We went to this game for my dad's birthday and it was the best present he could have gotten. The unveiling of the banner for Coach Taylor had my dad in tears! I could not have asked for a better game!

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.

Rating: 4 out of 5by Pioneer on 2/1/10Schottenstein Center - Columbus I enjoy watching the Bux anytime. I would enjoy having access to the bottom bowl occasiionally though and replace some of the non-cheering attendees. The halftime recogntiion for '60 Natl Champ team and Fred Taylor's banner unveiled were outstanding. Nice to see the Bux team display some unselfishness with the extra pass, great ball movement and excellent shooting touch while the role models from '60s were watching; now doubt helped by staying out of foul trouble and keeping the key players on court most of the day. We have to work on execution at the free throw stripe though.

by bballfan1 on 1/17/10Schottenstein Center - ColumbusGreat Game. Sat in section 301 row P. Not a good place to watch the game. Price too high for the view. It was also Upward basketball night. I felt that the parents need to be closer to their children. It is very hard to let a 6 year old go and not be able to see them for several minutes. However, it is a good program. P J Hill and Dallas Lauderdale were wonderful. I would think that something like that should be done at an earlier game time. Timing is everything.

by Mudbone on 12/4/09Schottenstein Center - ColumbusAny chance to see THE Ohio State Buckeyes is a good one; but to witness history in the making was amazing. I win is always great but a win that clinches the Big Ten's first Big Ten/ACC Challenge is about as good as it gets.
