Ohio State basketball drops a bit in latest Joe Lunardi March Madness bracketolgy
Yes, most of us count on days at the start of Ohio football, but each passing month also brings us closer to the start of another university basketball season. To be fair, there was a little apathy of fans on the banks of Olentangy with the male basketball program because the administration simply does not seem to have the same set of winning expectations as the football program A, especially after having missed the NCAA tournament three consecutive years now.
But there is a certain optimism which increases in Columbus after several additions of the transfer portal, and perhaps, even a certain addition by subtraction for the guys who have underperformed. Add these ingredients to the mixture of return production such as the guards Bruce Thornton and John Mobley Jr., as well as the attacker Devin Royal, and perhaps, perhaps, the head coach Jake Diebler can run this thing.
The national media seem to adhere to the fact that Ohio State can also be this winter. Even the resident fork of ESPN, Joe Lunardi, was quite optimistic about the Buckeyes, having them as a seeded n ° 4 beforehand during his May effort of all the teams that will make the NCAA 2026 tournament.
But that slipped a little, according to what Lunardi shared for his decrease in the crochetology in June. One of the most popular hookologists has no OSU on the standard line 4; He actually lowered the two lines of buckey seeds at n ° 6. It seems a little hard on the basis of really not much movement in a month by teams in both cases during the offseason, but on the basis of what we have seen of Ohio State in the last three years, I suppose that it is to be expected.
So where and who Lunardi has the buckeyes that play in the first round (keeping in mind that there is no way just at this stage trying to understand everything)? Ohio State is split in the West region, playing in San Diego against VCU n ° 11.

We could throw more warnings than the disclosure of the general insurance conditions here, so do not get angry too much on this subject. After all, register now, knowing that the OSU has not been part of March Madness since 2022? I think yes.
Now we will let you go back to your regularly scheduled football program …
