Ohio State's upcoming opponent, No. 5 North Carolina, has been upset at home by Wofford, 79-75 in Chapel Hill.
The Tar Heels were 25-point favorites against the Bulldogs, but trailed by as many as 14 before eventually falling to Wofford.
North Carolina shot just 36.4 percent from the field in the loss and last season's NCAA Tournament hero Luke Maye shot just 4-of-16 from the floor in the loss.
Ohio State and North Carolina are set to meet at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday in the CBSSports Classic set to be held in New Orleans.
