The Ohio State men’s basketball team, prepping for its second season under head coach Chris Holtmann, held its annual media day Wednesday, including a tour of some of the upgrades the facility at the Schottenstein Center has received.
The facility features the new Evan Turner Hallway with various displays to honor past Buckeye greats, in addition to new coaches offices at the Schott. Turner, one of Ohio State’s top players of all time, donated about $500,000 for the project.
Some photos of the upgrades and the new offices can be found below.
