COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — The Ohio State Buckeyes men’s basketball team is the No. 6 seed in the 2022 Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis.
After a regular season where the Buckeyes finished 19-10 with 12 conference wins, they will hit the court on Thursday against the winner of No. 11 Penn State – No. 14 Minnesota in the second round.
The Buckeyes will be looking for Big Ten postseason success in 2022 after losing the 2021 Big Ten title game to Illinois. OSU hasn’t won the Big Ten tournament since 2013.
Ohio State is also hoping to avoid a first-round upset in March Madness this year after its shocking defeat last season to Oral Roberts in overtime.
