The men's basketball team is far removed from all the drama surrounding the football program as the team began a 10-day trip to Spain on Wednesday.
The Buckeyes arrived in Madrid and took a guided tour of the city on Thursday, including the Puerta Del Sol and Plaza Mayor – two of the city’s main squares. They also got to see the world's second-largest bullfighting arena.
The team got to its first taste of the cities culture and people. Here are some sights and sounds from the early portions of their trip, courtesy of Ohio State athletics and their various social media accounts.
