The sands of the hourglass are running out when it comes to the regular season. After a January many would like to forget in Columbus, the Ohio State basketball team has turned things around a bit, now winning four of its last five to get just one game under .500 in conference play.
The result has been a stabilization in some bracket projections that had the Buckeyes approaching bubble territory. Now OSU seems rather safe barring a meltdown down the stretch.
One such bracket that we have been tracking is the USA TODAY Bracketology one by Shelby Mast and Scott Gleeson. In the latest release, the Buckeyes are a No. 6 seed, right where they were last week when we last peeked in.
What is different however, is the region Ohio State has been placed in. Instead of the South, USA TODAY now has OSU in the East playing Virginia in round one.
You can get the complete list of teams by visiting the piece and taking a look. As of now, with the cannibalization of each other in the Big Ten, there’s really no shot for a No. 1 seed from the conference. However, there are currently eleven teams from the Big Ten projected in the field, pointing to an extremely deep pool of teams in the heartland.
