Eleven days after their last Big Ten game, the Buckeyes are back in action against a conference foe Thursday as they head to Minneapolis for a date with the Golden Gophers.
It’s been nine days since Ohio State played a game at all, as COVID-19 issues postponed the Buckeyes’ scheduled matchup with Nebraska this past Saturday, but their upcoming opponent has been no stranger to similar snags as of late. Minnesota canceled a meeting with Penn State last week due to a COVID outbreak in the program, but pulled off a win against Rutgers on Saturday, 68-65, despite a number of critical absences.
