Ohio State men's basketball will throw it back to the early 1990s on Saturday when the Buckeyes host UCLA at the Schottenstein Center.

The Buckeyes will debut their scarlet Jim Jackson-era throwbacks during Saturday's matinee matchup against the Bruins. Ohio State donned these uniforms from 1987 through 1996, a period highlighted by the rise of Jackson and his historic All-American seasons in 1990-1991 and 1991-1992. 

Ohio State previously brought back the all-gray uniforms from the same period in 2013, which have become a staple alternate uniform for the program since then. 

The Buckeyes host the Bruins at the Schottenstein Center with tip-off set for 1 p.m. The game will be televised live on CBS.
