Ohio State's Big Ten Tournament position is set.
With Ohio State beating Indiana and UCLA beating USC on Saturday night, the Buckeyes are locked in as the No. 8 seed heading into the conference tourney. They beat out Iowa by one game for the final double-bye spot.
Ohio State will play its first game of the Big Ten Tournament on Thursday, facing the winner of the ninth-seeded Hawkeyes and the winner of the No. 16 vs. No. 17 seed game between Oregon and Maryland. Iowa beat the Buckeyes 74-57 on Feb. 25. The Buckeyes won their regular-season matchups vs. the Ducks and Terrapins.
Should the Buckeyes win their first game, they will face the No. 1 seed and Big Ten regular-season champion, Michigan, in the quarterfinals. The Wolverines swept Ohio State in the teams' two-game season series.
The Buckeyes will tip off in their first Big Ten Tournament game at noon Thursday. Big Ten Network will carry the broadcast.
