THE BASKETBUCKS ARE BACK. Ohio State has a men’s basketball team, too!

The Basketbucks will host IU Indy for their season opener on Monday. The Buckeyes and Jaguars will tip off at 6:30 p.m. inside Value City Arena. The matchup will be broadcast behind a big, bad paywall on BTN+.

For those who plan to attend the game in which Ohio State is a 29.5-point favorite, according to ESPN Bet, you will have “an upgraded experience” at the Schottenstein Center. That’s what athletic director Ross Bjork and his associates called it in a press release the school shared last week.

“From a new court, to new lighting, to better sound and new food offerings, there will be plenty for fans to explore,” the press release reads.

Here’s a look at all the new stuff:

New Court -- The newly redesigned Ohio State basketball court introduces a recognizable visual update that blends modern aesthetics with nods to tradition. The most noticeable change is the gray hardwood floor. The unique look will set the tone for a refreshed game day atmosphere at the Schottenstein Center.
At center court, fans will see two distinct marks including the traditional Block O and the signature Script Buckeyes featured on the men’s Clark Kellogg era alternate uniforms. These two logos allow for a dynamic visual identity for marquee matchups while maintaining a strong connection to the program’s heritage. For more on the new court, click here.
New Sound System – Since the Schottenstein Center opened in 1998, the sound system had only undergone minor updates and adjustments. Over the summer, the Schottenstein Center installed a completely new system which features several new speaker locations for fuller and more consistent sound throughout the arena. The quality and clarity will be a significant difference from previous years.
Buckeye Fan Cave – The Buckeye Fan Cave will be a new experience at the Schott for fans of any age to enjoy. The new space will allow fans to create memories with friends and family by playing a mix of new and old games. The Buckeye Fan Cave features gaming systems from past to present as well as Bubble Hockey and arcade style games. The area will continue the Schottenstein Center’s focus on providing new and unique experiences for fans to enjoy during breaks in the action.
Concession Upgrades -- The food experience is getting an upgrade this season with many new menu items to try throughout the arena. From a Hot Chicken Texas Toast Sandwich to all new Burrito Bowls and specialty burgers, there’s plenty of new options this season. This year will also include the launch of a feature item that will be an oversized, over the top item that fans won’t want to miss.
Coming Soon: East Market -- A new dining experience is coming to the Schott. Food Hall’s popularity has swept the nation for their casual and social environment. Coming soon, the East Market (located near Section 131) will feature a variety of local restaurants offering their own recipes. Restaurants will rotate throughout the season, so come support local restaurants and try the tastes of the East Market. The Market will continue to offer a Grab N Go experience as well as desserts and a full-service bar.
New Ticket Options -- New this season, Buckeye fans can take advantage of a new ticket package called the Buckeye Bundle! With the Buckeye Bundle, fans can purchase a ticket to select games that includes $10 of value to spend at the concession stands during the game!

Regarding the new court, it is one, very cool:



And two, already a promotion tactic for Ohio State, as the Buckeyes will hand out a double-sided replica mini-court to the first 1,500 fans and first 500 students in attendance for the season opener:



Be there or be square!

What are the new food offerings? It may make no difference. I don’t feel that the food at OSU games in general is particularly good quality. It seems highly processed and not very fresh especially for the money they charge. It seems to me they have made everything worse over the years. They should probably just get Roosters to take over all concessions and we'd be set.
