Not digging it...potentially having to deal with James
Anderson then Georgetown or Tennessee? At least the crowd should be pro-Buckeye.

Really don't like OSU's draw. Georgetown is one of the few teams that I really wanted OSU to avoid. I think they cause OSU a lot of problems.

I agree. It was like a few years ago...bad matchup. Although Monroe is a bad matchup for most. But OSU just doesn't have that tall/ long PF able to gaurd someone like Monroe. But when you make it to the sweet 16...its always going to be a tough game.

Tough draw for the Buckeyes....Just have to put their head down and get the job done! I think the Bucks can get through the first 2 rounds without too much resistance , but the Gtown game will be brutal.

Depends on which Gtown shows up. They have had some BAD losses and prior to the BET...struggled down the stretch.

OSU by 23.

I love this OSU team, but as soon as they have an off night from 3 pt land, I think they are done in this bracket.

Very true.....I think our Bucks are obviously battle tested and will be ready to go. Although a tough draw, I like our chances. We are definitely capable of beating anyone on any night.

Bucks just gotta get it done. For some reason we always end up seeing Georgetown in our half of the bracket... Kansas has the toughest road of anybody by far. I just picked some brackets on ESPN and had a hard time choosing anybody but the 4 #1s to make it all the way to Indianapolis

The Bucks never have an easy road, both Oklahoma State and Georgia Tech could pose the Buckeyes problems in the 2nd round

If the seeding really does follow an S-curve, I'm having a hard time figuring out how Villanova was a higher 2 seed than OSU. I would so much rather be in 'Nova's bracket.

Agreed, if it is an S curve then that's crazy. But I think they did OSU and WVU favors by placing OSU in Milwaukee and if they advance St. Louis and WVU got Buffalo and if they advance Syracuse; Big Ten and Big East country respectively for both.

Alternatives would have been Providence & Houston or Oklahoma City & Salt Lake City.

Buckeye nation should be well represented in Milwaukee on Friday. Wonder what time this game will be.

I thought the play-in game in Dayton was usually @ 7:00 so it could be shown on ESPN?

This is probably true....Not sure why it said noon. I refreshed the bracket and it showed the time TBA again so that game will probably end up being in the evening.

I think it has to be 7:00. You have to feel for those 2 teams... its like congratulations, you now have to prove yourself again that you deserve to get in this tournament. IF you survive, you will then get an ass beating from a #1 seed and fly 1,000 miles to do it

The play in game is definitely in the evening. I have gone the last 2 years at Dayton and it is carried on either ESPN or ESPN2.

ESPN now shows 7:30 on Tuesday for the play-in.....Much better :) Still awaiting the time slots on the rest of the bracket. I'm hoping for a late afternoon game for the Bucks, maybe 3 oclock.
