About Ohio State Buckeyes Basketball

Ohio State men’s basketball has been a major name in NCAA Division I since the program was established in 1898, competing today in the Big Ten Conference. The Buckeyes own 1 NCAA Championship (1960) and have reached the Final Four multiple times, including runs that ended in the national title game. Across generations, Ohio State has featured standout figures like Jerry Lucas, John Havlicek, Jim Jackson, and Evan Turner, building a tradition that makes Buckeyes basketball one of the conference’s most recognized programs.

On game day, Ohio State plays at Jerome Schottenstein Center (Value City Arena) on the Ohio State campus in Columbus, Ohio. Opened in 1998, it holds approximately 18,500 for basketball and is one of the largest on-campus basketball arenas in the country. The atmosphere ramps up fast—especially when the scarlet-and-gray crowd is in full voice and the “Nut House” student section is driving the energy.

Big Ten basketball is built on rivalries, and Ohio State’s schedule delivers. Matchups with Michigan, Indiana, Michigan State, and Illinois consistently bring extra intensity and ticket demand, often tied to conference positioning and NCAA Tournament implications.
