2025-2026 Ohio State Men's Basketball

Mapping out the optimal realistic scenario for OSU to finish the regular season ...

1) OSU wins their last two (favored in both)
2) UCLA splits their last two (Huskers FTW!)
3) Iowa loses at least one of two (underdogs in both)

In this scenario, OSU would manage to be the #7 seed in the Big Ten tournament. Head-to-head the tiebreaker would give OSU a seeding advantage over UCLA. It would be a significant advantage to be the #7 and play the #2 (Sparty/Huskers) instead of having to face UM. Right now OSU would be the #9 seed due to losing the tiebreaker with Iowa, you don't want to be below #8 because that means playing on Wednesday. #7 and #8 don't play their first games until Thursday. As if we needed more reasons for OSU to take PSU seriously as a must-win type of game ...

I was listening to XM on the way home and Jerry Palm just said and I quote "It doesn't matter what Miami does their final 2 regular season games the only thing that matters is the MAC tournament if they go 31-0 and then lose in MAC tournament they are out"

I call BS on that if they lose in MAC tournament they still get in. I actually am hoping Miami goes 33-0 and loses to Akron in the MAC final I want to see the committee have the ball sack to leave out a 33-1 team.

Undefeated regular season i'd be shocked if they get left out.

Lose to Ohio or Toledo to end the regular season and then lose in the MAC tournament and they probably will get left out.

If Miami Ohio finishes the regular season undefeated i'd be shocked if they get left out if they lose in the MAC tourney.

If they lose to Ohio or Toledo though before the MAC tourney, then it gets important that they win the MAC tourney.

Pearl and Auburn can get fucked though, they are a wildly mediocre team who's basically living off of "but but we have the #1 schedule!!!" losses still have to matter at some point and currently Auburn is 15-14 losing 7 of 8 games (should be 8 losses in a row too they got insanely lucky to beat Kentucky) and currently 11TH PLACE in their conference. So you they have no real complaint about getting "left out"

Sources: Commanders to release CB Marshon Lattimore, save $18.5M​

The Washington Commanders informed cornerback Marshon Lattimore that he will be released before the league year begins next week, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter, a move that had been expected since Lattimore suffered a season-ending injury in November.

The new league year begins at 4 p.m. ET on March 11. The Commanders will save $18.5 million in salary cap space; they currently have the fifth-most space available. Washington is expected to be aggressive on the free agent market, particularly at corner, according to league sources.

Bruce Pearl is anti-Miami (OH) at-large & Miami's AD took issue with some of his comments. I'm not sure Miami would be last in the Big East, but I don't necessarily disagree with the notion that this team would be bottom-tier in any given power conference.

The game @ Ped State is really a crucial point for this program; they have to win and keep the momentum going. If they stumble and lose it's pretty much right back to where we were before the Purdue game.

Yeah, Ped State is the last place team in the B1G; if Ohio State can't beat them they probably do not even deserve an NCAA invite. Indiana may be a "must win" too. The Hoosiers are fighting for the NCAA invite too. They are at 17-12, 8-10 and I can't see both Ohio State and Indiana getting in. That game might just be an "elimination game" for both teams.

Bracketology Bubble Watch: Evaluating eight controversial NCAA Tournament resumes after Ohio State's big win

Here's the case for and against eight teams near the NCAA Tournament cut line entering the first week of March
www.cbssports.com www.cbssports.com
Ohio State finally earned a marquee victory on Sunday, knocking off No. 8 Purdue 82-74 for an unassailable Quad 1 win that could do wonders for the Buckeyes on Selection Sunday. Taking down the Boilermakers vaulted Ohio State from the First Four Out in CBS Sports Bracketology to a No. 10 seed as the first week of March gets underway.
Sunday was less kind to Indiana, which fell 77-64 to No. 13 Michigan State for its fourth straight loss. The Hoosiers began the day as one of the First Four Out, but woke up Monday firmly out of the field. It's IU's second four-game losing streak in Big Ten play, which has been one of the streakiest teams in college basketball under first-year coach Darian DeVries.
Indiana wasn't the only bubble team to crash over the weekend. In fact, the Hoosiers' Quad 1 loss against a quality opponent was respectable in comparison to the losses taken by Auburn and Cal. Both the Tigers and Bears suffered Quad 3 losses and are now among the First Four Out.

Fortunately, it is in Columbus. I'll say if they win the next 3 games (including one win in the B1G Tournament) they are definitely in.
