The Ohio State women's basketball team is going where its counterpart on the men's side is not: the NCAA tournament. The Buckeyes will go dancing as the 3-seed in the Sioux Falls region, and will host Buffalo in Columbus on Friday, March 18th, at 2:20 p.m. ET on ESPN2. Due to the state high school basketball tournament being played at the team's usual home of Value City Arena, the game will be played at St. John's Arena.
After spending much of 2016 among the top five in the country, and as frontrunner in the Big Ten, Ohio State lost three of its final four games, including an 82-63 walloping in the conference tournament semifinals by Michigan State.
