According to a report from Eleven Warriors, Ohio State will host Ohio University for an in-state preseason exhibition this year.

The Ohio State basketball team is firmly in the mix for a five-star talent but will have to battle some blue bloods to land a commitment.

As an Ohio native, Jake Diebler should make it more of a priority to play some of the best teams in the state. It's good for fans of college basketball, and it would be good for the Buckeyes, too.
