Ending the regular season on a high note, Ohio State men’s basketball gets a few days’ rest before facing its opponent in the 2026 Big Ten tournament.
The Buckeyes beat Indiana on March 7, when guard Bruce Thornton passed Dennis Hopson to become the program’s all-time leading scorer. The win strengthened the Buckeyes’ case as an at-large bid in March Madness; Ohio State projects as a No. 10 seed according to USA Today analysts.
As a No. 8 seed in the Big Ten Tournament, Ohio State faces the winner of No. 9 Iowa and No. 17 Maryland. If they advance, the Buckeyes will go toe to toe with rival Michigan, the No. 1 seed in the Big Ten, in the quarterfinals.
