"My excitement about our new basketball practice facility is overflowing," Robinson said. "I can't wait to move and get our student-athletes access to their new home. This facility will not only ease our logistical burdens but will serve as a showpiece for our program."
"The new facility is a game-changer for us," Rueck said. "It will allow us to operate and meet the needs of our student-athletes in ways we never have and will be a vital tool in allowing them to become the best basketball player they can be."
The OSU Basketball Center is a 34,500-square-foot, four-story, $15 million structure that features two regulation basketball courts on the first and third floors along with locker rooms, satellite training and medical areas, and service and mechanical space.
