The team played its home games at Value City Arena in Columbus, Ohio, and is a member of the Big Ten Conference.

On March 14, 2010, the Ohio State Buckeyes won the Big Ten tournament for the first time since 2007, defeating the Minnesota Golden Gophers 90–61.

Ohio State ended the 2009–10 season with a loss to 6 seed and AP #15 Tennessee Volunteers in the Sweet Sixteen.

However, Ohio State kept their lead and pulled out a 68–51 win despite Player of the Year nominee Evan Turner only making 2/13 field goals.

With a couple made free-throws and great defensive plays, the Buckeyes punched their ticket to the Sweet Sixteen against Tennessee in St. Louis.
