I figured they needed to win one of their last 2 or a couple in the BTT. I think beating the conference leader has secured them a bid. Their computer rankings are solid and will be at least .500 in the conference. I agree there is an issue with their record away from home, but in yet another weak bubble year, they are pretty safe now as they shouldn't be playing a bad team in the BTT

And both IU and MN have their share of wins, fighting to get on the right side of the bubble.
B1G very well might get a big ten in the Dance.
I'd say we only have one team with a decent shot at advancing past the S16 (MSU), but the quality depth in the conference this season was insane. I think next season will be similar in that regard.

via reddit, based on the prediction that osu beats illinois and loses to msu. from osu's perspective, the difference between this and the bracket as it stood a couple days ago (link) is that osu would play maryland instead of msu in our second game.

MEN'S BASKETBALL: LATE-SEASON SURGE PROVES OHIO STATE DETRACTORS PREMATURE
Chris Holtmann doesn’t tweet much.
The Ohio State head basketball coach has sent out just one post to his 40,000-plus following in the new year, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t see what the college basketball community had to say about his Buckeyes on the platform a month ago.
“We realize plenty of people wrote us off when we were 2-6,” Holtmann said. “Had people making fun of us, putting all their sarcastic tweets out there. I got them all saved. All of them.”
For the moment, at least, the authors of such inflammatory posts regarding the sorry January state of the Buckeye basketball team have been made to look silly by Holtmann and the surging Ohio State squad.
The Buckeyes have won eight of their past 10 games in a Big Ten conference with eight of its 14 teams in the latest edition of the Associated Press Top 25 Poll and 10 in Joe Lundardi’s latest March Madness bracket projection for ESPN.
“I have been a part of some turnarounds from a difficult January, but I don’t think I’ve been a part of one this significant where you’ve seen such a dramatic turnaround,” Holtmann said. “And again, after the season we’ll sit down and try to figure out why exactly that is, but we’ve really had a dramatic shift.”
With wins against then-No. 7 Maryland and then-No. 19 Michigan in two of the past three games, Ohio State is closing out the regular season the same way it began the opening two months: like one of the best teams in the country.
Few foresaw the freefall that followed, dropping from No. 2 to unranked in three weeks time amid a six-of-seven-game losing skid where Ohio State won just two of its opening eight conference games.
By the time the Buckeyes took on Northwestern Jan. 26, only the Wildcats and Nebraska had lower standings in the Big Ten.
“We had to close ranks and find a way to try to come together and perform better and own why we were struggling and what we were doing to struggle,” Holtmann said. “Coaches, players, own it.”
