Oden, Ohio State to face UNC next season
Posted May 3, 2006
Ohio State, featuring one of its best recruiting classes, will travel to North Carolina early next season in one of the top games of the eighth annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge. The Buckeyes, including incoming 7-foot freshman Greg Oden, lose four starters and their top two scorers from last year's team that went 26-6 and won the Big Ten regular-season title. North Carolina, led by freshman Tyler Hansbrough, returns most of its best players from a squad that went 23-8.
