Chris Holtmann Discusses Ohio State's Exhibition with Dayton, Importance of Mental Health

Ohio State basketball is still 20 days away from its official opening, but the public's first look at the squad comes in just five.

The Buckeyes take on Dayton on Sunday in a contest centered around promoting mental health awareness.

Chris Holtmann expects to do plenty of experimentation and learn plenty about his team from the scrimmage, which Holtmann feels will only be a "really positive thing." He also discussed the importance of the charity component of the exhibition, which is for adolescent and young adult suicide prevention.

  • Holtmann opened his press conference by discussing the opportunity that both teams get to spread mental health awareness in Sunday's exhibition game.
