Ohio State Buckeyes Men's Basketball History

Ohio State first fielded a basketball team in 1898 and played its games through 1919 at an on-campus building known as the Armory. In 1912, the Buckeyes joined the Big Nine conference. Four years later, the league was rechristened as the Big Ten, its current name.

Over the years, Ohio State has been guided to success by several notable coaches, including Fred Taylor, who helmed the team between 1959 and 1976, and Jim O'Brien, whose tenure stretched from the late '90s to the early '00s. Future NBA greats (and Basketball Hall of Famers) John Havlicek and Jerry Lucas, as well as 2010 Naismith College Player of the Year Evan Turner, have also passed through the program. The Buckeyes' main competitors tend to be their fellow Big Ten members, although their biggest rival is the Michigan Wolverines.

Currently coached by Chris Holtmann, who took over in the 2017-'18 season, the Columbus-based Buckeyes have made 11 appearances in the NCAA Final Four, winning the championship in 1960 and taking home two NIT championships, in 1986 and 2008.

Ohio State Buckeyes at the Schottenstein Center

The Buckeyes play in the Value City Arena at The Jerome Schottenstein Center (often shortened to the Schottenstein Center), which opened in 1998 and is the largest arena in the Big Ten, seating 19,500 for basketball. Appropriately, the school boasts a vocal, robust student fan base that cheers on the team in a section known as the Buckeye NutHouse.

    NIT worth it

    by Doug the fan on 3/28/24Schottenstein Center - Columbus

    I think that it was great that you can buy extremely reasonable priced tickets (20-25$) for the NIT tournament that were close to the court. It's a great venue all the time, but affordability depends on the event.

    NIT BASKETBALL

    by TOMMY BOY on 3/27/24Schottenstein Center - Columbus

    Had to exchange tickets. 2 for 3. Call Ticketmaters to exchange. Agent was very helpful. Took maybe 5 minutes. Getting better at viewing my tickets, since every venue is going cashless.

    by Dan on 3/26/24Schottenstein Center - Columbus

    My family and I went to the OSU Men's NIT basketball game against Virginia Tech ...we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. From the Shuttle Bus , to entering the Schott, to the Red Coats in the Huntington Club everyone made us feel valued. The Spirit in the arena was great and the Bucks delivered with a win. Go Bucks!!!!

    The Schottenstein family experience

    by BJJ on 3/26/24Schottenstein Center - Columbus

    I highly recommend the Schottenstein centnter for any event. Today was particulary special because I was able to bring my 2.5 year old to his first Buckeye basketball game. The staff was beyond friendly, inclduing the stand that sold us the soft pretzel, which my son dropped and with no hesitation gave us another one at no charge. The usher offered headphones when they saw my son get antsy when the crowd noise increased. I also found the areana extremely clean. Highly recommend visisting the Schott.
