It was a fun Saturday in Atlanta with the latest installment of the annual CBS Sports Classic, and Ohio State was more than willing to add to the environment.
It was a bit of a rock fight between the UCLA Bruins and the the Buckeyes on Saturday afternoon, but it still made for a physical, entertaining — albeit low scoring — game. OSU was ultimately able to get some mild breathing room at just the right time close to the end of a game for a 67-60 victory.
The event has become one of the best on Ohio State’s schedule, and it made for some fantastic photos that we are here to share with you. Here are some of the best high-resolution pictures of the Buckeyes’ win over the Bruins on Saturday.
