly what to expect, we know exactly how it is going to go. It wasnt a bad trip at all. We went on the train, and it was about two hours. It wasnt bad.NEW CREW: In Smiths previous start for the Jets in the 2014 regular-season finale at Miami, a 37-24 win, he completed 20 of 25 passes for a career-high 358 yards and a perfect 158.3 passer rating.None of the eight players who caught a pass from him that day is on the Jets active roster.Eric Decker is the only one even still on the team, but is on injured reserve with a shoulder injury and also had hip surgery earlier this week. Jace Amaro (Tennessee), Jeff Cumberland (San Diego), Zach Sudfeld (free agent), Jeremy Kerley (San Francisco), Chris Owusu (free agent), Chris Ivory (Jacksonville) and Chris Johnson (Arizona) are all elsewhere.LACK OF SACKS: The Ravens are expected to be without career sacks leader Terrell Suggs (biceps ) and Elvis Dumervil (foot), who had a team-high six in 2015.That leaves veteran tackle Timmy Jernigan and young linebackers Matthew Judon, Kamalei Correa and ZaDarius Smith to pick up the slack.Ill be excited to see those guys play, Harbaugh said of the inexperienced trio of LBs. I really am looking forward to it.The Ravens have 11 sacks this season, including five by Suggs and three by Jernigan. Judon, Correa and Smith have yet to collar the quarterback.GROUNDED: Since entering the NFL in 2008, Jets running back Matt Forte has 13,171 yards from scrimmage -- 8,962 yards rushing, 4,209 yards receiving -- the most in the league during that span.But after a solid start with 196 yards and three touchdowns on 52 carries in his first two games with the Jets, Forte has run for just 164 yards and no TDs on 50 carries in the four games since -- including a season-low 19 yards on nine carries Monday night at Arizona.
