The full NCAA Tournament bracket will be revealed at 8 p.m. Sunday on ESPN. The Buckeyes, who enter the NCAA Tournament with a 26-7 record, are widely projected to be a No. 3 seed.
Ohio State was upset in the second round of the NCAA Tournament despite having home-court advantage for each of the last two years, falling to Tennessee as a No. 4 seed in 2025 and losing to Duke as a No. 2 seed in 2024. The Buckeyes, led by unanimous first-team All-Big Ten point guard Jaloni Cambridge, will hope to turn their home-court advantage into better results this year as they look to make it back to the second weekend of the tournament for the first time since 2023.
