Ohio State men’s basketball has jumped up a spot in Joe Lunardi’s updated bracketology.
Lunardi has Ohio State as the No. 5 seed in the Midwest Region which will take place in Indianapolis, only a few hour drive from Columbus. He has the Buckeyes facing Grand Canyon in the first round.
Kansas is the No. 1 overall seed in this region, and Kentucky is slotted in at No. 2.
Should Ohio State win its first-round matchup against the 12th-seeded Antelopes, it would draw the Texas A&M Aggies, the 4th seed in the region. The Aggies are the only team to beat Ohio State this season.
The Buckeyes kicked off their season with a win over the then-No. 19 Texas Longhorns. They went 1-2 in their first three games and have rattled off their last three straight.
Revamped, reloaded, and ready to go.
