WATCH: Ohio State basketball head coach Chris Holtmann previews Kentucky

Ohio State head basketball coach Chris Holtmann met with the local media in Columbus to preview the challenge of facing Kentucky.

It’s time for the next big challenge for the Ohio State basketball team. Already this year it has taken down Villanova and Cincinnati at home, and blew the doors off North Carolina in the Dean Dome.

Now, it travels to Las Vegas to roll the dice and try to knock off an athletically gifted — albeit inconsistent — Kentucky team.

Holtmann knows the challenge ahead will be a great one, with so much athleticism, length, and quickness Ohio State will have to contend with on both sides of the ball.
