We now know the matchup for Ohio State in the upcoming Fort Myers tip-off this coming basketball season. It was previously announced that the Buckeyes, Florida, Cal, and Seton Hall would be the four teams in the event, but weren’t given any indication on which teams would face each other.
Until now.
According to the Fort Myers Tip-off’s website, Ohio State will matchup with the Seton Hall Pirates, leaving Cal and the Florida Gators to face each other in the other game within the Beach division, both on Nov. 22. The winners of those two games will then face each other in the championship game in primetime on Nov. 24.
There is also a Palms division that includes Southern Utah, Yale, Milwaukee, and Bowling Green. That is a separate bracket that will crown a separate champion. Ohio State will not play any of those four.
Official game times will be announced at a later date.

Ohio State has had some success against Seton Hall in the past. The two programs have matched up five times in the past with the Buckeyes winning three of them. OSU won in 1960, 1995, and 2002 and lost against the Pirates in 1992, and most recently in 2003 by a score of 75-59.
