Ohio will face-off against Eastern Kentucky as part of the ESPNU BracketBusters event.
The Colonels (13-9) are currently in sixth place in the Ohio Valley Conference. The game will be played at Alumni Coliseum on Feb. 21 at a time that has yet to be determined.
The Bobcats (10-10, 3-4 MAC) haven't faced Eastern Kentucky since Dec.14, 1989 when Ohio defeated the Colonels 53-52 in Richmond, Ky and have beaten the Colonels in both their previous meetings.
Eastern Kentucky is 8-2 at home and have already defeated Akron and Ball State this season. The Bobcats are just 2-8 on the road.
Ohio is 3-2 in the five seasons it has participated in BracketBusters, but is just 1-2 on the road in these games.
