The Ohio State Buckeyes will take the court Monday evening in the Hall of Fame series in Las Vegas.
They will be facing the No. 19 Texas Longhorns, who were ranked a top-20 side via the AP Poll, a poll in which Ohio State also garnered some top-25 votes but didn’t quite crack the list.
At T-Mobile Arena in Nevada, fans in Columbus are going to have to stay up late for this one as it has a 10 p.m. EST tip. However, it is on national television and is being aired on TNT and truTV.

The Buckeyes have a promising roster and a young, hungry head coach, typically a good combination for success in college hoops. They also have several transfer players who bring experience at the highest level in the country.
Center Aaron Bradshaw is coming from Kentucky, and guard Meechie Johnson spent last season with South Carolina, also in the SEC, where he averaged 14.1 points per game.
