Are the Buckeyes going to be playing all of their home games in the Covelli Center this year?

I was trying to figure out all he venues y'all have. What's supposed to be he home basketball arena?

The Schottenstein Center or Value City Arena.
St John's is the old basketball arena.
The Covelli is new, and is primarily for Wrestling, Volleyball and Gymnastics.

Not a scintillating display of basketball there. Couldn't shoot or defend the 3.

Turns out they were bumped for a hockey game, which is frankly absurd.

Why not make the hockey team play in the old rink, where the women play?

I attended the first event at Covelli, and when they unlocked the door for the first time I b-lined for the restroom only to discover that one of the employees had dropped a deuce in the commode without flushing. GD bastards at OSU can't even provide a clean restroom in a brand new building that is literally unlocking its doors for the first time.

So we're at four arenas? The Schott is Value City, right?

I'd assume it comes down to two things. 
1. There are no fans, so as long as the TV setup fits, they could do it in the rec center.
2. Hockey has a crapload more junk to haul. You don't have to load a truck with pads and skates. 

I'm trying to figure out, is the court from an old NCAA tournament? Women's tournament?

The old ice hockey rink just sticks out the side of St John's. It hardly qualifies as a fourth arena. It has seating, but the locker rooms and concessions are all in St John. There is an old indoor Track sticking out the other side of St John as well.

It is a pretty cool place to watch a game, and there is this certain spot in the back corner where you can peer through a wall and watch what goes on with the Zamboni between runs. Mostly a lot of cleaning and filling, but still interesting.

Let's see. San Francisco beat Virginia. Richmond beat Kentucky. Makes me feel better about OSU getting all they wanted from UMass-Lowell and Michigan struggling with Oakland.

San Francisco and Richmond are both legit.  Richmond has three NBA caliber dudes.  No depth, but great top end talent.

Sport, man. They're fun.

5-1 foul differential at the first tv timeout, and an 11-3 deficit.  Must be our annual December loss to Duke

Looking a lot better now.
