Ohio State will, in fact, play a game this week.
The 15th-ranked basketball team was slated to have an eight-day break between Saturday's win at No. 10 Wisconsin and the Jan. 31 home matchup with Michigan State. Instead, the Buckeyes will play host to Penn State on Wednesday in a newly-scheduled game that will tip off at 7 p.m. at the Schottenstein Center.
Ohio State's game versus the Nittany Lions in Columbus was originally supposed to go down on Jan. 6. However, COVID-19 positive cases within the Penn State program forced the team to postpone several games, including the one intended to take place in Columbus a couple of weeks ago.
