In case you haven't heard, there is a pretty big football game in Columbus this weekend, but there is also an opportunity to watch some basketball on Saturday as well.
Ohio State basketball coach Chris Holtmann is opening up practice to the public on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., ahead of the football team's showdown with Penn State at 3:30 p.m.
Admission is free for fans, and concessions will be available for purchase in the lower bowl of Value City Arena. The doors are set to open at 10 a.m. and parking will be available in the football day-of-game lots for $20.
The Buckeyes are set to open the 2017-18 season Nov. 10 at home against Robert Morris, following an exhibition game against Wooster on Nov. 5. Ohio State's full schedule can be seen below.
