Ohio State hasn't made it to at least the Sweet 16 since the 2012-13 season when Thad Matta reached the Elite Eight before falling to Wichita State.
The Buckeye program earned NCAA Tournament bids in six of the eight years since and of course last year didn't afford an opportunity to play postseason games due to the onset of the pandemic. The jury is still out on how this season's squad will fare.
During those last eight seasons, only once did the program finish at least second in the Big Ten regular season standings. The seven other campaigns saw the Buckeyes place no better than fifth with sixth, seventh, eighth and 10th-place finishes dotting the resume.
