The Big Ten Tournament is about to embark upon its championship game on Sunday and that means many of the conference’s teams have turned the page towards where they’ll be heading in the postseason. For the Big Ten, as many as nine teams are projected to be in the NCAA field and that means most of the teams are anxiously awaiting the brackets reveal on Sunday after all of the conference tournaments have concluded.
For Ohio State, it’s a lock to be in the field of 68, but the projected seeding has tumbled after losing four of the last five and bowing out of the Big Ten Tournament after just one game in which No. 11 seeded Penn State got the best of OSU down the stretch of the game.
But where do the major bracket projections have the Buckeyes now? Will they be relegated to the flip-of-a-coin No. 8 vs. No. 9 seed game, or will they be a little higher? Is there any chance OSU falls further below that?
Let’s take a look at what some of the most followed NCAA Tournament projections have Ohio State and where and who it might play when all the madness begins next week.
