Ohio State Buckeyes Basketball: Looking Ahead to 2026

The Ohio State Buckeyes men's basketball team is the focus of the latest Big Ten preview. Last season, the Buckeyes finished with an overall record of 21 wins and 13 losses, securing a 12-8 record in conference play, which placed them eighth in the Big Ten standings.

Following a 21-13 overall record and an 8th-place finish in the Big Ten at 12-8 in conference play last season, the Ohio State Buckeyes men's basketball program is gearing up for its 2026 campaign. The team's performance in the previous year sets the stage for expectations as they aim to improve within the competitive conference landscape.

The Buckeyes' 2025 season saw them achieve a winning record both overall and within the Big Ten. Their ability to secure 12 conference victories demonstrates a level of competitiveness that will be a foundation for their upcoming season. The challenge now lies in building upon this success and potentially climbing higher in the conference standings.

💬 SideLine Take

While a winning conference record is respectable, finishing eighth in the Big Ten suggests Ohio State is more of a middle-of-the-pack team than a true contender until they show consistent improvement against top-tier opponents.
