Ohio State might have secured an at-large bid into the NCAA tournament by beating Indiana on Thursday, but it could relieve any remaining uncertainty by toppling Michigan State on Friday.
In what many analysts viewed as essentially a play-in game for the NCAA tournament, the Buckeyes downed the Hoosiers, 79-75, by staving off a second-half comeback in their first game of the Big Ten tournament. But given the nature of the bubble, no one can quite be sure whether they locked up a spot or not.
"I hope we're in, but if we win tomorrow, I feel like we're definitely in," Keyshawn Woods said after the win against the Hoosiers.
