Selection Sunday is upon us and our beloved Ohio State Buckeyes have been announced as the seventh seed in the South Region and their first opponent will be the tenth seed, Loyola-Chicago and the game will take place on Friday in Pittsburgh.
Despite losing four of their last five contests and being bounced from the Big Ten Tournament by Penn State in the second round on Thursday, hopes are high that the Ohio State Buckeyes can pull it together when it matters most. The Buckeyes face a tough opponent in Loyola-Chicago, who won the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament this weekend. The winner will take on the winner of the contest between the second and fifteenth seeds in Villanova and Delaware.
Here's something working in Ohio State's favor, in theory: Loyola is the ninth-worst offensive rebounding team in the tournament.
