Ohio State basketball schedules UConn Huskies next two seasons

Ohio State's home-and-home with the UConn Huskies that will start in 2026-2027 arrives at a time when the Buckeyes continue to re-shape their roster as they continue to upgrade their expectations. For Jake Diebler , this very well could be his defining offseason. The Buckeyes have lost five players to the portal, including double-digit scorer Devin Royal .

And in response, the head coach has aggressively put together his roster with incoming transfers. Headlined by former Cal and Michigan guard Justin Pippen , who averaged 14. 2 points and 4.

6 assists last season. Ohio State was also able to nab Kentucky forward Andrija Jelavic , and guards Jimmie Williams and Curtis Givens III. Coming off a loss in the first round of the NCAA tournament last season, fans of the program will be expecting progress in the program and that starts with a deeper run.

UConn, meanwhile, continue to roll under Dan Hurley. The Huskies were in the National Championship game last season, ultimately losing to the Michigan Wolverines . Dan Hurley's team will be returning a lot of the talent that were on the team last year including Braylon Mullins , Silas Demary Jr.
