The Buckeyes travel to Champaign Thursday to take on Kofi Cockburn and No. 15 Illinois.
In Cockburn, the Illini have one of the very best individual performers in the Big Ten conference, and Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann said Wednesday that the program as a whole ranks among the best in the conference at present.
"There's a lot of really good teams in this league and they're right there, for sure," Holtmann said at a press conference at the Schottenstein Center.
To hear everything Holtmann, along with sophomore guard Eugene Brown, had to say about their upcoming meeting with Illinois, check out the videos above and below.
