The Ohio State men's basketball team hit the road Wednesday night to take on Duke in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. And while the Buckeyes came up short in an 81-72 defeat, there were definitely some encouraging signs for Chris Holtmann's team.

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss a few of their big takeaways from the game, and what it could mean for the Buckeyes as they get ready to tip off Big Ten play in a little over a week.
