Of note, Ohio State basketball announced the majority of its nonconference schedule on Monday. #GoBucks

With basketball, we only get teh finalized schedule a mere months before the season begins and that’s the case again with the Ohio State basketball program.

On Monday, the majority of the Ohio State basketball schedule was released so it’s this winter is beginning to come into focus a little more. A couple of the game swere already reported, but now we have official confirmation from the program.

Ohio State basketball Big Ten opponents announced

Which of these games are you the most excited about? #GoBucks

While we all take a collective breath in-between the end of basketball season and what seems like years before the start of another football season, the Big Ten dropped some news Wednesday dealing with the basketball team’s conference opponents for the upcoming 2024-2025 season.

The conference decided to stay with a 20 game conference schedule, even with the inclusion of the new West Coast members, Oregon, UCLA, USC, and Washington, so it’ll mean less home-and-home matchups this year.

In fact, Ohio State will only face three schools twice during the regular season. Only Indiana, Maryland, and Nebraska will be a part of a return trip for all involved.

In addition to that, the Buckeyes will welcome Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, Oregon, Rutgers and Washington to the Schott, and will travel to play on the road only to Purdue, Illinois, Minnesota, Penn State, UCLA, USC and Wisconsin.

All of these games will result in the standings that determine the 15-team only conference tournament, meaning three teams will be left out. As more information comes out on the Ohio State basketball schedule, we’ll have it for you.

Ohio State basketball officially reveals 2023-2024 nonconference schedule

Mark your calendars. #GoBucks

We’ve heard bits and pieces come out already, but the Ohio State basketball program officially unveiled its 2023-2024 nonconference schedule on Tuesday.

“This is the best and most challenging overall schedule we have put together in a few years,” said Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann in a release. “We have a preseason Top 15 opponent coming to the Schottenstein Center in the early part of the year, a couple of preseason Top 25 teams away from home and several good regional mid-major programs in the nonconference. This is all in addition to our tremendous home slate of Big Ten opponents.”

The Buckeyes will break the seal on the season against Oakland on November 6 at home. OSU will remain at home for three more games against Texas A&M (Nov. 10), Merrimack (Nov. 15), and Western Michigan (Nov. 19) before hitting the road for the first time in the Emerald Coast Classic in Niceville, Florida. There the Buckeyes will do battle vs. Alabama on November 24 and then play either Oregon or Santa Clara on November 25.

Ohio State’s last contest before its conference opener will take place at the Schottenstein Center opposite Central Michigan on November 30 before a Big Ten contest yet to be confirmed the following weekend. There is also a game against Miami (OH) that will still be determined as well as the matchup in the CBS Sports Classic that involves OSU, UNC, Kentucky, and UCLA, in Atlanta on Saturday, December 16. The opponent will most likely be either UCLA or Kentucky, though that is still to be confirmed.

Ohio State will finish up the nonconference part of the slate, with a game against New Orleans at home on December 21 and a neutral site contest vs. West Virginia in Cleveland on December 30.

Ohio State basketball opponents and locations announced for 2023-2024 season

We now know which Big Ten teams Ohio State will play twice, and which it will play just once this season. #GoBucks

We’ve kind of been focused on dissecting what we saw during the Ohio State spring and also looking ahead to Buckeyes in the 2023 NFL draft coming this weekend, but we received some basketball news today.

The Big Ten conference dropped information on scheduling Tuesday. It wasn’t a complete and solid schedule of sorts, but instead, a release of which teams will play each other home-and-away, and what teams will play each other just once at which venue.

And in the case of Ohio State, we can tell you that the Buckeyes are set to play Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Penn State, Rutgers, and Wisconsin each twice at home and on the road. That leaves the remaining six teams just once during this winter’s Big Ten slate.

So which teams will come to the Schott and who will OSU visit on the road only? The Buckeyes will host Illinois, Maryland, and Purdue in Value City Arena only, and will travel to play Iowa, Michigan State, and Northwestern without any return trip to Columbus.

Ohio State is looking to keep the momentum going from what we saw during a postseason run in the Big Ten Tournament, one that at least washed away a pretty bitter taste of a very disappointing season. As the schedule continues to materialize, and when definitive times are announced, we will bring those to you.

Big Ten announces Ohio State basketball conference opponents for next season

Here’s how the opponents line up for Ohio State basketball conference opponents this season. #GoBucks

We’re still months away from the start of the Ohio State basketball campaign for 2022-2023, but we got a peek at what the Buckeyes’ Big Ten slate will look like this winter.

The conference announced its conference schedule for the upcoming season, and we found out that OSU and all of its Big Ten brethren will play a 20-game conference schedule once again. The Buckeyes will play home-and-home series against Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan State, Northwestern, Purdue, and Rutgers. Ohio State will have home games only against Minnesota, Penn State, and Wisconsin, and will hit the road without a return trip home against Indiana, Michigan, and Nebraska.

More details will continue to emerge with Ohio State’s basketball schedule when the season gets closer, including game times and dates. As that all materializes, we’ll have it for you.

Ohio State basketball complete nonconference schedule released

Here we go! The complete nonconference OSU hoops schedule has been released. Which game excites you the most?

Included within the news of season tickets going on sale for the 2021-2022 Ohio State basketball season, was a release of the complete nonconference slate. We of course received some tidbits and details of some of the venues and opponents leading up until now, but the complete nonconference schedule was confirmed by the Ohio State Department of Athletics Thursday.

Ohio State kicks off the season against in-state opponent Akron on Nov. 9. Also highlighted are games in the Fort Myers Tip-off on Nov. 22 and 24 against two of the other teams in the tournament — California, Florida, and Seton Hall (still to be determined).

The other two big games on the nonconference schedule include a game at Xavier in the Gavitt Games on Nov. 18, the Big Ten/ACC matchup vs. Duke on Nov. 30, and a game against Kentucky in the CBS Sports Classic on Dec. 18.

You can find the entire nonconference schedule below:

Ohio State is expected to have a great chance at making some noise in the Big Ten and on the national stage this season, and a schedule made up of so many big-time matchups will provide a good indication of just how good the team will be early in the season.

ESPN’s matchup predictor curiously goes wrong way with predicting some of Ohio State basketball’s remaining games

The ESPN matchup predictor curiously goes in the wrong direction with some predictions with Ohio State basketball’s remaining schedule.

OK. We’re a few games further along in the Ohio State basketball season and it feels like another good time to check in with what the ESPN matchup predictor says for each and every remaining game on the Buckeyes’ schedule.

It’ll be an interesting look because OSU has won some games the worldwide leader in sports had going in the loss column previously. That means things should have adjusted a little with the metrics and mad-scientist algorithms that go into these sorts of things.

I mean, Ohio State is now in the top five of both major polls and are approaching the thin air of a potential one seed if things hold up the way they have over the last few weeks. Yeah, but, you’ll see that’s not exactly what happens.

But I digress and come back to the task at hand. Here is every remaining Ohio State basketball game predicted by ESPN’s matchup predictor, with a running end of the year conference and overall record. It is curious the way things moved to say the least.

Ohio State basketball announces its complete 2020-2021 schedule

Ohio State basketball released its complete 2020-2021 men’s basketball schedule Wednesday. There are 5 non-conference and 20 Big Ten games.

We finally have what we hope is the finished product when it comes to Ohio State basketball’s 2020-2021 schedule. With the coronavirus pandemic turning many tournaments and locations upside down, it’s been an issue figuring out what was going to stick. Already in the not too distant past, the Buckeyes pulled out of the Crossover Classic in South Dakota because of concerns over a surge in COVID-19 cases there.

Alas, the OSU athletic department released the entire schedule that consists of five non-conference games and twenty Big Ten contests. The season gets started just one week today when the Buckeyes host Illinois State at the Schott at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 25. That game will be nationally televised by either ESPN2 or ESPNU.

The last non-conference game is a road contest against Notre Dame on Tuesday, Dec. 8 as a part of the already announced ACC/Big Ten Challenge. The Big Ten season then tips off December 16 and will run through March 6.

Here is a complete rundown of the schedule:

2020-21 Ohio State Men’s Basketball Schedule

Nov. 25 – Illinois State (2 p.m., ESPN2 or ESPNU)

Nov. 29 – UMass-Lowell (4 p.m., BTN)
