COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- An ACC/Big Ten Challenge game at Duke and a home game against Kansas highlight Ohio State's 2012-13 men's basketball schedule before the Buckeyes open and close Big Ten play at home.

They begin league play on Jan. 2 against Nebraska and end it on March 10 against Illinois, with both games at Value City Arena. Ohio State has won the last three Big Ten regular-season titles, along with two of the last three conference tournament titles.
