Yes, projecting NCAA Tournament brackets are now a year-round ordeal — especially if your name is Joe Lunardi. One of the most well-respected and well know bracketologists, ESPN’s Lunardi is a must-follow in February and early March as things get closer and closer to the postseason, but he works year-round, even in the offseason.
Last time we checked in with his bracket projections, he had Ohio Stae as a No. 5 seed, but it appears he has changed his tune just a wee bit and has now elevated the 2020-2021 Buckeye basketball squad up to the No. 4 seed line.
That would potentially make Ohio State a top fifteen to top twenty squad meaning it would more than likely be in contention for the top of the Big Ten.
So where and who does Lunardi have the Buckeyes playing?
Here, just a mere nine months away from the next NCAA Tournament, Ohio State is placed in the East Region, matching up with No. 13 seed Belmont in Providence, Rhode Island.
