Everyone is heaping praise on the Ohio State basketball team at the moment. From the official national polls (that still don’t mean a whole lot), to opinion polls, to hit-pieces on the interweb, the Buckeyes are impressing a lot of so-called experts with their run of six wins in seven games in the big, bad Big Ten.
As we get closer and closer to the stretch run of the regular season, it feels like a good time to cozy up to some of the bracketologists out there to see where they have Buckeyes in the NCAA field should the season end today. One of the most popular of course is ESPN’s Joe Lunardi and his famed Bracketology.
And while he had OSU around a No. 5 seed early on in the season, he now has the Buckeyes all the way up to a No. 2 seed in his latest look at his NCAA Tournament projections.
Now, figuring out where the Bucks fit in the big puzzle that is this year’s tournament is even harder to decipher with all games being played in and around Indianapolis because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but right now, he has Ohio State facing No. 15 seed Louisiana in the first round.

Look, this thing will change a thousand times from here to March, but right now, the Buckeyes look like an improving bunch that is playing its best ball. Let’s hope it continues that way. If it does, you’ll see even more positive NCAA Tournament projections follow.
