It’s time for all the mayhem to begin. Ohio State kicks off its NCAA Tournament journey on Friday at 3 p.m. against the Summit League Tournament champions, Oral Roberts. The Buckeyes are the No. 2 seed, and the Golden Eagles a No. 15 seed after getting hot at the right time to get the automatic bid from its conference to enjoy all the fun.
The game was originally set with the Buckeyes being favored by 16.5 points, but since has moved just prior to tip down to 15 points according to the popular BetMGM Sportsbook.
OSU is coming off of a run all the way to the Big Ten Tournament championship game and will try to keep the momentum going with a quick start to the one-and-done-format. However, it’ll have to do it without the services of senior team captain Kyle Young.

All that matters now is the ability to survive and advance no matter what the score. As we see every year, some close shaves have occurred only for a team to get past a white-knucker to make a very deep run.
