This is one of three games being held at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, as WVU’s 7 p.m. tip-off against the Buckeyes concludes the night.
At 1:30 p.m., is Ohio vs Davidson, and then at 4:00 p.m., it is Akron vs St. Bonaventure.
Ohio State is off to a 10-2 start and is 3-0 in neutral site games this season. Ohio State’s two losses have come at home against Texas A&M, and on the road against Penn State. The Buckeyes currently rank No. 28 in the NET, meaning this will be WVU’s second Quad 1 game of the season.
