Looking for an early-season tune-up for its young squad, Ohio State opens its basketball season against Oakland and longtime head coach Greg Kampe on Monday.
The Buckeyes open their 2023-24 campaign in Value City Arena with a mid-major opponent, taking on Oakland of the Horizon League in a game they hope will serve as a tune-up for their new-look team.
The last NCAA Tournament appearance for Oakland came in 2011, which was also the last time it won the Horizon League. It should provide a nice tune-up for Ohio State before the Buckeyes take on their first ranked opponent of the season in No. 15 Texas A&M on Friday. “Greg’s one of the all-time great guys in our profession,” Holtmann said. “Greg Kampe is a really good coach, he’s won a tremendous number of games. They play a unique style; really talented, athletic kids who can impact the game in a lot of different ways. ... Always been impressed with him and the way he coaches.
