One year ago, Ohio State saw its non-conference losing streak stretch to four games with a hard-fought, 64-58 home loss to No. 10 Virginia. The game saw the Buckeyes put forth perhaps their best effort of the early season only to come up short, and it came against a Cavaliers team taking the court without injured key playmaker London Perrantes.
Wednesday night at John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, Virginia, Perrantes will be in uniform for No. 6 Virginia as it hosts the unranked Buckeyes and coach Tony Bennett doesn’t want to think about the alternative.
