NEW YORK — A year removed from a loss in the national title game, Ohio State has a championship trophy to carry home.

Never mind that it is from the NIT. Jamar Butler and his buddies could not care less.

Butler had 19 points and eight assists in his final college game to lead the Buckeyes to a 92-85 win over Massachusetts on Thursday night,, prompting the victory celebration inside Madison Square Garden that they could not have last year in Atlanta.

The Buckeyes lost to Florida in the Final Four but never dwelled on a snub by the NCAA selection committee that kept them from playing for another trip there. They dominated each of their four opponents on the way to New York, then had enough at the end to withstand every run the Minutemen could muster.

"This is continuing a rebuilding of the program," Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. "It feels good after what we went through last season."

Kosta Koufos added 22 points in earning the tournament's most outstanding player award. Evan Turner finished with 20 for the Buckeyes (24-13), who reached the preseason NIT title game but were run out of the Garden by Texas A&M.

Ricky Harris scored 27 for UMass (25-11), hitting three three-pointers in the closing minutes to help the Minutemen stay close.

The last of them made it 77-75 with 3:13 left, but Othello Hunter scored moments later, and after Harris missed another three-point attempt at the other end, Butler drained a three-pointer from the wing to give Ohio State some breathing room.

LONDON — Athletes around the world will be subjected to out-of-competition tests for human growth hormone in the lead-up to the Beijing Olympics, marking a potential breakthrough against one of the most widely abused doping substances in sports.

David Howman, director general of the World Anti-Doping Agency, said Thursday that newly produced HGH testing kits soon will be distributed to accredited doping labs around the globe to screen blood samples for the banned performance-enhancing hormone.

An improved HGH test also will be in place during the Aug. 8-24 Olympics. The IOC says about 4,500 tests overall will be conducted during the Beijing Games.

Production of the kits has started and they will be available in a matter of weeks.

CINCINNATI — Bengals receiver Chris Henry lost his job Thursday while in jail awaiting arraignment on assault charges.

The Bengals released him after his fifth arrest since 2005.

An attorney for Henry, 24, entered not guilty pleas for him after Henry was accused of punching an 18-year-old man in the face and breaking his car window with a beer bottle.

Municipal Court judge Bernie Bouchard set bond at $51,000 on charges of misdemeanor assault and criminal damaging.

Noting Henry's previous arrests involving drugs, guns and alcohol, the judge called Henry "a one-man crime wave."

Bouchard ordered electronic monitoring if Henry makes bail.

Bengals president Mike Brown said in a statement that Henry, an often brilliant receiver who would be in his fourth pro season this year, had forfeited his career with the club.

"His conduct can no longer be tolerated," Brown said.
