Ohio State's Comeback Bid Falls Short As the No. 7 Buckeyes Lose 83-74 to No. 21 USC at the Hall of Fame Classic

Ohio State's comeback bid fell short.

After countless come-from-behind wins in 2022-23 — including a historic 24-point comeback vs. Indiana in the 2023 Big Ten Tournament — Ohio State almost started its 2023-24 season with another resurgent win, as the Buckeyes overcame a 19-point deficit in the second half but suffered an 83-74 loss to No. 21 USC at the Hall of Fame Classic in Las Vegas.
