WATCH: Social media recap of Ohio State basketball in Puerto Rico

In the weeks leading up to Ohio State's football season, the Buckeyes are busy preparing for their upcoming winter basketball campaign. One of the strategies employed by Jake Diebller's team is to embark on an overseas trip, and for this year, they chose to visit Puerto Rico. While the trip was brief, the creative team behind Ohio State basketball provided a two-minute and 40-second video recap that offers a glimpse into their time on the island.

The video captures various aspects of the trip, from enjoying the local food and culture to hosting a camp for island residents. It also includes highlights from the team's scrimmages, which featured some impressive dunks. Overall, the video showcases the team's camaraderie and their commitment to honing their skills before the winter season begins.

As the media debates Ohio State's potential for the 2026-27 season, some are beginning to view the team as a dark horse. The highlights from the Puerto Rico trip suggest that the Buckeyes may outperform their preseason expectations.
