The Big Ten released each of its college basketball teams' conference matchups on Thursday, which means Ohio State can begin sinking its teeth into a more tangible outline of the 2021-22 season schedule.

Check out our thoughts on each of the matchups below, and then head over to the Horseshoe Lounge to discuss all things Ohio State.
