After going much of the season without a quality win over a top-50 RPI team to their name, the Buckeyes men’s basketball team scored two such victories in the past week, beating Purdue Tuesday and Michigan State Saturday. These wins will boost the Bucks’ NCAA tournament resume, however there is still work to be done in the upcoming Big Ten Tournament.
We will bring you the broadcast as Ohio State and Michigan State meet for the second time in five days Friday at 2:30 p.m. Many, including myself, believe the Buckeyes are still on the bubble and need this win to get serious consideration for an at-large tournament berth. Even that may leave the decision at a toss-up. If the Buckeyes win Friday AND Saturday to reach their second straight Big Ten tournament final, that should put them over the top and basically clinch an at-large berth.
This team seems to have some swagger back and all the momentum of big home victories. Matt Friedman, along with Josh Ellis and Gabe Norris will dig our cars out of the blizzard and make the three-hour drive to Indianapolis to cover the tournament and hope the Buckeyes can make it to Sunday. Stay tuned to the blog throughout the weekend for updates about our experiences at the tournament. Go Bucks!
