At 22-5 overall and 14-4 in conference play, the Buckeyes also clinched the No. 1 seed in the upcoming Big Ten Tournament – which begins on Wednesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis – by virtue of their 92-88 win over the Hawkeyes in Iowa City on Jan. 31.

This marks Ohio State’s 16th Big Ten regular-season championship, the most of any team in the conference, and their first since 2017-18, when they also went on to win the tournament title. It also extends head coach Kevin McGuff’s contract by one year through the 2023-24 season.
