On Sunday afternoon we saw the end of the season for the Ohio State men’s basketball team. It’s not like the exit prior to the Sweet Sixteen wasn’t expected for the Buckeyes, though. As soon as the brackets came out last Sunday, many were calling for the Loyola-Chicago Ramblers to knock off Ohio State. A second-straight first round exit wasn’t in the cards for the Buckeyes, however, as they smothered the 10-seed in Pittsburgh on Friday.
Unfortunately, Ohio State wasn’t able to make the Sweet Sixteen for the first time under Chris Holtmann, as the Buckeyes fell to Villanova 71-61 on Sunday afternoon.
