Ohio State men's basketball has not won March Madness in three straight years .

The Jerome Schottenstein Center will open its doors this year for its 27th season as the home arena for the Buckeyes .

Last year , Ohio State ranked ninth in the Big Ten with an average of 10,938 fans per home game.

The Buckeyes are investing in changing up the in-arena experience.

“Once you get that project off the ground, then then that's where you can really look at, OK, what happens?” Removing the need to play hockey inside Value City Arena would open up some more seating possibilities that could help create a more natural basketball feel, but any such developments are nothing more than concepts and projections at this point..
