Where does Joe Lunardi have Ohio State basketball in a way-too-early bracketolgy?

Yeah, yeah, we know football season hasn’t even started yet and it’s only late June, but the hardest working bracketologist, ESPN’s Joe Lunardi is always polishing up the crystal ball and looking ahead to project where college basketball teams will land in 2025’s NCAA Tournament.

And wouldn’t you know, he just recently updated his prognostications and has Ohio State in the field. It’s not a lofty seed mind you, but a seed nonetheless as the Buckeyes look to take some momentum from the end of last season into this one under new head coach Jake Diebler.

So where does Lunardi have the Scarlet and Gray? As of right now, he has them as a No. 8 seed in the East, facing No. 9 seed BYU. Getting an eight seed is never great in a game that’s two perceived teams that are almost equal, so let’s hope Ohio State surprises Lunardi and others with the new faces melding with the returning ones for the 2024-2025 season.
