NCAA Basketball Schedule: No. 3 Ohio State Headlines Tipoff Week

The return of college basketball this week has a lot of promise for the Ohio State Buckeyes. OSU comes into the season rated No. 3 nationally. They are the Big Ten favorite and Jared Sullinger returns as a National Player of the Year candidate. Yesterday's blowout of Walsh showed that this is a team that can score points and bunches and should have an excellent season in the top five for most of the year. The Buckeyes headline this week's college basketball tipoff as teams from around the state of Ohio begin their seasons.

Here is the complete schedule of Division I teams from around the state as the college basketball season gets underway this week:
