It’s easy to look past an unranked opponent when the one after that is not only the No. 3 team in the country, but is also your nearest and dearest rival.
Ohio State basketball head coach Chris Holtmann met with the media Wednesday afternoon ahead of the Buckeyes’ matchup against an unranked Penn State on Thursday at 8:00 p.m. ET. Right off the bat, he was asked if his team was looking ahead to Sunday’s rivalry game against No. 3 Michigan. Without hesitation, Holtmann put that speculation to rest, adding that Penn State will be one of their biggest challenges of the season.
