Only one time in history has a team seeded outside the top-four won the Big Ten tournament.
That honor belongs to Iowa, which won the league's annual end-of-season tournament as a No. 6 seed way back in 2001. Every other league tournament champion, however, has been seeded either No. 1, 2, 3 or 4.
That doesn't exactly bode well for Ohio State's chances this weekend.
The Buckeyes are the No. 11 seed for year's Big Ten tournament in Washington D.C. — the lowest seed ever under head coach Thad Matta. It's been a trying year filled with more downs than ups, so the odds of a deep tournament run were kind of a longshot anyway, but what, exactly, is Ohio State looking at?
