Braves Power to Sweet 16 with Elite Conference Thrashings!
Taking a look at who the Buckeyes will face in the early rounds of the NCAA Tournament.
The Ohio State Buckeyes are the first team to tip off as March Madness officially kicks off on Thursday, March 19. They square off against the TCU Horned Frogs at 12:15 ET at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, SC, with the game streaming on CBS. Ohio State enters as 2.
5-point favorites as of Tuesday, looking to prove they are more than a one-and-done in their first tournament appearance since 2022. So just how deep can this team go? Let's be real.
Ohio State landed in one of the toughest sides of the bracket in the East, where five-plus teams are legitimate threats capable of clawing their way out of this gauntlet. If the Buckeyes get past TCU in round one, they draw No. 1-seeded Duke .
How's that for a welcome mat? This side of the bracket also doubles as a coaching clinic, featuring Duke's Jon Scheyer, UConn's Dan Hurley, Michigan State's Tom Izzo, Kansas' Bill Self, St. John's Rick Pitino, and UCLA's Mick Cronin.
