We are going to be following the Ohio State basketball's chances of making the NCAA Tournament as the season heads towards March because, well -- it's another bubbleicious season in Columbus. For most of the year, the Buckeyes have barely been in the field, according to Joe Lunardi, ESPN's well-known bracketologist, but as of late, OSU has slid off into danger territory as one of the first teams out.
However, after the dominant win vs. a ranked Wisconsin team at home this past week, Lundardi once again has Ohio State into the field, but barely. That does, in fact, come in line with most other bracketologists out there as well, but in honor of the winter Olympics currently going on, it's safe to say that OSU is skating on thin ice.
So, where does Lunardi have the Buckeyes at this point after all of the games of the past week? According to him, Ohio State is one of the last four teams in, meaning it would be a part of the First Four played in Dayton for a chance to move into the larger bracket.
He has them as a No. 11 seed in the South Region playing against No. 6 seed North Carolina, a team the Buckeyes probably should have beaten earlier in the season in the CBS Sports Classic.
Whatever happens today against Michigan State will change all of this, as will the remaining four regular-season games and the Big Ten Tournament results. We'll keep an eye on it all.
