Despite losing four of its past five games before Selection Sunday, Ohio State is widely projected to be a No. 7 or No. 8 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
When the rage from scorned Buckeye fans begins to dissipate after the latest disappointing Ohio State loss, one simple truth will come into clear view.on Thursday, the Buckeyes will not miss the NCAA Tournament, and they’re likely to have a relatively favorable matchup in the first round – at least as far as seed lines are concerned.
Of course, none of those wins took place in March. They’ve been overshadowed by the Buckeyes' current skid, which has included perhaps their three worst losses of the season in quick succession: a 15-point loss to Maryland, an eight-point home defeat to Nebraska and Thursday’s early exit in the Big Ten Tournament, which came courtesy of the Nittany Lions. All three of those teams seeded no higher than No. 10 in the conference tournament.
The Buckeyes’ first-round opponent in that scenario would be a Virginia Tech team with a 23-12 overall record and 11-9 mark in ACC play, boasting wins over both Duke and North Carolina to win its first ACC Tournament title despite suffering nine losses to unranked teams in the regular season.as of Sunday morning, Ohio State will fall to a No. 8 seed on Sunday, matching up with No. 9 North Carolina in the first round in Fort Worth, Texas, in a Midwest region that would feature Kansas as the No.
