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: 5 out of 5 Rating: 1 out of 5 Stuck on 315 freeway
by Robert on 1/7/20Schottenstein Center - ColumbusI was disappointed in the parking for this event. It sold out and there was a problem with parking that many people. We were stuck in traffic for an hour and had a difficult time finding a parking spot. Because of this, we missed most of the 1st half.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Where's the band?
by Goldy on 1/6/20Schottenstein Center - ColumbusNo band at the Buckeye basketball game vs Wisconsin 1/3/2020. Just not the same without TBDBITL!
Rating: 1 out of 5 Rather not go back again...
by Nevadaracer on 1/6/20Schottenstein Center - ColumbusCramped seating and rows. Impossible to sit comfotably with a coat or food/drinks. Place was clearly built to maximize seats without regard to comfort. Scoreboards should be sponsored by optomtrists as it is a eye test to see the score. Youcan see the masdice logos for both teams, butforget seeing the score, timeouts left or fouls. Overall a terrible experience my family and I am not likely to repeat.

by S. A. on 3/17/19Schottenstein Center - ColumbusEasy to find parking and getting into arena. Staff was friendly. Seats were good, good access to restrooms and concessions. Game itself was a little disappointing since OSU did not win. Exciting last 5 minutes minutes and OT.
