Ohio State Players Attend Beyoncé and Jay-Z Concert in the Horseshoe

It's been a long, tiring week for the Buckeye community, none more than the players.

Not only has the team been dealing with the typical trials of preseason camp, they've been struggling through the uncertainty of their head coach's job status while he's investigated.

But the players got a much-needed break on Thursday afternoon when instead of regular team meetings, the team got to go to the OTR II tour featuring Beyoncé and Jay-Z, with Chloe x Halle and DJ Khaled opening.

Interim head coach Ryan Day shared the good news with them earlier in the day:

#BuckeyeNation it's time to get in formation

The Bucks are in the building.

The team will return to reality on Friday, but I'm sure the break was much needed and greatly appreciated.
