Ohio State Hosts Bowling Green in First Meeting Since 2008

Ohio State’s third home game in a six-day stretch to start the new season will see Bowling Green take the court at the Schottenstein Center for the first time in 13 years.

The Buckeyes made it out of two tough tests against mid-major programs last week unscathed, defeating Akron and Niagara by a combined 11 points, and now the focus for Chris Holtmann and company turns to a Bowling Green team that finished fifth in the MAC last season with a 14-12 record overall.

Michael Huger is two games into his seventh season as the head coach at Bowling Green, and the Falcons are 1-1 after a nine-point season-opening upset loss to Western Carolina and a 41-point thrashing of Division III Ohio Wesleyan three days later.
