2025-2026 Ohio State Men's Basketball

Now that Iowa lost, a win vs Indiana = first Big Ten tournament game on Thursday which is huge because it means you don't have a chance to play a bad team that will wreck your tournament chances if you lose.
Obviously we want OSU to have the double-bye; however, there is no guarantee that Iowa will beat the winner of Maryland/Oregon, as the Hawkeyes have already lost to Maryland and PSU this season. Yes, it reduces the odds of OSU having a bad loss there, but it's not guaranteed. I like it more from the standpoint of I do want to see OSU try and compete for the B1G tourney championship, and it's much more likely from a Thursday start. If they can find a way to beat Iowa (or MD/Oregon) and upset UM, I could see them taking the tournament. But those first two games could be the toughest.
