Ohio State 2014-15 men's basketball schedule released

According to Bob Baptist of the Columbus Dispatch, the 2014-2015 season schedule for the Ohio State men's basketball team has been released 24 hours ahead of schedule. As of now, there are no tip off times or TV networks designated to show the games, but there will be a release later this year giving the details on those.

The Buckeyes will play two games (one home and one away) against Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Penn State, and Purdue. Ohio State will host Illinois, Maryland, Nebraska, and Wisconsin, but won't have to face those teams on the road. On the other side, Thad Matta and his team will hit the road against Minnesota, Northwestern, Rutgers, and Michigan State but won't play those teams in Columbus this season.
