The Buckeyes will open conference play in early March, as the Buckeyes welcome Iowa to Columbus for a three-game series March 6-8. It will mark the earliest that Ohio State has ever hosted a Big Ten contest.
After Iowa, Ohio State heads to West Lafayette, Ind. for a series vs. Purdue March 13-15. The Buckeyes then have an off weekend March 20-22 before returning home for a three-game set against Michigan State March 27-29.
In April, the Buckeyes travel to Minnesota (April 3-5) and Michigan (April 10-21) in back-to-back weekends before hosting Penn State April 17-19. To close the regular season, the Buckeyes travel to Oregon (April 24-26) and host Washington (May 1-3).
