How to Watch Ohio State Basketball in Big Ten Tournament on Peacock

The Ohio State men’s basketball team faces a crucial game in the Big Ten tournament that could determine their NCAA Tournament fate. Seeded 10th, the Buckeyes will play against No. 15 Iowa at 5:30 p.m. in Indianapolis. This game, along with the other two first-round matchups, will be shown exclusively on Peacock, the streaming platform owned by NBC.

As selection Sunday approaches, analysts are divided on Ohio State’s chances. A win against Iowa could significantly boost their odds of making it to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2022. However, a loss might end their hopes.
