Buckeyes will play two (projected) 1-seeds in consecutive days. When does that ever happen?

Doing it missing a senior starter as well.

Very rare. Unheard of for a team projected as a #2 seed. If OSU wins this title, they will have one of the greatest conference tourney runs in NCAA history. Top-60 team, then a #4 seed, a #1 seed and another #1.

I just want to come out of it healthy. We've already lost KY. I hope he's back for the second round - shouldn't need him to win a 2/15 game.

Any game can be tricky, but certainly CH has assembled some quality depth on this team. So long as EJ and Duane are healthy, OSU can put some semblance of their best foot forward.

We do have good depth at the 3/4 positions as we saw today. Thanks to losing two PGs, that is the thinnest spot. CJ Walker has little behind him.

Maybe my favorite thing about the NCAA tourney changes this year - especially now that OSU is in the BTT title game - is the fact that the Bucks can't play again until Friday at the earliest. Plus we know the travel will be minimal. No chance of an early cross-country Thursday game that penalizes you for winning in the BTT.

Yeah, after 4 days in a row of B1G Tournament games, 4 days of no games will be a good thing.
