For the second straight game, Ohio State will take on a Big East opponent away from home. But for the first time this season, the Buckeyes will be tasked with responding to a loss.
Last Thursday's meeting with Xavier was Ohio State's first test against a major conference opponent this year, and also the program's first true road game with fans in the stands since March 8, 2020. The Buckeyes weren't quite ready for the challenge on either front and dropped a 71-65 contest that went down to the wire at the Cintas Center.
Now the Buckeyes have a shot at redemption in Florida against Seton Hall, as Ohio State will match up with the Pirates on a neutral floor as part of the Fort Myers Tip-Off.
