Happy Monday, Eleven Warriors!

For the first time in four years, Ohio State men's basketball will return to March Madness! The mythological return to the Sweet 16 for this program still seems like a pipe dream given the bracket draw against number one overall Duke assuming the Buckeyes beat TCU, but as I said on Eleven Warriors Live yesterday, making the dance is its own reward!

That said, this topic actually leads directly into This Week's Question ahead of the NCAA Tournament: What does Ohio State need to do in the postseason for you to consider this season a success?

As I've somewhat already explained from my own perspective, everything feels like gravy at this point. Even though I anticipate the Buckeyes will beat TCU, I won't be disappointed if it happens. I'll be grateful to see my school dancing at all after a somewhat embarrassing drought for such a highly visible program the last few seasons. Moreover, I'll be even more grateful that Ohio State avoided the scar on its basketball legacy of having not supported its highest-scoring player in school history to an NCAA Tournament appearance.

But what about you? How will the result of the Buckeyes' play in the tournament affect your own perception of whether or not this season was a positive for Ohio State?
