It’s that time of the season where fans google “Ohio State bracketology” or “Ohio State bracket prediction” every day leading up to the NCAA Tournament, trying to keep tabs on who the Buckeyes might see in the first round of the tournament and beyond. It’s especially enticing to check for updates this season, as the Buckeyes have an opportunity to earn their highest NCAA Tournament seed in almost a decade, with most outlets placing them on the 2-line heading into the Big Ten Tournament this weekend.
The last time Ohio State earned that high of a seed was the 2012-2013 season, when the DeShaun Thomas and Aaron Craft-led Buckeyes went 26-7 en route to a 2-seed in the west region.
