"They're great teams," Ohio State's Taylor Thierry said of this week's opponents, UCLA and USC.
Ohio State opened the season against USC , and behind the efforts of the national freshman of the year Juju Watkins , the Trojans defeated the Buckeyes 83-74. In December, the Buckeyes lost a home matchup against UCLA 77-71. The Buckeyes will face both USC and UCLA on the road this season, during a West Coast road trip at the beginning of February.
In 2023-24 conference play, Ohio State won its first Big Ten regular-season title since 2010 with a 16-2 conference record.
After being knocked out in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten tournament as the No. 1 seed, falling to Maryland 82-61, the Buckeyes also saw an early exit in the NCAA March Madness tournament with a loss in the second round against the Duke Blue Devils, 75-63.
