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 to its current name as the Big Ten.

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 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.

The Columbus-based Buckeyes have earned 31 appearances in the NCAA March Madness tournament, making 10 advancements to the Final Four and winning the national championship in 1960. Meanwhile, Ohio State has played in the National Invitation Tournament 10 times, taking home titles in 1986 and 2008 and advancing to the quarterfinals in 2024.

  • Worst place in America to go to a college game

    by MuirfieldCaddie on 2/18/10Schottenstein Center - ColumbusRating: 1 out of 5

    My friend Brandon and I bought $10 "top six" tickets. The view from the second to last row was okay but not worth more than $10. At halftime, we saw an entire row of empty seats about fifteen rows below us. We asked the people behind those seats if anyone was sitting there and if they minded if we did. They said no one was sitting there and feel free to take the seats. A few minutes after we sat down, an usher from that section (319) asked for our tickets and rudely pointed at us and told us to move. He acted very seriously like a police officer. These seats we moved up to were still in the upper deck; it's not like we took Jim Tressel's seats. The usher said we had to move because "it was almost sold out," even though nobody had sat in the row for the entire first half. We politely moved, but the usher in section 319 failed to reciprocate our tact. We go because we're big fans and this usher acted like we we're trespassing. It is unfortunate that the University has employees who treat their fans like this. The people who do have the good seats show little emotion during the game and the student section is a joke. As long as the Ohio State basketball experience is like this, their games will be "almost sold out" for a long time.

  • Ouch

    by LoveBucks on 2/18/10Schottenstein Center - ColumbusRating: 5 out of 5

    Painful - literally. Just unbelievably painful. I think I'll get a root canal ( it is hard enjoying seeing your Buckeyes loose when you are in pain - dentist says I need a root canal - really ).

    by CubbieGurl on 2/18/10Schottenstein Center - ColumbusRating: 4 out of 5

    Boiler Up!!!! Even though our seats were in the upper bowl, we had a great view of the court. Being a Purdue fan lost in a sea of red was exciting..

  • Buckeye Hopps blast

    by Best1954 on 2/9/10Schottenstein Center - ColumbusRating: 5 out of 5

    The seat was terrific and it is easy to get these tickets printed at home. I like the ease of it all and the price was only $9 above the listed price of the ticket vs. other vendors that charge a fortune.

  • Turner's performance awesome
