The game against No. 21 Northwestern was postponed Sunday — about an hour before the scheduled tipoff — after a presumptive positive test result came back during pre-game preparation according to a statement from Ohio State.
The game was originally scheduled to be played Sunday at 12:30 p.m. This is the fifth Big Ten game Ohio State has been forced to postpone due to COVID-related issues.
Big Ten Conference officials are evaluating options for rescheduling the contest.
It is still unknown which program the positive result came from.
The Buckeyes look ahead to a tilt with Purdue Thrusday at the Schottenstein Center.
Correction: The story was updated Sunday at 7:12 p.m. with the correct date for the Purdue game.
