COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Buckeyes will play one game this weekend against in-state opponent Ohio University. This will be the second time the Buckeyes meet the Bobcats this season.

The Bobcats are 4-3 overall entering this weekend, 1-1 in their conference, with losses recorded to Kent State, No. 2 Duke and Boston University.
