The Ohio State basketball team has added a game home game to the schedule to partially make up for three games that were canceled during its three-week COVID-19 pause. The game will be held on Tuesday, January 18, at 7 p.m. EST against IUPUI. It will be telecast by the Big Ten Network.
The Buckeyes had to shelve three games because of an increase in COVID-19 cases within the program in December. In addition to the game against Kentucky in the CBS Sports Classic, OSU also had to cancel home games against UT Martin and New Orleans. Holtmann had recently stated that the program was working on trying to schedule another home game to try and make up for the lost game action.
It’ll be a busy week next week with the addition of the extra game. Ohio State will host Penn State on Sunday, observe Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Monday, then host IUPUI Tuesday, before playing Nebraska at home on Saturday the 22.
UPDATE: We've added a game to the schedule and will play IUPUI on Tues, Jan. 18. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. on BTN.
The game will be included for season ticket holders and more information will sent by the ticket office via email. https://t.co/3oQBg9uYnw

Getting this extra game could be important for Ohio State as it continues to not only improve but maybe even get some guys back that have been recovering from injury.
