COLUMBUS, Ohio - A share of the Big Ten title is on the line when the Ohio State men's basketball team wraps up the regular season at home Tuesday against Illinois at 9:00 PM.
Day-of-game $10 tickets go on sale at 8:oo AM Tuesday.
Thanks to a win over Michigan on Saturday and Sunday's loss by Purdue to Michigan State, a win for the Buckeyes (23-7, 13-4) would secure at least a share of the 2010 Big Ten regular-season title, the 17th for Ohio State.
The Buckeyes will be attempting to win Big Ten titles in football and both men's and women's basketball in the same year for the third time in five years (2006, 2007), something no other Big Ten team has accomplished.
The game also will be the final for seniors Kyle Madsen, P.J. Hill, Jeremie Simmons, Danny Peters and Mark Titus, who will be recognized during pregame ceremonies.
Nationwide Insurance will become the presenting sponsor of the Memorial Tournament, beginning with the 2011 event, the insurance giant, tournament officials announced Friday.
The Buckeyes made it look easy in their season opener, manhandling Marshall 45-7, but know it won't be that easy next Saturday, when the 13th-ranked Miami Hurricanes come to Ohio Stadium.
Guillermo Barros Schelotto scored a 98th-minute penalty kick and the Columbus Crew reached their first U.S. Open Cup final since 2002 with a 2-1 overtime semifinal victory over short-handed D.C. United on Wednesday.
Like a sure-footed runner eluding tacklers, Ohio State head football coach Jim Tressel avoided weighing in on an ongoing controversy over rescheduling the OSU-Michigan game to some time other than the final weekend of the regular season.
