If you blinked, you might have missed the non-conference portion of Ohio State's season.
On Thursday, the Buckeyes play their final game before Big Ten play begins. Ohio State hosts UNC Asheville at Value City Arena.
Outside of one glaring blemish — an inexplicable overtime loss to Florida Atlantic — the Buckeyes' non-conference slate has gone fairly well. Ohio State currently sits at 9-3 with two of those three losses against No. 2 UCLA (neutral court) and No. 12 Virginia (on the road). The Buckeyes have a pair of top-100 wins as they have home victories over Providence and Connecticut.
