Men's Basketball: Ohio State accepts NIT invite, will host Cornell in first round

Ohio State, the No. 2 seed in the National Invitation Tournament, is set to host No. 7-seeded Cornell in the first round Tuesday.  Ohio State learned its next opponent just hours after the university announced Jake Diebler would lose the interim title and take over as the program’s full-time men’s basketball coach. The Buckeyes started the season off 14-11 while going just 4-11 in Big Ten play. However, Ohio State positioned itself for the NIT with Diebler at the helm, which included winning six of its final eight games.
