Congratulations on an incredible run @gregwrubell and @DurrantMark. The 1997 Hawaii Rainbow Classic 🏝️ was my first road trip with @BYUMBB. We watched some hoops and snuck in a few rounds of golf. ⛳️ Hard to believe it's been 30 years fellas. Here's to the next 30! 🤙

Buckeyes are 18th in preseason KenPom ratings, ranked 23rd by CBS Sports, 24th by Blue Ribbon Yearbook.
Tough test for the AP-No. 25 Cougs.
