Those disappointed by the cancelation of Buckeyes on the Blacktop will still have a chance to watch Ohio State's men's and women's basketball teams before the start of their seasons.
After Buckeyes on the Blacktop was postponed due to inclement weather, Ohio State has organized a "Meet the Teams" night featuring both the men's and women's programs on Thursday at 5 p.m. at the Schottenstein Center. The event will be free and open to the public.

Ohio State's "Meet the Teams" will serve the same purpose as the Buckeyes on the Blacktop event that was postponed, as mentioned above, but in an indoor setting. Last year's Buckeyes on the Blacktop event featured a scrimmage and games from the teams, including slam-dunk and 3-point contests.
Ohio State men's and women's basketball both tip off their seasons on Nov. 6, with the men facing Oakland and the women taking on USC in a neutral-site game. The women enter the 2023-24 season ranked seventh in the country by the Associated Press, while the men are unranked.
