They should. Any team winning the Big Ten this year other than Indiana is an impressive accomplishment. Really. The Hoosiers were deemed heavy, heavy favorites entering the year.

Call me crazy, but I think Ohio State can still get a one seed if they beat Indiana and, say, Michigan or Michigan State (not sure what the brackets look like) on the way to a Big Ten tournament title.

If the current Wikipedia page for the tournament is accurate, they would play the PUR/NEB winner first, and assuming a win, they would play the winner of whoever the 3 seed ends up being (UM/MSU/WISC, depending on results) and IOWA/NW. Indiana would not match up with them unless/until both make the finals

According to the Chicago Tribune, Illinois is the 8 and plays 9 Minnesota.

Great game today but the lack of a student section kinda stunk. This team is finally rolling and at a perfect time

Solid game for Ohio State. Most players seem to be coming into their own now except Ross and Williams. Craft, Scott, Thompson, Smith, Thomas and Rav seem to be the 6 that will get 95% of the playing time now because Ross and Williams are just disappointing and can only play a max of 10 minutes in a meaningful game now with how inconsistent they are. Scott and Thompson stepping up lately have been huge, and I don't want to get ahead of myself but this team is looking really good. Hopefully they take care of business Friday and Saturday and get a third game with Indiana Sunday.

No, it was a road game. Why would they do that?

As of March 8, 2013 Lunardi has OSU as a #3 seed playing in Dayton. Whatever the Buckeyes need to do to stay there is what I want.

SMH. I'd love to be the 9 seed in Duke's region to give them their early exit.

It would be great if the coaches could pick where they want to go. Overall @1 seed gets the first pick and so on. It would be great TV.

If Bucks can get to the B1G title game they don't have to win it to be a higher seed than 4 in any region. I'd like to see us get a 3 or 4 in KS region. Indy and Duke are gonna tough early in the Big Dance and we need to stay clear until absolutely have to go up agoinst them.

OSU makes the BTT Final, they are a 2 seed.

As long as OSU beats the winner of Purdue/Nebraska, they are a 3 seed with a probable 2 seed if they make the finals (they would most likely play MSU in the semi-finals) as Laley mentioned.

If they lose to Purdue, probably a 3-4 seed. If they lose to Nebraska, they'd for sure be a 4, possibly a five.

Also, with all predictions, it could change depending on other teams around OSU taking bad losses in their tournaments.

Bigtime. No way. At least 4 could have gone before him.

This one had me scratching my head as well. However, that being said, he's prolly as NBA ready as anyone in the B1G.
